I guess this one is aimed mainly at the women here...

I’ve noticed a few posts about ‘pervy 50’ blokes on the forums so I thought I’d find out what age difference people think is acceptable (obviously anyone my age sending pervy messages to a girl less than half their age would be regarded as a ‘pervy 50’).

But I must admit that most of the profiles I’ve seen on Flirtbox that appeal to me are women around 36 (incidentally, although perhaps not relevant, my last girlfriend was 38, the one before that 52, and a couple of FWB's the past year between 36 - 38, but women I'd known for a while).

Do women here think it is acceptable for a 49 yo male to contact a 36 – 38 woman without assuming the bloke is a perv – or even just ‘too old’? (Obviously ‘normal’ contact, not sexually suggestive messages).

Have to say, I didn't realise from your pic you were 49 (and 6'ft 5"?!!! )

Personally, i can't see what's wrong with someone your age contacting someone in her early 30's, let alone late. Unfortunately, not everyone thinks the same.

Nor is there anything wrong in older guys being flirty with females a good bit younger, especially online! In here particulary (FLIRTbox!),, I find it odd that anyone should be labelling anyone 'pervy'.

Hmm, I'll have a think about it

You should see some of the other photos of me, they are not as flattering lol. But yeh, I've aged quite well considering I never took care of myself. One of the photos I was going to upload to my profile is 10 years old, and I looked older then than I do now. Strange.

There is a differance between a 50 year old saying "Hi, really liked your profile. Would you mind if we chatted?" and "Hi babe/hun/chick, I really like your tits. Want to talk dirty with me?".

I've had a couple of nice conversations with blokes more than double my age (I'm a baby at eighteen), but made it clear from the start that I'm not interested in taking things further with them in a romantic way.


As said before, you've got nothing to loose. Women generally prefer older blokes anyway!

A x

well startingover if it makes you feel better i might be younger than you and I rarely get contacted. Today happens to be an exception... so everyone gets lucky every now and then...

always a pleasure lol

Strangely enough, in a real life situation I have no problem flirting or chatting to women in the age group I mentioned. Although I have to be honest, most of the time it is they who initiate the contact (Gawd, the Plymouth to London train......)

The age thing has only been on my mind since I started browsing the forums here since I joined a couple of days ago, there are quite a few posts buried away about 'pervy 50's'.

age doesnt really bother me, and i know theres a lot of people who feel the same way..

hi and welcome to the site

Most people on here know my thoughts on this subject...so I'd better not comment.

As for younger men... I limit myself on that score. 30 or under... unlikely. Exceptions sometimes happen. Under 25 though... absolutely not.

Aww now... come on you lot! Thats a cop out. (Jeggea, wookie and elitious) Make your opinions known Your not normally so shy Well 2 of you are'nt anyway... so come on.. spill your guts.
