I generally have no interest in younger people at all. I have nothing in common with the younger generation. However, sometimes I will send a younger person a message -- usually a compliment ‐- and I state that I am not hitting on them; rather I just want to comment on some aspect of their profile. Many young people are friendly and polite, but some are just horrible. I once sent a comment to a young man who was quite far away and told him I liked-- I think it was the same type of music he mentioned in his profile. Well, this guy went off on me and accused me of being a pedophile and worse. I don't like to block people, so I tried to reason with him and he just kept getting more and more accusatory and asked me how many young boys I'd raped! Mind you, he was in his early thirties! I finally had to block him.
I have also had guys who attacked me (there is no other word) without my even contacting them! They come out of nowhere and say things like, "You don't belong on this app, you're too old" and things to that effect. And I've even seen profiles that say, "no creepy old men over 30". Some of it is ridiculous.
I have no real problem with young people who only want to meet people their own age and I steer absolutely clear of anyone who says they have a preference for any age group that I don't belong to.
But I don't think this idea should be implemented unless you allow people to also block younger people too. I have had many, many young people approach me and very often I have told them that I'm not interested in them. Actually, most if them are bottoms and since I'm a bottom it would never work anyway. A lot of these young guys get very aggressive when I tell them I'm not interested.
Generally speaking, I prefer guys near my own age. But I find it ridiculous when guys over 40 or 50 say in their profile that they are only interested in guys under 25 (!) And even demand that all their sexual partners are also buff, handsome and slender. Especially when a lot of them are fifty pounds overweight, short, bald and ugly. It boggles the mind! I mean, if YOU wouldn't hook up with YOU, why should anyone else be interested?
