The issue I'm raising is "AGE". I have been consistenly complimented that I look 20 years younger than I am. This should be a plus for me. However, having my age VISIBLY ADVERTISED appears to be a diservice to me causing my profile to attrack only the men left in my age group interested in me and they all look terrible, while weeding out the younder men that would be otherwise attracted to me if my age wasn't advertised. Age is suppose to be just a number. But the truth is socitey discriminates against age. There should only be the consent that you acknowledge you're over 18 period. The age criteria should be left as a profile option. Giving me the opportunity to share that information after I've attracted someone. Interracial dating in itself has it's challenges, but obviously add age discrimination to the mix and it becomes more challenging. People of a certain age that look good should not be exploited because their age is posted for all to see. My point is, I'm not ashamed of my age but I quickly discoved it's weeding out a lot of potential interests. This impacts the older people, the young and beautfiul are oblivious to the age thing until they find themselves in the older age group ranks. I look very good for my age and I want a fair chance at attracting a nice looking person regardless of age (I hope you would agree, an asset should work for you not against you). I'm not trying to rock the cradle, but the men in my age group are not looking good at all. For this review I intentionally have not identified my age group so as not to offend anyone. But I'm stating what I have observed. Marketing and sales please take a minute to consider what I'm saying. For the service you're providing and the profit you're making please go back to the round table, elect some social dating behaviorist and work on addressing these issues with a goal of making this service a better experience for all your customers. I hope you won't just be satisfied with making a profit as a segment of your customer base are paying a membership while sitting on the sidelines feeling frustrated and left out. I am only one person, but I will to bet I represent many who may have the same concern about the age issue that I raise. I also suggest that you openly offer periodic surveys so people have an opportunity to give you their feedback on what's working and what isn't. In my opinion, you have only done just enough to attrack a membership base for the purpose of sales and profit. I hope that you would listen to the issues I've raised in order to sell your service in a way that allows all your customers to feel a sence of getting something for their money instead of feeling like this service is a waste of money. My final suggestion would be to program your code on your site in a way that the customer can query by age but, the age of the person doesn't have to appear in their profile unless they want it to. You've now solved the problem allowing people to query by age, while allowing a person's age to not not be in full view to everyone unless they want it to. If you would look at what you can do to improve on some of these issues I raise, it may serve to make your service a better experience for me and many of your customers who may agree with me. Thank you for the opportunity for this review.
