I agree, but from the other end. I'm an older guy, who is primarily interested in people younger than myself. Thus, I am always worried I am pestering someone whose profile specifically does not mention they are interested in someone older.They may be filtering by age, but that doesn't prevent me from seeing and messaging them. If a feature like this were implemented, I would only see profiles of younger folk open to my age range, and I Could select the age range that I want to see. , and who I want to see ME. Sort of targeted blocking. I would welcome it.

I mean you could just block them yourself and move on. Better yet, tell them you’re not interested on their chat and in your bio. I have that I don’t date Or **** with anyone over 26.

I wish. I’m a teacher and would love to block guys under 25 or so just to be safe. For this reason, I cannot use Grindr.

What next? Auto-Block trans people? Auto-block a race group? The people voting on this idea need an education on discrimination. A simple polite no thank you is all that is required, and if they pest you block them.

Ageism in the gay community is far worse now than in any time I can remember. It's mostly the GenZs. Shame!

It's funny reading this idea and the messages also . So much hate for nothing. If you are not a paying member please understand that your opinions or requests shouldn't be valid. Be aware that the majority of members paying to use this site are in all levels mature either by age or mentally. Thus giving the ones that don't pay a chance to access the site. I don't think blocking old men from contacting you should even considered immoral because we are all getting older and there's no way around it. Be happy people are contacting you. Some don't even get that and if your tired of it all. Put down your phone for once and do something else. If you block every man because there's always something that will turn you off then be prepared that the day will come when you get off that high horse of yours and look in the mirror to see you are old yourself. Over 30 so I heard is considered old men. I'm 34 and Im not into rocking the cradle but I'm not going to block them or act harshly. I wasn't raised that way. Peace out

I was wondering about that too.?
I login and I spend the 1st 20 mins. dealing with taps from hairless boys that clearly can’t read or don’t take the time to read my profile. Because it’s clearly stated “looking for guys around my age” & “must have face pic to chat”. But there they are 23 and tapping away with their faceless profile trying hook with older guys. I’ve always found younger guys kinda boring, a bit light in the substance of conversation and frankly a little shallow. And by reading some of the comments here not much has change with “Woke” generation. But I take the time to return their compliments. Let them know that even when I was 20 yrs old I wasn’t into 23 yr. old guys.
Maybe I’ve learned with age that it’s just a number and it’s not cool to refer to people as grandpa or that old guy. It’s just common sense and time to grow up and acting like men. This isn’t high school, you don’t need to hide behind a filer setting or a faceless profile to find a nice way to say “I’m not interested”.Put yourself in their shoes before you’re to harsh on these older men. Your gonna get there one day, hopefully you’ll find someone your own age that isn’t trying to hook up with all hairless boys.
Grow up! You playn’ with men now. It’s not all about you. Besides being to self obsolete is never a good look at any age.

I'm so sick of little boys under 25 messaging me I delete them then they create another profile and message me again. The age to sign up should be older at Least 21.

Um leaving aside the "above your preferred age aspect" the answer is quite simple. Introduce a compulsory default whereby a profile must contain the persons age and their age range. When that is done you can then have a setting, default or optional, whereby only those within your age range can message you. You can even hide your own age and age range because people will only be able to see mutually compatible profiles.
I might add that rather than being draconian or discriminatory, blocking those outside of age ranges is a help because it eleminate pursuing those who will not be interested in the end.

Such an ability would be out of line with Grindr's anti-discrimination policy, if not illegal in certain places. It's also a violation of Google's Terms of Services for the App store, which prohibits applications that are used primarily for adult purposes.

Look at all these old guys here angry about the possibility of not being able to be creeps and message kids anymore. Maybe just try and hook up with someone your own age? And not waste young people's time, who don't want to date their grandpa

Can we also do it to block people younger than your stated preference. Plus possible age verification and a separate site for camp young pouting screaming queens. Getting very fed up with this site.
