Forgot to mention I actually only look for guys my age or older but when I filter it's full of guys my age who only want young twinks or only want tops etc so I waste my time being rejected...

This is kinda what I have said as well, if a user is younger and only interested in for example upto 40 only then they won't show up if I do a filter for younger as I'm too old for them. Saves being rejected or a screen full of guys I have said I like but actually wont like me

A way to help entice people to pay for the app is make this a paid feature. If one pays for the app, then they have the ability to enable the age range of people they are interested in so that anyone outside that range will not see their profiles.

If I'm 22 looking for 19-24 I shouldn't have to get random d pics or awkward messages from 40+ sorry not everyone's thing we all got types and everyons preference should be considered it's not just ageism that's stupid to say that's ignorant or selfish or give hate back.

I got your back 150% percent I'm tired of having to waste space in bio to say sorry not into older... And yet the train of messages ensue.smh.

This is not a good solution.

I have had long-term, mutually wanted friendships and relationships with guys of all ages, including some much older than me, and some much younger than me. I try to get along with everyone and be a good neighbor and good friend. I try to be supportive of everyone.

We need to focus on good behavior in general, not a discriminatory feature like age blocking. I think that if someone is nasty to you, whatever their age, you should be able to get Grindr to ban them.

We are all in the same village, the same community. People of every age can be supportive of each other and kind to each other. That makes us stronger as a community.

It's just as creepy to have you young punks threaten and insult older guys!

This wont work. They will abuse it by entering an incorrect birthdate.

I agree. It is not like i am not blocking them anyway. The same ones that keep on trying even though i said no 7272 times and blocked them everytime are the most creepy.

I prefer not wasting their time by them just not seeing my profile. I truly think that is nicer than to turn them down everytime and them keep on trying wirh everyone.

For them the app will probably be a lot more boring so they probably will lie about their birthdate.

This is discrimination why always gay people discriminate themselves about skin colour age serology etc? This is not appropriate!

Who says that the 25-35 year old gets to determine of the other gets messaged. Who says you get to violate the rule.

Just as much as I would like to block all the kids who think because your a daddy you should be generous.

should I leave my 'filters' on ? or off ? I don't know what its for

A field to add your preferred age range would actually help as a start, but blocking people out might be the better option - even... you might miss out on some amazing people - because people look really different as what you often expect what is said in their passport.

By the way: It also works the other way around.

As if just "older guys" are the creepy ones!

Any "unwanted age" can be annoying if you do not communicate it.

The only way right now to add it is in the regular dating profile field.

Did you add your preferred age there? I encounter too many who write "I already have a daddy and grandfather, thank you." - nobody knows what that means. I would be helpful if people start writing more often "nobody over 25" or "between 18-25 only" if you that is your preferred age range

This is being vote here already: https://grindr.uservoice.com/forums/912631-grindr-feature-requests/suggestions/34531558-preferred-age-range

This is really surprising that this is still not available. A lot of complaining from people who do not fill out their age preferences in their generic text fields. It would help to save time and a lot of annoying discussions and insults, even!

Just ignore them man or get over it...

I'm eagerly waiting for this person's 30th birthday. I think I'd pay for a "Big Brother" style show of his first grey hair, first discovery of his receding hairline... Oh yeah :-D

Hateful for speaking the truth? Okay. Good thing it's worse than the rampant ageism and racism on the app, huh? "smh"

and yet I look up and 973 grindr users vote for this? too bad I can't block people who voted for this. SO sick and tired of listening to the whining children 30 and younger. Jesus, sit down smoke that blunt in your hand and wait right there.. I will be back with some of that government cheese to go with the whine. If we all just let peeps be who they be and don't F**** worry bout it...... Oh wait it might spoil your wine...

Imagine being creeped out by such a thing? How the world must suck for him.
