Add a checkbox to the age filter to block users outside the age range I set from contacting me.

Not so fast, I happen to be one and there are many, like me they are looking for older, younger, as well as near the same age. I happen to have a broad range but generally older than 45, younger than that it seems maturity and criminal stupidity are common denominators so I eliminate a large swath of them w/that general rule. I'm 62
OK after reading some very insightful comments I'm inclined to agree w/this age filter thing too. I can't understand why anyone can get mad about a choice. Be it age or any reason as long as your not insulting about the rejection of their attention. If they get mad, block them. I have specific choices and some are pushy and impatient. Makes me feel their up to no good anyway, why the hurry and meet crap.

It could be interesting to be able to filter the age of people who can see my profile. If I don’t want to be contacted by people out of a specific age range.

The actual age filter is to search for men WHO HAVE the ages set by the filter.
What I am requesting is to be able to filter out men who DO NOT WANT to contact people of my age.
PLEASE!!

There is an option to filter the age & you don't have to pay anything for that. It's absolutely free. You will find the age filter option on the top right corner of the app. There you just click it and then Choose the min and Max age group that you are looking for.

There is a age filter I use it all the time

You have to pay for grinder to use the age filter

There is a age filter and I love it

This would definitely be a great addition. I'm tired of the people that take it as a personal insult that I'm just not interested in older guys. Whether you like it or not, I just never get along with older people. It's never happened in the past, and likely never will. I'm not attracted to them either, so letting them see my profile and then message me when there's literally 0 chance I'd ever bother is just ridiculously stupid.

It's like how they don't allow you to filter by position (top, bottom, or verse) for free.. it makes no sense whatsoever for me, as a top, to see other tops.. That's a very integral part of gay dating and sex (obviously), it shouldn't be something locked behind a paywall. Just like the age thing is very integral and shouldn't be locked behind a paywall if it's added.

Wow. A quick look at some of the comments should make it clear that this feature is long overdue.

There’s something deeply concerning about grown men being outraged at hypothetically being unable to message significantly younger people on a dating/hookup app who would never be interested in them anyway, especially when they co-opt the language of social justice to make it seem like they’re protesting some sort of terrible injustice. Crying discrimination because someone doesn’t want to date or have sex with someone significantly older than them? Really? The level of entitlement is astounding.

This and the ethnicity filter both need to be added! Also, for all users, not just XTRA!

1) Stephen Fry's husband is 30 years his juniorvetc
2) pests come in all ages...good communication and interpersonal skills go a long way to dealing with it
3) I also strongly suggest reading and adhering to the grindr community guidelines if one hasn't done so already
4) it just so happens that the guys i find attractive happen to be younger...funny thing my old mums the same but her bff used to like much older guys...and thanks to grindr my much younger current lover who also like older men was able to find me
5) I do like the idea of features that allow users to search for people with compatible preference so for example if i like otters and someone else like daddies we could findI each other quicker more efficiently...
6) could say more...the aesthetics of ageism for instance but that'll do...gotta get back to grindr and check out all those sexually provocative pictures put up mainly by younger guys which make grindr such a titilating experience for me (even if they do breach the community guidelines)

Let's say you wanna see exclusively people that are between 20 to 30 and you select this range in the age filter, then your profile should only be shown to this people

This way we won't be repetitively spammed by people we are not interested in.

I feel the same way! I would add the ability to specify any filter so that only people in the age/tribe/body type/etc. I’m looking for can see me

You should be able to set filters for who can see your profile, like by age. I’m tired of getting horny messages from old men I want nothing to do with. It would help a lot of people out and help to get rid of unwanted messages and taps.

Being able to only see the profiles from those interested in people of whichever age you are. The amount of misplaced energy starting conversations with people looking for younger/older guys than you is staggering.

I'd like this. It works both ways. I'd be happy not getting a bunch of creepy kids in their 20s calling me daddy. I'm looking for a serious partner.

I’ll be honest, the age consent is 16 in Ohio, the app say +17... I know that older guys may creep on young guy but some of y’all need to understand if young guys that are at LEAST the age of 17 and wants to hookup with older men let us. Of something goes wrong the block button is there for a reason and I think 17 year olds should be able to be on here with no problem and we should be able to set our age on here to 17, if older guys don’t wanna mess with us because our age..alright if they block us oh well, us teens want sex (not to sound weird) and teens our age don’t really get that and Grindr is basically our only way to get what we desire

Like to search for guys based on the age group they are interested in. I like younger guys but hard to determine who are interested in older

Age filter does not work
