I mostly get hit on by guys 20 years older than me. They don't seem to care that I reject them. A lot of times I am the one hitting on guys because they don't seem to want to make a move and then when we date they say they would have never approached me, out of fear.


Older dudes are smarter. They know that if they hit on 50 women, chances are, at least one of them will go out on a date. Can't win if you don't try.
Most men don't approach beautiful women cause so many of these women claim they're tired of being hit on. So many men just don't bother.

I know some will say, "YoU DoN'T kNOW iF yOU DoN'T tRY" some of us know that but certain women just aren't worth the effort.

I've never seen 60 year old men hitting on women. Aren't they too tired of dealing with ex wives, raising children/dealing with the drama having offspring brings, not being able of popping one-up, to bother chasing after women? I do see a lot of men aged 40-60 staring and checking out attractive 18-25 year old women. Good taste doesn't change no matter how old a man gets lol.

Most women get an insane amount of male attention, but to be honest the only attention that matters is the one they get from men they are attracted to, so the attention of men aged 35+ doesn't matter to them, just like if that day I'm getting only attention from unattractive women, I'll say that I'm invisible to women and that the average man isn't desired lol.


As for the rest, hahaha, if those women are beautiful and the men aren't, what would be the point of approaching.

I know this is gonna be hard to believe, but most women are not 18-25. And women still exist past the age of 25. The experiences of women over 25 do not reflect the majority of the female population.

I don't care how beautiful a woman is... Some of them aren't worth approaching cause they're not that pleasant. I see some women with scowls on their face like they were forced into public at gunpoint. I won't talk to a woman if it doesn't feel welcome period.

If a woman isn't getting approached by men then she's doing something wrong that's repelling them away.

I'd say the same thing to men who can't attract women.

Eh, I think that's my tragic flaw. That and hating working, I'm too accostumed to free-cruising. A truly beautiful woman got me going like Hungry Like The Wolf

And I end up making a fool of myself, I remember this one girl at the University who had the biggest of scowls even to the super hot guys in our classroom, she was literally rude and unpleasant to everyone, but I just couldn't stop marvelling at how beautiful she was. Lucky is the guy who ended up having babies with her

Most women do not get an insane amount of male attention, because most women are average or below. Some women get a lot of attention. Other women don't. Life is complex and nuanced--who'd have thunk? Most average women don't get hit on by men a generation older than them, either.

These are all cliches that you're spouting; they're not grounded in real life. Sure, there are women who get a lot of attention. They're not the majority of women, though.

They do, though, and many of them hit on women close to their age. (File this reality-check under: The Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction.). They're not tired of women and drama. Some are widowers, for one thing, and had good experiences in their marriage, and want more of the same. Others are smart enough to realize that not all women are the same, so if one marriage didn't work out, the next one might do the trick. Hope springs eternal, except for the bitter ones. Hope never makes it into the angry bro-blogs, though.

Remember, life, like the people who populate it and make it happen, is complex and diverse. People aren't produced by cookie-cutters, and their experiences vary tremendously. Human experience, even human experience in one country, the US, can't be boiled down to a cliche or simple formula.

True. But 26 year old women are invisible, so I'm pretty sure he doesn't really see 60 year old men.

Seriously. Talk to someone who has worked in a nursing home. Ask if it's true that the old folks have sex. They do.

And I know lots of old men (who look "old") who love to flirt outrageously. Because suddenly they appear to be "harmless" no matter how creepy they are. One pattern I've seen is that they will go eat alone at places like Ihop or other sorts of brunch diners and whatnot, and flirt relentlessly with young waitresses. Then usually tip them well. Much of the time I see that kind of behavior as rather predatory, and I generally don't recommend it, but these dudes make it look cute, and the ladies see that they are old and alone and are nice to them. My Grandpa turns 90 this year, I believe, and since Grandma passed some years ago, and now he's in an assisted living complex, and yeah...he chases women. I don't know with how much "success" and by god I don't want to!

Also, Marshyy, 60 isn't even that old these days. How young are you approximately? I'm curious. Would you be willing to give us even a range?

MQ, you're not "tall". You're "statuesque"!

"The Importer's Wife" still posts here once in a while...She is a beautiful lady....
