Posted March 5, 2019 .... that if you have been following a gal on TOB for upwards of six years, and she has been using the same pictures all that time, when you actually meet she is going to be at least six years older than the photos indicate (actually, they were probably a few years old when I first saw them). .... that if someone hasn't changed their age, height, weight and body style in six or seven years of posting, none of it is probably accurate any more, and it probably isn't getting any better. What other gems of wisdom do you all have that seem to take a while to sink in? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 5, 2019 BB, being an older gent like yourself😁😁, I read some of these visual / picture posts with a grain of salt. I think we all, no matter where, want to project our best, he’ll my marketing pic at work that we use in RFP’s and RFQ’s is at least 6 years old. The potential client never has complained that I was out of date. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 5, 2019 Don’t forget the “cosmetics” and flattering angles used in produce & meat advertisements. If the 6years are 20-26 it makes more difference than if it’s 45-51. In mid-life we tend to age less visually. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 5, 2019 I have frequently marveled at the fact that some women remain 29 years old for 3, 4, even 5 years at a time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn’t your mother teach you to never ask a woman’s age? 🧐 Though I do agree that advertising material should be kept up to date, as should our (client) profiles. Do you go out and adjust yours every birthday? When you add a few pounds? Shave your beard? I know I’m careless about that.😒 Besides some of those 29 year olds don’t realize the market share they are losing because some of us think they’re not ripe yet, too young for picking😁 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amen to that, I know of one who's 43, be 44 this year, her teeth are falling out, turning black and she still adverts she's 30, only because 29 rolled over on her last birthday. Another that's perpetual 39, which is ok but still. I like P411's new field of Actual Age. I prefer 35+ as well and generally with exception of one I used to see regularly anyone under. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much younger can be a little on the green side, but every lady and encounter is different when lives finally touch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Less ripe than 29 the results can vary widely. Quality and consistency definitely improve with age from there. A banana I would take out of the store is not necessarily the one I want to eat right away. Aging to let the flavors develop is a good thing indeed. Ladies in their 30s-40s are awesome. I've also had some very sweet tastes of 50+. -1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 5, 2019 There are some people who are blessed with great genes who are timeless and there are others who are not so lucky....Age itself should never be a deciding issue but instead it should be the attractiveness of the person that caught your eye in the first place....Beauty and attractiveness of a person are not established by their age but comes from inside instead and is a quality that shines through at any age....Just saying.... 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I quite agree Barbi. After the first attraction and introduction there is a chance to find someone's beauty. Beauty is not an age or a measurement or a color. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 5, 2019 Indeed it is not....Nor does youth promise such things either.....and it certainly seems there is one thing that only comes with age and that is wisdom....the wisdom to see the world and those around you for what they truly are and in making such a discovery you find that it does not matter either.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 5, 2019 With so many choices broad strokes are needed to reduce the pool before refining my selection. Age is one of the criteria I use because I have found that I have more in common for post-coital discussions with YL closer to my age. Nothing particularly wrong with youngsters, but I have a higher probability of connecting with their older sisters. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very wise words! Everybody here have different preferences, including age, shape, etc. One of my preferences is the ability to establish an interesting conversation before, after, (or during ) Personally, I find it difficult to have an interesting conversation when the generation gap is too wide. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree. I'm partial to a bit more mature. Doesn't mean younger aren't great and a connection can't be made, but feel it just comes more naturally with someone closer in age 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 6, 2019 It's against the rules to say that the photos a provider uses are very much out of date? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 6, 2019 There is literally a place in the review process to note whether pictures are accurate so I don't think it's against the rules to point out when a provider is using photos that are not a true representation of them currently. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 6, 2019 Yeah, I've noticed the same thing... Or when a "Retired" lady come back, they use their old pics. The crows feet and smile lines are very prevalent. Not quite what you remember. Sometimes it's best to just remember them as they were. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
