It happens less now that I'm with my SO and we are usually together in most social situations, but it still happens.
Most guys won't believe I am 38 until I show them my driver's license.
I especially find it amusing when the Millennial Hipsters hit on me during laundry day. Sorry buddy, I'm not dressed like this for a fashion statement, I'm dressed like this because I'm out of decent clothes to wear.
I'm a professor and my students are all 20 or more years younger than me. I get asked out by my male students regularly and am not even remotely tempted. I always just show them my wedding ring and say matter-of-factly, "I'm married, not interested." The manner I say it (I've practiced this) makes it crystal clear I'm not going to pursue it.
I'm not saying I don't find some of the students very attractive, but I am not attracted to them. I have a student now who looks strikingly like very young Tom Cruise. I admire his looks but that's it.
Am I flattered? Not really, I don't think of it either way. If no student ever propositioned me again it wouldn't put a dent in my self-image.
Being able to carry on a less than shallow conversation is a major factor. Noted
What do women get out of the whole cougar arrangement, besides being with a guy that can keep up with their own libido? I wouldn't be opposed to dating an older woman, but I feel like I'd just be kicking the can down the road until one of us found a more age appropriate person to date. Who knows though? If I really connected with a woman 15 years my senior and she felt the same, I don't think I'd let those 15 years come between us.
Most older women don't want someone half their age. It's the younger guys who hit on them. But as some posters here have said, sometimes the guys don't know the women they're hitting on are older.
that's the age of most the women regulars who post here. how often do you attract the attention of younger men, and do you feel flattered by it, or a little weirded out by it?
I was a bit uncomfortable when I learned my DH was more than two years younger than I, more than twenty-five years ago when we first started getting serious about each other -- particularly since he looked about 15 years old.
He still looks lots younger. I've had people ask if I was his mother.
I don't think I attract younger men, I've always (since I was a teen) attracted older men.
Hmmm, I guess I wouldn't care one way or the other if a younger guy was attracted to me.
I would never pursue a relationship with a younger man (assuming I were single). I just can't fathom what a man would see in a woman 10+ yrs older than him, other than a sexual conquest that he can check off his list. No thanks!
It happens every now and then. I'm not into REALLY young guys, though, so I tell them that while I'm flattered, I'm not interested.
