we we too agree Some people just don't read
Age Range On YOUR Profile
Swingersontheweekend hit the nail on the head. We have please do not Im us all over our profile. Yet we get 5 to 6 IMs a day. As far as age range if they are a couple years outside of it we would consider them.
For some people age is just a number that helps the computers recommend approximate matches. Personalities, looks, body type, maturity, stamina, endowment, skill are typically more important and are at best only loosely related to the age number.
So for many people there's a desired age range and also a willingness to consider people outside that age range if the other profile factors look interesting. If age (or anything else) is a hard and fast criteria just state it in your profile to give people a clear idea of what you're looking for in an ideal match.
OP. The answer is simple.
People do not read profiles. They do not care what YOU want, only what THEY want.
There is also those who buy into the Frat Boy mentality of "If you ask 100 people to have sex, one will say yes"
We had "Please do not IM us" in red as our opening line. We still had ppl IM us.
I think it is a bit rude for people outside our preferred age range to contact us for meeting up without perhaps giving a "good" reason they think they should have. We have only had it happen by those on the older side of it usually with the words "Want to meet up." and that's about it. We have ours set based on her preferences and while she may decide to contact someone outside of it that is her choice to make. The same can be said for single males contacting those looking for couples of females, people well outside an evening's drive (I mean we live on the east coast and are not going out to the west coast for a hookup), and folks with obviously different interests on their profile. Of course the different interests could be just the profile not matching current interests. They could however say that in the e-mail you send but we have seen simply "Hi we think she is sexy." or something similar and yet their profile states she has no interest in women or worse yet "bareback only" when we are clear about condom use only.
I do need to add we did contact someone who we were outside their age range recently. That said we were not asking for a meet up but rather wanted a question or two answered about a club they had recently attended for the first time that we plan to attend. It was to get their impression and know what to expect as someone new to the group walking in. We got an answer and told they had done the same thing. LOL.
Too bad SLS doesn’t have a male and female age preference separately, ie The Mrs. 888 doesn’t like her men being the age I’ll have for women, being having our own age gap. As we may show 25-60, hers is like 30-52 (with rare exception to younger) and mine is 18-65ish.

I don't email others when I'm out of their age range. I figure they put that range up for a reason, and that I should respect that reason, even if I haven't the slightest idea what it is.
On the other hand, I've occasionally been contacted by people who have age ranges that exclude me, or even those that say "no single men" in their profile. But that's their decision, it's not me being pushy and ignoring their stated criteria.
SLS doesn't automatically update when they go blind, cripple or crazy either.
“Another reason is that the age range is not a hard and fast rule for some ppl”
Exactly.
18-80; blind, cripple or crazy.
OP: SLS doesn’t automatically update ages.

Wow. Not the answer I was expecting, but your answer made my night! Thanks TallMark!
Your at an age and have the look people from all age ranges will go for, lucky you...enjoy it all.....Mary Jo
Hi.
I have noticed even though I have put an 'Age Range' I still have those that send messages even if they are younger or older than the age specified. Why do you think that is? Do others do that to you? Maybe they don't look at the age range or care?
Not a big deal, just wondering.
Thanks
