Thank you Ravynx for giving us that insight into your experience on here I think it's important that we listen to both sides respect should come from everybody...it's a two way street. It gets very tiring and frustrating to listen to introduction that are crude and carelessly worded....and it does create a knee jerk reaction which can snowball out of control. I'm glad your experience didn't put you off the forums.

Don't you think that is quite ironic for the thread that you posted this in?

I don't necessarily think that us older ladies are the only prey for web cam/sex chat titalation....I think on most dating sites you will always have the cyber sex hunters, who have no intention of any kind of relationship other than with their cam. You also get the notch hunters on most sites....however I think the difference with a site like this ow/ym is that a lot...not all of the younger guys think because we are older we are also desperate/grateful for any interaction with a younger guy....thats their first mistake! We are older, wiser, more confident, independant financially and emotionally and very capable of spotting quite quickly someone on the make.

Yep, you put it very well here too. To add to that I believe it's also the media's fault for portraying older women as desperate and eager to jump any guy in their 20's which leads a lot of guys here thinking they can pick anyone up by spurting anything out. It's not all of their blame but it's a good portion of it. There will always be "those guys" out there on these sites and you just have to shrug them off of just don't pay any attention to them.

Ravynx, there was a reason Lynda posted what she did on here, as they ca see the blogs but not comment on them anymore. As for your above comment you are so right, DAMN the media for portraying us as willing to jump on anything with 2 legs that are young. Unfortunately for "us" ladies on here we are trying to make their misconception of us a positive experience. Show them that we are way more than what the media says we are. I think it all falls on deaf ears though. We are human beings that just happen to prefer younger men, period. There is no hidden agenda for us we are NOT desperate, horny older women looking to snag a young "cub" nor are we going to hunt or chase them down. (just saying)

I believe this is directed towards me and my comment on your fwb's relationship. I never said I disapproved of your relationship I said something to the likes of just as a tip you might not want to keep mentioning it because it turns some women off and I would be one of them. FWB are great when and if you have one and you're into having one, but talking about having one on a dating website tends to discourage others from being interested in you. hmmm well at least it keeps the guys away except for asking for sex if a woman talks about her FWB but then again it could be that good old double standard rearing it's ugly head...

I'm brand-new and I've already seen posts that make me cringe. If I was woman, these posts would be a supply of laughter. I know why I'm here. I'm here to get some advice and I'm willing to dispense advice. I hope that I make some friends along the way,too.

Hopeful Cubs, (Those who wish to have a relationship with an older woman.)

You need to ask yourself why.

Why are you here?

Stories your friends told you? (Likely false)
Movies or tv shows you've watched?
Conquest?

These are real people, not characters. It shouldn't be difficult to show some kindness and respect. Be polite and others will be polite to you. You know how to treat a lady,right? Of course you do..well,I hope you do. Because if you don't, then you have no chance with an older woman.
