And a least I showed my face. Im requesting this type of option to avoid efforts in making contact with someone who isn't interested in me do to my age.

Yes I would like to see a field for age group preferences. When setting up your profile.

Would definitely want my profile viewable only by a certain age range I choose and set. No brainer!

people over/under preferred/filtered age should not be able to view my profile

I am a Grinder user in Norway. I am 44 years old, but I really like younger guys. I don't know if this is the case in every country, but in Norway, Grinder is treated like a brothel and not as a dating site. There are tons of perverts and bad people here. Grinder in Norway is one big garbage can. The mockery of age and rudeness is the order of the day. Is it the same in other countries. I am gay and nowadays in the Norwegian community they are mostly fags - if you understand the differences.

How about we all stop being ageists and focus instead on personality and attraction? I turned 51 last year. If you look at me you would guess that I'm in my late 30s. I have talked to a lot of guys on Grindr who have the "my age" phrase in their profile. After they see that I'm a great guy and they like me I tell them how hold I am. They're always shocked. I don't care how old someone is. If I'm attracted to them that's all that matters. I know a lot of older guys who get depressed over the rejection they experience. It's a horrible way to live.

Le bouton Afficher l’âge ne fonctionne plus

@Amit well you're missing my point: there can't be any filter based on attractiveness because attractiveness is 100% subjective. or explain to me how such a filter would work.

I agree that there is a lot of ageism on grindr and or the gay community in general. and yes actual age and how old someone looks are also two different things. .

But still, the point of this filter would be that IF someone has a strict age filter and IF I'm outside of their age range, that THEN I don't even want to see their profile. It's just a matter of efficiency. Why should I waste time looking at profiles if our age preferences don't match?

@jo you are missing the point.what's the meaning of age limit if the fact that they are not aware of my age makes them msg me? Isn't it a sign that age is merely based on prejudice and based on notions from older times?
Besides I didn't lie to them.hiding my age is not lying.
Please explain to me why they msged me in the first place and why my age is so crucial on that scenario.try to answer to the question to the point and not just declare vague nobel rights they might have to choose there age limit
Filter BASED on attractivness.not an attractivness filter perse

@Amit yeah right, attractiveness is completely objective of course. what a lot of bull. and it's perfectly understandable if people have age limits, and you should respect that instead of lying to them. and for what? get 100 instead of 10 messages. quality over quantity is the better approach anyway.

hey how are things

Would rather grindr be more CIS gay male centric.

I agree.

When I put in my real age which 52 I get 10 mags a day.when I hide my real age I get 100 msg a day.not kidding.what does it mean? Why is age so important given the info I just wrote.If there is a filter it should be based of attractivnrss ..not age which is so random

I think grindr can skip this question. even if hv an age filter, it isn't going to work because young ones pretend to be old and old ones pretend to be young.

It seems to be a good idea well-thought-out and presented I would vote Yes for it

So we all know that there are young guys who don't want to receive messages from older guys, but that there are also young guys who ONLY want to receive messages from older guys. Likewise, there are older guys who are ONLY interested in younger guys, and older guys who are not at all interested in younger guys. You'd think - wouldn't you? - that an app like Grindr would be smart enough to give people the kind of messages that they want. In the premium account, it is possible to set features of "my type" that include the age range I'm interested in, and that means that I only "see" people who are in that age range. But what it does NOT do, is give any indication whatsoever of whether the people I am seeing are interested in me. Unless of course those users have been clever enough to write the information in their textual profile (e.g., "Only want to hear from guys 20-30" or whatever). It would be great to have the "my type" fields performing a matching function, but that might only work with premium accounts. A better solution would be to have a mandatory field that requires people to fill out an age range of person in whom they are interested ... and that should include "any" for those who don't care about age.

Is anyone know why I can’t filter people let’s say from 26 to 26? Only range from 26-29 - unfortunately. I think maybe because I have too many messaging people and this is kind of grinder restrictions?

Hey

I often thought the same. But you never know, what can happen. And! Isn’t it kind of self restriction?
