Oh but you can take out a mortgage and probably get that feature

Same goes for messages from younger guys looking Daddies. An ability to only accept messages from those in a specific age band would be useful.

Would be good as a basic filter to save time and not offend others outside of age range as would know not to message

I’ve always thought it would be cool to have some sort of reverse filter. Say I prefer guys 21-40. Don’t just show me those guys, but prevent guys outside of this range from seeing me too. I suppose this could be a bit problematic for 40yo guys that turn 41...do they just disappear even though I may be interested or talking to them?

90% of the unwanted messages I get are from the 40+ crowd, despite my age range being clear in my profile. It never stops and frankly it’s disgusting.

+1 for age range message filters. This is a feature I would gladly pay extra for.

To be able to block ANY of the characteristics from either view or receiving messages.

Ageism is entirely ugly.

Similar option smoker/non-smoker, drinkers, drug users, local/nonLocal, anyone with a www.***.com in the profile.

Endless List is possible.

Heers

Add it to where we can block a certain age range from messaging us. Ex, 40-99. Im tired of getting nasty old guy d pics

Maybe profiles should have minimum and maximum age range by default
God only knows how shite I feel for flirting

Yeah, but make it vice versa though for all the stupid, narrow minded, young idiots (who mostly are not even that **** themselves) who text me, although I am way above the range they have in their profile, telling me that I am an exception. No thanks, I don’t do stupid guys. Also, age shaming is a brilliant way to support division and make people lie about their age (cannot blame them).
You might not know this, but I can tell you young people: you are going to be old one day, too.

No, age discrimination is not a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. First and foremost, the Fourteenth Amendment only applies to government action. Grindr is not a government-owned entity, so it is exempt. You may be thinking of the age-related provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, but those, too, would not apply, because they only apply to Employment and Public Accommodations. Neither of those apply in this case.

Normally, I wouldn't have responded, but that was just completely ridiculous.

This would be a violation of the spirit of Grindr's anti-discrimination policy. Age is a discrimination- protected status under the fourteenth amendment - what's more is the courts are liable to enforce removing such a filter under the TOS agreement- since the TOS doesn't define "discrimination" and the term is considered a "legal" term- meaning the courts will assume that the TOS incorporates the prevailing case law on the subject matter in absence of a clear and concise definition in the TOS contract.

You’d think this would be a good idea. I did initially. However, I’m on another site where a swipe to the left or right is required. About 90% of the mutual likes I get are from guys who have self selected me out of their preferred age range. So they’ve seen me, liked me on that basis regardless of age, and can write to me. But I can’t write to them. Your suggestion would work in one sense because I’d not see these guys in the first place. But there are lots of missed opportunities with this filter. I’ve suggested a swipe overrides pre selected filters as they clearly can’t filter out those users. Another story.

This is technically discrimination: *** , religion, ****** orientation, race, disability etc....
I d be careful implementing such a block

I’m with the younger guys not wanting to be message by older guys. Myself a older guy don’t want to be messaged by young guys

I hate when younger people message me and it states that I am wanting older men

It’s called the block button. If someone you don’t want to talk to messages you block them. Get over yourself.

Just put it clear on your profile. So people will know your mindset and profiling

Like the invisibility option that Grindr now offers, we should be able to make our profile invisible with a filter option for example, being able to make it visible to 18-40 years old profiles only.

Get over yourself and pay and get unlimited blocks
