A homeless 37-year-old who was banned from a Starbucks for asking a barista, 16, on a date has admitted lying about his age on dating sites to try and meet young girls.

Lucas Werner, who stays in a homeless shelter in Spokane, Washington, ranted that he was sick of 'ageist Millennials' but that 'I won't stop until I'm dating a women born in the 1990s as of 2016.'

'Women born in the 1990s are the most gorgeous women on Earth,' he explained in a lengthy Facebook post.

Werner, who says he he hasn't had a girlfriend for five years, wrote that he goes on dating websites where he would lie about his age to try and speak to girls aged between 18 and 22, but admitted it 'will eventually catch up to you.'

Despite multiple rejections, he refuses to date anyone over the age of 25, and has posted obsessively about trying to date young women.

'I've never dated younger women. I want to try that,' he explained.

'The youngest women. There's nothing wrong with that.'

Werner was banned from a Spokane Starbucks after making advances towards the teenager - who is less than half his age.

He then accused the girl and Starbucks of ageism, adding that he had just asked her to dinner and 'didn't even show her the Washington state age of consent link.'

'I was flirted with by a barista. For some reason she thought I was funny. Said I was funny. So I gave her a note to see if she'd be interested in dinner', the man wrote in a public Facebook post that has since gone viral.

He said he returned to the Starbucks the following day and a Spokane police officer told him he was banned from the location.

Spokane police said businesses are allowed to refuse service to anyone who is causing trouble or being disruptive for as long as they see fit.

So, Starbucks was legally allowed to ban the man from that location. But he says he's being discriminated against because of his age.

Many people took to the store's Facebook page to praise the store for barring the man

'I know the female Starbucks barista was of legal age to date. I broke no laws. I merely took a chance with my heart. I'm tired of hearing the word "creep" as any black person or gay person is tired of hearing certain words. I have a whole webpage dedicated to age gap love', he wrote.

He asked people on Facebook to contact Starbucks and complain, but his call-to-action was met with some opposition.
