What a hilarious thread!
We have had this discussion/debate/problem since day one - and just this weekend we were talking about it to another couple whose ages were completely mismatched with their looks.
They list their ages as younger - and the reason is they feel like they are off the radar of a lot of couples who would otherwise be interested. I kind of agree with this. Age - like weight - is a number that tells a very small part of the story. This couple in particular looks better than most couples in the lifestyle regardless of age...
My question - would you rather play with an incredibly attractive couple who doesn't look their age - or a less attractive couple just because the numbers add up?
That said - we tell the truth on our ad. We didn't at first, but Mrs Spoo wasn't comfortable with having to have it come up later. Everyone guesses her 15 years younger than she looks and we actually enjoy playing the game "guess her age" with folks - just to see the look on their faces when we tell them she'll turn 50 this year!
I - on the other hand - at 37 still get carded for beer now and then (most recently on my birthday!
)
The shame is - the ad site filters keep a lot of couples from having our ad pop up as possible - and if they have an age limit of 45, we don't contact them because we aren't going to presume that we "may be an exception". I think it kind of cheats them and us out of experiences...
