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.

Honestly they are just letting you know that they are interested in you and for you to look them over and see if you like them as well. They are paying a compliment. If they say something lude or crude than that's a different story.

@Carissimi: understandable. But just hear out what everyone is saying.

@abe182: They don't say much. I need a thinking man. One with brain cells and maturity.

@Carissimi: I use POF and tinder. I don't see the guys side but from what I've heard they are crude and straight forward about what they want. I'm just saying you may be passing over decent men who are just timid. Best of luck.

@abe182: Abe, I don't wish to seem harsh, but if a man is timid, he's not for me. I'm attracted to confident men. Confidence and compassion. Strength and kindness. Rugged and sweet. Sexy and with a pure heart. Mysterious and yet open and honest. Oh, this needs to go on my profile. ☺️
