i have been on here over 3 weeks. i am 52 and have two children 10 and 21. Most of the men that have written me back and that has only been a couple all say they are involved with someone yet they are still on the site. I don’t understand and also don’t understand why men are looking for these “perfect women”. i am not athletic yet every man seems to look for that. Do i have a chance or is this a waste of time.

In nreference to the comment about age. I’ve seen a lot of comments from men in their profiles about women not being honest about their age but women in their mid and late fifties almost have to in order to keep from having to settle for being some old guy’s caregiver. I did and experiment where I put my age at 52 and I got 3 times the hits as when I put it at 55 and 57. (Can’t help it, I’m a social scientist at heart)
How does an older but still very active woman compete on the Jdate scene?

A guy is most likely going to contact a younger woman no matter what his age is. You might have answered your own question. You said, “Personally, I would prefer someone my own age.” If I guy was asked that question, he would say, “Personally, I would prefer someone ten years younger.” Thats just the way guys think. Yes, there are couples where the woman is older, but they are far more rare than the norm.

Many people on the site still do not post photos. I consider that a red flag. Are they hiding something? Are they married looking for an affair. Are then not exactly what they say they are in their essays? Are they cheating on their girlfriend? Hey, if a guy contacts a woman stricly on looks, then it is only fair that he posts a few accurate and current photos of himself.

I do not understand:

Why do some people not post photos?

I am 56, why do the majority of guys my age seek 35-45? or 40-50?

Personally, I would prefer someone very close to my age.
Instead, I am contacted by 63-74 year olds, many of whom are leading sedate lives which would never coincide with my active one.

I appreciate your advice. Thank you.

They are listed in the upper left corner of the site under Travel and Events. They have had trips to Mexico, Puerto Rico, etc. I have had several friends meet people on these trips. In fact, one of my best friends met his wife on the P.R. trip in 12/07
