How Does a 45 YO Married Male Know He is Attractive

Short of asking out dozens of woman and playing the odds.

Would any similarly aged woman give off any hints they are interested?

Things have changed a bit since I was single.

If you have kids (or a dog), women chatting you up when you’re at the park with them is a pretty reliable sign. Or chatting at the gym (assuming you are not wearing a mask- I find it’s very hard to tell someone’s facial features while they have one on).

Fair or not, attractiveness is subjective. So either his wife shows him with her sexual interest or he finds it from women outside the marriage.

It's why they say cheating is often times about validation that men aren't getting in the marriage

A wife who often initiates is a pretty good clue.

... So having a possibly asexual wife means a guy is ugly? Asking for a friend. I'll hang up and listen for the answer.

Dating apps are primarily based on looks and you will get a very clear impression of where you stand.

As a soon-to-be-happily divorced 55 year old male, I an say this - of your are good looking, interesting to talk to, in reasonably good shape and confident, you are not going to have problems attracting women.

You know if you're attractive, if you don't know you're probably not.

I don’t know. Does it really matter if anyone other than your spouse finds you attractive?

Women look at men who they find attractive, and vice versa. If you’re catching looks it’s a good sign.

If that's the case, I'm a looker then!!!

I often catch women looking at me, but I have to wonder if they caught me looking at them, or sometimes their cleavage

God please don’t say that. I am not romantically interested in every dad I make conversation with at the playground. Give me a break!

Well, if she is truly asexual then she won't be attracted to anyone but the only way to tell if it's him as the problem or her is if he can pull off an affair. But those are frowned upon by some

Why do you care? Seriously. I understand this is a concern when you’re on the dating market, but you’re married. Does your wife find you attractive? As long as that’s a yes, what does it matter if you’re generally seen as attractive?

I have spent exactly zero time thinking about whether I’m conventionally attractive since I got married. Who cares?
