Age/looks not important

I've done a search and can't see that this has been done before so apologies if it has.
So when someone approaches you for a meet and you read their profile, would it put you off if you read something along the lines of age/looks not important?
Call me shallow (ok, I know i'm asking for it there!) but surely looks and age DO come into it to a certain degree.
Age, because I/we don't want to be having sex with someone the same age as my dad and looks because, well, if there isn't physical attraction then why would you have sex with someone? Unless you've taken the time to get to know them? Which on a swingers site, usually comes after a meet, not before.
We've had several messages on here and other sites where the profile stated age/looks not important and if i'm honest, my first thought was taking massive offence to it! Especially on the other site, where we don't have many pictures, so how would you know if you wanted to fuck me/us?! We've never met, never spoken..... why would you want sex with me/us.
I want to feel attractive to someone I have sex with, not like any hole's a goal.
Am I just overly sensitive? lol

I think sometimes people might put that, meaning that age/looks are not the only things that matter. They might be lower down on the list of priorities - say if you only wanted a man with a 12", thick cock :shock: In other words, as long as they get the primary criterion correct, the others aren't as significant.
Although I don't doubt that there are people out there who will fuck anything that doesn't get out of the way quick enough :giggle:
I wouldn't say you're over sensitive, but maybe you should avoid the people who type age/looks unimportant in their profile!
Yep, it's a funny one that phrase.
I can see why people think they should say it - on the one hand it is inclusive and non-discriminatory etc etc but on the other hand it does feel a bit 'well I just want a shag so I don't care who they are' too.
Not sure it would put me off someone, but it might help tip the balance towards a no in combination with other factors. wink
Only profiles with age/looks unimportant on them are willing to meet me anyway :lol2:
I agree with the others above - and you just can't believe anyone who uses that phrase really means it, can you.

I wouldn't expect things to be in a profile if they're not meant dunno Maybe i'm just naive?

Not only do I not doubt it I think they are the most successful among us for obvious reasons, swinging wise that is.

Search is for want or laziness of a better word FUCKED. Search for "munch" in the lets meet up forum and according to that there has not been one since 2006-7. As a matter of fact according to SEARCH nothing much has happened on the site since 2006-7 lol Admin were aware of this and looking into it ......... about 3 months ago :doh:

I highlighted usually because everyone is different. Everybody swings differently.

I wouldn't respond to an advert that used that line. It would automatically put me off a profile also. Not really sure why other than it screams desperate somehow. Age also matters to me. I don't want to fuck someone I could have given birth to and likewise I don't want to fuck someone old enough to be my dad.
I don't necessary think that looks are the first and most important thing for me... if someone gets me mentally and vice versa then that's way more important. There obviously needs to be a spark but for me that comes with getting to know someone. I never did -meets so I've never had to worry about the getting to know afterwards, I've always done that first.

guessed that, and when saying we tend to, there have been times when we didn't have a clue who someone was but it felt right at the time lol it was just easier to underline and bold then type it out... lazy moment
Of course age looks are important, if it wasn’t they’d be queuing outside my door day and night ....
Don't get me wrong, we've met people who we had only got to know through e mail, MSN and phone. We only saw face pics towards the end and by then it really didn't matter as there was a huge connection mentally.
Same with *Him* as we met online many moons ago. I actually thought he was an old man in the beginning! lol I'd fallen for him long before I saw a picture of him, just through our chats in the chatroom. I think that's why we work so well now. It was never about a physical connection for us (although we do have that) but we'd connected mentally first.
What i'm trying to get at though is the e mails saying "I wanna fuck you tonight" when we've never conversed or even swapped pics. That I find offensive.
I don't think i'm explaining myself very well.
*Her*
Now, my opinion is very different to Kaz and I did have this discussion with someone in the chatroom the other day.
I am here for sex. If I am looking for a meet then I have to find the person/people physically attractive. When I am just looking for a meet then I dont need to get to know a person's personality, I am not looking to form a reationship. Sex is a physical thing!!
Yes I am shallow!!
Now there are some people who I have got to know and class as friends. Some of these people I may not initially find attractive but when I get to know them I find their personalities attractive and then yes I would play with them.
For me, the age/looks not important thing is a bit put off. It gives the impression that a shag is a shag and it doesnt matter who it's with.
pmsl Kaz. I'm even more shallow when I'm in a shag for shag's sake mood. I have to find someone attractive. If I know them and am attractive to their personality then looks are not as important.

