Wow. Hateful much?

Spoken like a true insecure, self-absorbed, and pretentious twink. If a message is "creepy" then simply block them. That was hard. It really is amazing what gay guys are turning into these days. I don't personally care what your age is (as long as you're legal), if I'm not interested I politely say so, and if you get salty about it you get blocked. I promise it's not hard to take less than a minute out of your extremely important life to be kind to another human being.

TL;DR: BAD idea for a feature.

Texas age requirement is 17 and on the Grindr app it says 17 and up but when I select my what age I am it says I have to be 18 and up on the app

just say in your profile what kind of guy you're looking for. If someone messages you and you're not interested, don't reply. Delete the message. Simple

What Happened To Age Ranging? Restore It And Stop Us Wasting Each Others' Time.
My preferred age range has disappeared from my profile as has everyone else's. The result has been catastrophic. The number of people contacting me has dropped dramatically, and there has been a marked increase from those I am not interested in who are unintentionally wasting my time.
We are all wasting our time and each others' because of this. Please restore age ranging.

This is just as offensive as blocking people by ethnicity, height, weight etc. Anyone can be creepy at any age. If you’re not attracted say not my type and move on.

My profile has lost the facility to search within my preferred age range or to state it. By the same token it would appear others have lost the same because I am now finding that most of my responses are from people I clearly have no interest in compared to before while my screen is cluttered up with many people out of my range. This has happened about a week ago. Can this be seen to because either I'm wasted most of my contacts time or they are wasting mine.

I have to agree, this will promote more dishonesty and would not be a good feature.

Disagree. But I think there should be a profile field where you can describe the type of guy (or age) you're into.

This used to be a standard feature about 6 years ago. Bring it back please!!

Bad idea. You'll just get more lying. Far better to make ones age range compulsory to show on ones profile which saves those too young or too old from firing blanks

Agree with the general consensus. Bad idea all around.

Also a message isn't creepy just because it comes from an old guy or someone you're not attracted to. I have received creepy messages from guys of all ages.

If Grindr implements such feature, it's only a matter of time before someone else asks the feature to be extended to blocking people based on ethnicity etc.

You have the option to simply ignore a message or saying that you're not interested.

Aggreed

Silly twinks. Grow up. I'm a 23 y/o twink type myself but no interest in others (chubby guys over 40 only, thank you very much). And you know who is **** obnoxious? All the other twinks begging me to ********* or send pics

.... Or you could grow the **** up and say 'no thanks'

Might be creepy and unwanted for you.

Even though my interest aren’t older men, I still have a lot of respect for what they achieved for us years back and will politely say no everytime.........unless they are super model hot lol

It should be generally for anyone who doesn't match your age range.

I want more then 10 blocks a day. I want to be able to see my age group I select

How to find guys that are (looking for older men / daddies) so I can stop bugging guys that are not interested in older men.
