Siryn's Song

Um, Ew?

I got an email from this guy off match.com that boggles my mind. He's 58. Stop right there. He's almost twice my age, literally. *shudder* He sounds like a nice man, but dude... you're older than my father. AND you're divorced? That just ain't happening! And what skeeves me out even more? He's looking for women 18-35. Dirty Old Man alert! Dating really sucks.

  • Hiya!
    I *hate* match.com and eharmony.

    If the new hot, interesting, intelligent flame of mine is the norm go directly to salon.com personals.

    Cheaper. Smarter. Better.

  • As a divorcee myself, I don't have a problem with that aspect, but the guy needs to be a TAD more realistic about the age of the women that will wanna date him. "Ew" is right!

  • maybe he was hoping that really you weren't the age you posted.

    still seems a little optimistic though

    but optimism isn't the worst thing to find in a suitor

    (of course if he is thinking you aren't the age you posted, I suppose you have to be concerned he might actaully be in his 70s :-P )

  • Yes, the age difference is a bit much but just because A GUY is divorced does not make him not worth considering. Hell, I might wonder why you haven’t been married yet?

  • Being divorced doesn't make someone a bad person but it raises a few questions in my head. I'll leave it at that.

    I was more skeeved out by the fact that he's older than my father and only trolling for 18-35 year old women. Being divorced on top of all that didn't help. At his age, however, I'm not surprised that he's been married.

  • At his age, I would HOPE that he'd have been married before.

    Some divorced people can bring with them a lot of emotional baggage, e.g. some have the necessity for an on-going, difficult, and stressful relationship with their ex b/c of kids, etc. But not all of us who are divorced are bad news bears. My marriage just didn't work out, no big bombshells, and we wouldn't have been living our lives to the fullest if we had stayed together. Neither of us are bad people and, actually, whomever my ex ends up with in the future is a very lucky woman...
