What is it with these Men?

So many on the dating app I'm on start off with "Hello pretty." You don't address a mature women like she's a 17-year old girl. I actually think these types are scam artists. In fact, they must be because it's hard to believe genuine men over 50 would address a woman my age this way.

I delete every message like that or, "hello gorgeous, beautiful, honey," or any other adjective that is totally based on physicality. It automatically turns me off, and these men never get a response. Then men complain women don't respond to them, well maybe if they treated mature women like they are people and not some dumb teenage girl, they may get a response more often.

LOL I think you've just discovered an untapped business idea. A dating site coach offering communication skills/ideas for the socially inept.

I think these types are young men sitting in a third world country. They must be. What mature man talks to a mature woman like that?@Danez4u:

@Carissimi: I cannot imagine who would do that pretty lady 😉

@Carissimi: lol. You're probably right. Most likely foreign boys looking for someone desperate and unsuspecting to scam in someway or another

@Danez4u: Right. They all sound so similar, and I've had three like that since I wrote this post.
