Guys stopped hitting on me at 27.

Did someone say something?

Huh. Guess I was imagining it.

I can barely step out for a happy hour without some young buck offering to buy me a drink.

Are you married with children like the rest of us?

The last time someone hit on me I was 30.

However DH still thinks I'm hot. That's enough for me

I"m 42 and last week, in one day, I got two complements from two different men. One told me that I made my car look sexy (minivan) and the other told me "wow, what a beautiful face". So nice to hear.

Yes. My weight is all around the middle. I'm only 10lbs above my ideal weight, but becoming a mom has been hard on my shape.

I'm 48. Men still look/hit on me. I've had 2 kids, since that seems to be pertinent to the thread.

Not "young bucks" though, whatever that means. They all seem to be 30+. (I hope)

Not yet, but I'm only 30.

As obnoxious as the female executive is, she's correct. Guys have never really hit on me, mostly because I didn't give a shit and didn't try very hard. Those times that I did care, I would get attention, but that hasn't been in years. DH thinks I'm sexy as hell- that's all I care about. I'm 38, btw.

When I got pregnant with my first at 34.

I don't understand women who 'only care what DH thinks'. I'd want to be universally attractive, if not for anyone else then at least for myself.

I still very occasionally get attention, but not often. I'm mid-thirties and have had 1 kid, but no midsection wt gain (yet).

I think part of the reason it's a lot less is because when I leave home, it's either for work or kid stuff, and re: the latter I'm sometimes with my husband. Rarely go to any bars etc. these days.

One think I've noticed is that men that have hit on me since college have always been like 10 yrs older; sometimes more. One dude started chatting with me a couple weeks ago--while I was with my toddler--the guy had to be at least 50. Men are pigs.

I'm 50 and they still notice me.

It's supply and demand. On a college campus there is a plethora of young people. Now you probably work, in a place with older people or married people.

I get hit on every time I grow my hair long for locks of love, then I cut it and BAM! nobody holds the door any more.

I have done this 5 times ... same thing every time... weird.
