Do you find older people messaging you creepy?

For me it depends on the message of someone, not of the age of that person, cause the message including sometimes weird stuff. Or creepy.

I think it waters down to tone :3

Well i stopped coming onto this website because no one was writing me like ever so theres that xD

I find it strange, Wenn elder people are looking for teenagers as friends, I actually can. T understand that. The Back Situation is more clear (Wenn teenagers want to get elder friends) 🙂

Never contacted young people. For me it's the contrary. Many youth contact me because they see the comic in my photo profile and they think i'm young too. I don't consider you creepy, but only a little hasty, because you should spend more time reading better the profiles.

i find it the opposite..younger people contacting me..i find that creepy..what they after ?? i say A VERY LARGE NO THANKS

There are good people and bad people, age doesn't matter. I was a friendly gentleman at 18 y.o., I'm a friendly gentleman now. It's simple.

for me,after 23 is very creepy,23 is already too much but i understand that some 23 years old people think it's fine to write to a 15 year old girl. i don't like to talk to people after 19-20-21

i don't understand why older people want to be friends with teens,like get a life bro

It depends on how old they are. Like 10 to 20 seems normal, 21 to 25 is ok but over that sorry I'm not up for adoption so pls leave me alone.

many people over 25 messaged me (I’m 14) and that *is* creepy. solution? just block them. that’s what I did, and I chat only with people my age.
long story short, there many creepy people out there but you can avoid the creepiness easily (:

Age doesn't bother me. A message can be creepy coming from anyone of any age, just depends on the content of the message. I have friends of all ages. I think it would be creepy for someone in their 30s or 40s to contact someone who is like...14 or so, though.

If you are a teenager - block them. Adults have no interest in dm’ing teenagers they don’t know. I have cousins much younger than me and I love them, they are smart, interesting people. I love having family time with them, even 1:1 like with a friend, but there is a huge imbalance in experience and brain development. I will take their problems on me but I will not burden them with my problems. That’s why I’m not friends with teenagers that are not my family. It’s easy to cross boundaries and you need to be careful. You can be mature for your age but this power imbalance is just creepy. Public chat, forums etc - that’s fine. But adult dm’ing teenager without a very good reason is a red flag. Run. It changes with age. Older you get the bigger age gap is ok. And you can have lovely conversations with adults. Both sides have a unique perspective. That’s alright. But dm’s are just alarmingly. And general advice, as someone who has been taken advantage by older person as a teenager: if someone creeps you out - trust your gut. No matter what age they are. Not all people are creeps, not all have bad intentions, but better be safe than sorry. And if anyone takes this personally and be mad - that is just a confirmation that you made the right choice.

And I have been “friends” with 40yo woman as a 18yo girl. We’ve met on dance camp for adults, had lot of common interests and we’ve met for a coffee couple of times. There were a lot of older sister/aunt vibes and I have felt very safe. So obviously not all of those situations are creepy. But 30yo dming 14yo on penpal-gate: that’s creepy. It’s all about context, be safe 🙂

Well, I agree that anyone could send a creepy message. I've had to block even someone my age. And when men over 40 write to me, I end up blocking them. If they were acting normal, I still wouldn't feel comfortable talking to someone who is old enough to be my father or grandfather lol. I don't trust their intentions.

I think only minors should have access to other minors. An adult reaching for minors it's completely inappropriate.

Today a 21 yo man wrote to me weird things…not sexual,another type of things..he was so weird…i blocked him he probably has some mental illness
