At what age did men stop hitting on you?

| I'm 46 and I am not thin. I'm slightly plump but I get hit on regularly, as in men, young and old, stopping their cars to talk to me. I always expect them to ask for directions and I am always pleasantly surprised when I get a compliment. This happened just two weeks ago in Georgetown as i was trying to cross the street to get yes, a georgetown cupcake! I dress very stylishly but not sexily ( don't have the figure for that). I say pleasantly surprised because I get NO compliments from my husband and I forget that I can be attractive to the opposite sex. |

I'm 38 and attractive, in good shape, but not hot or beautiful, per se. I still get hit on. Not as often as I used to, but still just often enough to make me feel like I'm not totally dead yet. I actually had guys flirting with me when I was pregnant at 36! Go figure. For me, I rarely get cat-called (except when running in sports bra & shorts) but I do get interest from guys at bars and parties, and occasionally I get a vibe from someone at work that they find me attractive.
Sounds like you either have less confidence in your looks than you did when you were younger, or it's just a different kind. Or maybe you're just exuding a very MARRIED vibe and most of the guys I know just won't go there. (notice that I said "most.") I have found that after I had my daughter, I definitely don't try as hard with my looks, and to be honest, I didn't try that hard before. I may need to step up my game a bit if I want to find a boyfriend. (I'm single.) Good luck! |

I'm approaching 40 and I still get hit on in a way. I don't think anyone is trying to seduce me, but I still feel appreciated when men I don't know stop to comment on my smile (happens all the time), and sometimes about my butt, which cracks me up.
It's all pretty light-hearted and funny to me. It's nice to feel noticed, but I doubt I'd miss it if it stopped someday. |

| I guess what annoys me is that most of the men who approach me appear 5-10 years older than I am. I'm 37-- and married so it's all hypothetical. But I tell my husband (who is only 1 year older) that if we met today rather than as undergrads, he'd apparently be out of my league age-wise because middle-aged men believe they deserve somewhat younger women. |

I"m 37 and some guy hit on me at Costco this weekend. I had a little herpee too.
I will say that before the bump showed, I got hit on a LOT while I was expecting #1. I think b/c I put off a mega happy vibe. |

I don't feel like people ever really hit on me, but I'm 35 and still feel guys checking me out. I'm sure that will fade in the next few years.
I'm not sure where anyone would actually hit on me though. Giant or Whole Foods on a weekend morning? Yoga class? Work? Starbucks? Those are pretty much the only places I hit these days! |

| Yeah, I remember those days... Now it's amazing how much attention my baby attracts when we go out! |

| Forty something and still getting attention, thankfully. OP, don't care so much, don't become old and bitter, that is really the least attractive. The most nauseating is the false praise laid on thick by some very guilty husbands. Aren't the wives embarrassed that they are doing it all for looks? It is so obvious and makes it look like the husband did something worse than he really did! People aren't that stupid, STFU! |

I'm almost 40, with 1 kid, and still get hit on, but only when I'm without DD. When I'm running errands with DD, everyone's paying attention to her, and that's fine with me. Agree with PP, it's not about your age.
