I didn't say they had to be rich, just willing to be cash flow machines. After all pensioners have a regular income and a place to stay.

Possibly he suffers severe self esteem problems, so acts weird around his own age group and hits on oldies knowing they will take anything not wrinkly.

neither of these either.

He had his own job/good money.

No low self esteem at all.

Was just merely pointing out how you shouldnt take offence at other peoples choices. He didnt act weird around us.
Just a nice very good looking guy who is into very old.

What do you mean? You said yourself he ran away from any lookers who showed interest.

I think you are just making up stuff now to win the argument

People aren't there to date shrubs... I mean a lot of people are obviously there looking for roots but that's besides the point....

Love the new Profile Pic Doolander! You seem very deep in thought there.

Haha not deep in thought, I was frustrated at the fact that I went to work wearing a maroon sweater on origin day!
I'm a blues supporter and didn't even realise what I'd done till midway thru the day! Haha

A few Do's and Don'ts!

He doesn't have to. A polite "you are not the type of guy I'm looking for" would do the trick. No need to bring race into it at all. :-)

Do you walk up to every guy in a nightclub that you're not attracted to and say "no thanks, you're not the type of guy I'm looking for"

I doubt it.

It's just more efficient to cancel out who you have no interest in.... I don't think that's rude at all.

I agree, I put my preferences in, but I don't block someone because of their race, it is usually just the age, and I know that people on their make friends, but who are we kidding alot of them are on their for a different reason

you must have loved it in the City where it would have been telling you closest guy was 500m away as opposed to
100km when you are out on the farm

omg have you just aged considerably?

So if efficiency is more important than civility and thoughtfulness, then why don't ppl just wear "No Femmes" "No Asians" teeshirts or tags or signs at clubs as well then?

Don't take it out of context....
If someone walks up to you and hits on you, by all means, be polite.
But if I walk into a room... look around and decide there is no one there that strikes any interest to me, do I then need to go and strike up a conversation with each of them prior to leaving the room? No. I'll just walk out.

It's the same thing I guess with people blocking others on Grindr, they're not being rude by blocking them before any interaction takes place.

What you're talking about is PC and civility gone mad!

Yes, treat others as you would like to be treated....

But don't feel the need to go out of your way to make everyone feel included....

My bet, is if someone blocks you before any conversation has started you wouldn't even be aware of it right? So what's the problem?

Why would I walk up to every guy in a nightclub? If I happen to get hit on by a guy in a club, who I'm not interested in sexually, yes, I just tell them to their face, in a civil, polite and respectful manner. Because just as I am a human, so are they ultimately.

The point is, until someone would message you on grindr (walk up to you in a room) then it can't be rude to block them (walk out of the room)

Can't argue with that logic...

The thing is guys on Grindr and in clubs think that being polite means you want to fuck

Because 9 times out of 10 that is the case. If you say you're not interested, all of a sudden they were "just being friendly." But if you continue to chat instead of saying you're not interested, and try to perpetuate friendly conversation, low-and-behold they try to turn things sexual.

That's just what has happened to me, my opinion, etc.

so glad i dont have grindr, gaydar, squirt, manhunt, etc etc etc

(have done so in th past but got rid of them all ages ago - cept grindr - never had it cos i got an old peoples fone that only rings and texts )

call me old fashioned - or just old - but i prefer to meet ppl face to face

and as has been mentioned elsewhere in other threads, th connection i get with ppl isnt based on looks, ethnicity, etc but rather an intangible chemistry - an x factor thats hard to describe - but u both know its there when its there

and for me, nothing is more attractive than a delicately balanced confidence with humility

I couldn't agree more Sneakos. It's not about 'type' it's about how you connect with the person. I find more and more a lot of gay guys (and I would say straight and bi as well) are becoming too focused on the person having to be a 'type' and aren't interested in someone being an 'individual'.

Oops didn't realize you were commenting on a specific comment. My bad, Doolander.

Anyway, it seems like a lot of people are trying to justify being shallow and arrogant to me.

Any consideration to treat others with mutual respect and kindness is PC and civility GONE MAD!

Being nice and thoughtful to others is increasingly frowned upon and is uncool nowadays but being bitchy, self centred and arrogant is the IN thing!

I a, neither bitchy nor self-centred, the arrogance depends on how much I've had to drink...
