A lot of people overlook the community finder. Don't ignore it. It's actually very useful for finding FCs that actually care about being active and engaging with their members.
There's no need to list 18+ if you're not looking for that type of content.

Yes, I understand that wanting the company of other adults and not children is a consideration but it's not worth specifying. Common interests and meshing personalities are the important part of a social FC and those things aren't necessarily age specific. Would someone who is 22 feel comfortable in a FC filled with people who are 50+, or vice versa? Probably not yet they're all above the age of 18.

I've known 14-15 year olds that act like they're 30-40. I've also known 40 year olds that act like they're 10.

Putting 18+ in what's effectively an ad is going to attract the wrong type of attention so why do it unless you're looking for the things that tend to come with that label?