I do think you are explaing youself well hun. I know what you mean. I suppose for me I have two types of swinging.
The club anonymous sex kind of thing. I also like having sex with people I know and have fun with and when there is months of flirting.
I can't remember the last time I asked someone would they like me to fuck them tonight (well i can but said person knew I was being me). To me nowadays I tend to play with people after socials. That works.
If I want sex more regularly than that I go to a club. Would I fuck anyone in my old days yes probably. Nowadays I am a LOT more selective - from the sites pov.
If I was to meet someone from a site it would have to be someone I mentally was flirting with. I really couldnt do an anoymous play. Also nowadays I tend to find I play with people in a similar age group to me. That is not saying I am exclusively looking for that but recently I have been focusing on that.

Hello! wave
If you want to fuck someone, look at him/her, if it works for you, go and do it. If you want to settle down with someone, talk to him/her, if you can't get on, it won't go the distance.
The simple answer is yes, that does put us off, smacks too much of desperation and "any sex is good sex" so we would avoid people with such things on thier profiles, but that is more about the looks than the age.
The age we understand and that is part of the "selectivness to looks". We have to find those we are playing with somewhat attractive to us, it is not the be all and end all since it will be personality that wins through everytime we play but the looks do come into consideration in a big way.
We don't like supermodels with designer hairstyles, we aren't looking for the perfect 10 but we do have to find swing partners attractive to us.
Age for us is therefore imaterial, for Jed anyone older than himself is usually dead anyway, for Sasha age is a number, we don't go to clubs, spot someone we find attractive and immediately ask them thier age in case they are of that certain "too old" or "too young" status.
Someone young enough to be my daughter when I play, I can assure you that the last thing on my mind when I am having sex is my daughters, freud might think there were latent incestive thoughts in the back of my mind were this the case !!! besides my girlfriend is much younger than my daughters wink
Too old for us, if we find someone attractive we find them attractive, it is as simple as that, old enough to be a son/daughter/father/mother does not make them feel any less attractive to us.
Like others on here I have always been pleased with the fact that the women that have chosen to play with me during the 10 years I have been a swinger have obviously done so because of my personality and not my super six pack (cos I don't have one) not my super boyish looks (cos I am an average old git) not because of my extra large willy (because I don't have one) ok I do have a willy but it's not extra large it's average like the rest of me.
True most people are attracted to me because they see Sasha first, great, no problems with that because those that then decide I am acceptable to thier tastes too do so because they think I am fun to be with, considerate, respectfull and can forgive my bad sense of humour and bad jokes.
We did once put this in an advert but it wasnt that we was desperate, it was my very poor way of saying you dont have to be a supermodel or superhunk as it is the whole package that is important (ie feel comfortable with the person, find them attractive and find them sexy). I was also because I do not have a specific look that I go for, and what I find attractive others may find very unattractive.
So although I would never use this now, I can understand that some people put it on meaning that it is not a specific look or age that matters, but is more down to finding the right person (does that make sense or am I waffling again).
It makes sense to me.
When I saw this title I got so excited - then I read the thread and got so depressed.
Plim :sad: :sad: :sad:

Thank you, I am so glad someone understands my waffle lol
We think that looks are important. Certainly not at the top of the list but what we do here is based mainly around the physical asspect. In reality if you do meet someone from the site how do you know they are being themselves anyway? Alot of the time people seem to try and tell you what they think you want to hear anyway!
Of course we do meet people in our travels and as we get to know people in person the importance of looks slips further and further down the list.
We can see where some people are going with putting that on the adds/profile trying to re-assure others that they will not be judged but it does come across as I/We will shag anyone and we're just nor into that, it kinda cheapens the experience.
Age on the other hand doesn't seem to bother us within reason. Can't really say we gave a fixed idea on age we just decide as we speak/meet people.
That's our 2p's worth anyway lol
