Q: Marriage agencies claim that age is not a factor for RW. Is this true?

As a general rule of thumb, the more you find yourself saying, "Man, I can't believe a beautiful, young woman like this wants to have anything to do with an old guy like me," well, as the saying goes, "If it's too good to be true then it probably is." Certainly a young woman is every man's fantasy and an agency is not about to turn down a sale to an older man who wants to meet a younger woman.

Any man over 35 years old who wishes to contact women under 25 years old should deal only with agencies that publish information stating the age ranges of men the women are interested in meeting (example: “I want to meet men from age 25 to 40). In fact, it is good advice for men of any age to deal only with agencies that provide this information. If this information is not given, then there is a very, very good chance that you are wasting your time and money by writing to women who simply aren’t interested in you because of your age. Given this information, if a man still chooses to go beyond the woman’s acceptable age range—which many often do—then it's his money and his decision. If a man can't read or chooses to ignore the facts, rest assured that no agency is going to point this out to him.

Any agency that claims that age is not a factor is full of crap and is simply lying to you in order to take your money. I have found that nearly all women will accept a man who is ten years older, and about half the women will accept men up to fifteen years older. Choosing to write to a woman who is more than fifteen years younger than yourself is probably a waste of time and money unless she specifically states that an older age is acceptable.
