ok enough looks like I am in trouble lol
Why would the new laws apply here?? It's supposed to be for fun and by saying that people HAVE to swing with people that are younger/older than they prefer then it would cease to be fun wouldn't it??
I have my preferences and I state them in our ad's.... I will not swing with anyone I dont want to and it is very very rare that I consider anyone that doesn't fit the criteria I specify...

Now with the new age discrimination, if anybody advertises and puts certain age group in are they breaking the law??? I must admit I am well into my 50s and hate it when I see certain age groups. How will they feel when they get to a certyain age and find that couples/singles are not looking for their age.

Bri- Hi and welcome to the forums wave
Do you suggest that I should meet/shag people who do nothing for me so that I don't hurt their feelings?
BTW- I have an "intimate friend" in the same age group as yourself. However, I absolutely reserve the right to exclude or include people according to whatever does/does not turn me on.

So you expect people to shag you just because you're in your fifties? confused Maybe gay men are disappointed when they see that some men seek women - are you saying that all men should be bi or gay too? How might they feel if some men are straight?
People can advertise for whatever they want on here, as long as it's legal.
of cause they are not breaking the law......what next discrimination against ugly people...if you don't shag them your breaking the law! rolleyes
well when I get to 50 I probaly wouldnt want to play with some 18 year old anyway, people have their own prefernces about who they want to play with and as long as they arnt mean or rude when advertising then I cant see the problem
OMG 5 people posted in the time it took me type mine, I must be getting slower

Bloody well hope so! wink
Im sure you realise that its employment legislation and we re not quite in a police state yet!
Or are you just getting confused in your old age?
biggrin
Look people may well be confused as to what the law actually applies too and this could be a genuine thread???????????????
As its to do with employment law only then of course it does not apply to sites like this ....................................................yet....................................don't laugh ..............................it could happen ................................ you think about smoking and being banned in public places - 10 years ago would you have believed it ?????? I wouldnt have :shock: :shock: :shock:
Now as for age discrimaination in the work place - young and old - I am really pleased that the law has changed although I still think it will be another 10 years before it really makes a difference.

I don't think anyone so far has doubted whether it's a genuine thread - I don't think the responses were unreasonable.

Well you may not like seeing that you are too old for some people, when they put the age range they prefer in their ads - but the alternative is they don't put that you are too old and you waste your time replying to people who have no intention of meeting someone your age.
Ignorance may well be bliss but it can also be a complete waste of time!

Yes but there's a difference between forcing someone not to do something and forcing someone to do somethine, so the above will never happen.
oops

I may have missed something here but I think the legislation is only relevant when we want to EMPLOY someone to ... well, whatever.
I'm not paying.
Are you paying?
Then forget it.

Oooohhhhh, made me wonder...Can escorts now refuse to 'escort' toldies. I knew an escort who refused to meet anyone over the age of 60 incase they 'pegged out' on here..........If they are paying, does she have to meet them now???
Wow! That is an interesting one, really. I bet they never thought that of that.
Think I'll email Radio4. They're really hot on this stuff.

an 'escort' is paid by the hour and free to choose what happens within that time period......

Yes, and anyway, I would imagine that most escorts are notemployed by the client, but either employed by an agency or self-employed. Or engaged on an entirely unofficial basis.
