A lot of my writing documents events in my life, and this has been going on recently, so I wrote about it.

I find it pretty bizarre, frankly.

I should post a picture of him, but I would need to get his permission. But you're right, that would give a different perspective.

To be fair to my friend, he posted his real age on his profile. He targeted women who were 10 years younger to 5 years older than his own age. However, he also said he was just getting out of a relationship and was mostly looking for sex unless he made a real connection.

He got few responses from women who were age appropriate and apparently many women who were in their 30s were reaching out to him.

I decided to write about it because it shocked me. But I also found it interesting. Is there a reason so many younger women are seeking older men? Is it the bad economy? Or do a lot of young women have emotional issues? To be honest, I think that is the reason they wanted their photos to be displayed - they want attention.

When I was in my 30s, I was already married, but if I had been single - I would never have dated a man my father's age. More recently, after my divorce, I had a couple of men who were much younger pursue me and I gently turned them down. So

I don't really get my friend's behavior... and I have lost some respect for him.

But, as he has pointed out - they are all adults aged 30 and above.
