My mom would sooooo kick my ass. I'm ducking just thinking about it. Mine is smaller than me so... Mine is way smaller than me, too. But she's mean as all hell when she's mad.

Older woman (much older) - younger man (by decades) is disturbing. IMO
I guess I can see that. It's sort of sexist, but I guess I can see. Maybe I'd be a little worried that he's looking for a home also - and that your home might be the one he lands in. Now you have 2 of them to drive you crazy.
I wasn't thinking about marriage. Just companionship. Her BF was perfect for her. And she misses it.

Sweetie, you lost it when you put your mom online. At least use a site with more class, like Our Time, which caters just to those fifty and older. Craigslist is not the place for a nice, older Russian lady. It's a relationship rathole, the wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am of the Internet. 'wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am of the Internet'? And HOW do you know THAT honey? Archie told me so.....

In that case, a job at the nearest senior center would fulfill that need. And hey...she might meet someone there, too. Might even be the same guy.

How long ago did her boyfriend pass? She may still be grieving and need more time before she starts looking.
As far as the age difference, I do think it is odd that someone so much younger would be actively seeking a partner her age. I am significantly older than DH, but it was a case of us being attracted to each other as individuals in spite of the age difference, rather than actively seeking someone with an age difference. I would watch for a potential con.
Craigslist is too risky these days for you to expose your mom there. I have an acquaintance that met her husband on Craigslist, but she took her life in her hands every time she met a strange man at a hotel room.

"Nope. This guy doesn't look like a good match for me. We have nothing in common. Plus? He's a Democrat. WAIT!! Look at that!! I've changed my mind."
Does this really happen? Are there women out there who would go out with a man because of a picture of his....you know?

I'd try something a little more upscale than Craigslist. Guys who reply within an hour of seeing the post are probably desperate. And I'll bet the guy who claims to be 71 is really 81. Hey now! I met my husband on Craigslist!

WHAAAAT? Nans, you losing it...baby. Sweetie, you lost it when you put your mom online. At least use a site with more class, like Our Time, which caters just to those fifty and older. Craigslist is not the place for a nice, older Russian lady. It's a relationship rathole, the wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am of the Internet. You know, some people have found their spouse there!

I don't know. Maybe he's telling the truth and he's just had it with younger women and maybe thinks older women are more stable and situated. I like older men for those same reasons. No reason a man can't feel the same way.
Are you all just playing with me? No one is shocked by 55 y/old man wanted 71 y/old woman No one? And that 55 y/old is extremely handsome too! He is apparently looking for a wallet.

I met my husband on Craigslist! I met one of my best friends on Craigslist, but I think the quality has gone down a bit in the past few years. I don't even trust the rental listings on there.

Out of morbid curiosity, I just looked at the M4W section of Craigslist for my area. (I am glad my SO doesn't snoop). The headlines include such charming titles as the following: Large breast Tip top meats, I know you are looking hi ladies i dare u to txt me if u r real
What happened Craig? I used to love your list.

As a 71 y/o lady, if my son ever did this to me, it would result in the last breath he ever took.
Without a doubt, this is is sleaziest most disgusting thing I've heard of in a long time. You should be ashamed of yourself Loonya!!!

Are any sites looking for a date "upscale"? This isn't being snooty. I have no experience with them and wouldn't know trash from class when it comes to them. Back when DS was still casting around for a wife-type, I was talking with a friend who said that quite a few of the younger people in his church got happy matches through e-Harmony.com. Even though there are sites for Christian singles, he felt that e-Harmony had such a huge base and matched people so well that it was better than the specialized sites.
DS eventually found a really nice wife the old-fashioned way.

Tell her to take her car to the car wash. I had a dude hitting on me today while I waited for them to finish my car. He actually asked me if I was looking for a man I told him no that I had a fine boy toy waiting for me at home. The person sitting within earshot of this almost fell off her chair laughing.

You should be ashamed of yourself Loonya!!! If mine ever did it I would know that he had moved to Australia and posted from there so I couldn't get to him in a timely manner. But he would be forever looking over his shoulder ETA: should have edited over the 71 y/o but I'll just back up a year if that ok with everyone!!!!

Tloony, aren't you near Philly? I would guess the above is a scam used to get money from women on Craigslist.
Giving Craigslist near Philly a trial?

I have some friends that like the pics but generally just after they have met the guy in person. I have had a few flashed in front of me on friend's phones.

Not kidding. If you're ever bored, browse the "casual encounters" category. Just don't do it on a work computer.
