Gross older men keep hitting on me

[Anonymous]

I'm a guy and older men talk to me all the time. Because older men often just talk a lot to strangers. I'm pretty sure they aren't hitting on me.

I’m 37, divorced last year, thin and relatively attractive, putting myself back out there but absolutely NOT interested in these creepy old men. I’m afraid I somehow give out some kind of signal that I’m too “eligible” or somehow in the league of these men. I dated ONE man who was pushing 60, because we uniquely clicked, but that doesn’t mean I’m fair game. Go home, grandpa.

Don’t worry. This will pass in about 3 to 6 years.

It doesn't. I'm 48 and still get hit on a lot. Not by elderly men though.

Why are you chiming in on this thread? 🙄

I was responding to the PP who said that the attention will stop when she's 40. That doesn't happen.

this. if you are attractive, dress well and are confident all ages apply here

But if you insist on frequenting places like this, OP, learn to throw drinks in their faces. It's a very dramatic yet effective response. Pro tip: only order well booze, not the top-shelf stuff. You'll save $$.

That's called assault idiot.
And then the man can "defend themselves" and literally knock the S out of you.

A 67 yo may no longer feel entitled to hit on an 18 yo, but someone 30 years younger? - that feels in range to them, particularly when the 67 yo is convinced he’s “really” more like a 55 or 60 yo.

I am 57 and still get street harassment - whistles, comments about my ass, etc. I’m not particularly fit or pretty. However, at the moment it happens, I am alone. That’s the only thing I’m doing “wrong” - in that moment I am a woman unprotected by a man and so other men think it’s OK to sexually objectify me out loud or make some kind of pass.

If this kind of contact is occurring in a dating environment, it is simply because in that environment men think they have a shot at anything. It’s not because of anything you do.

Lol desperate guys are willing hit anything that moves

They’re neither desperate nor even “hitting on her” in the sense of hoping she’ll go out with them, or something. They just see that she’s alone and get a little thrill from making her feel momentarily uncomfortable. It’s like a kid shoving a littler kid for no reason. It’s sexual bullying.

gross! ... did they say, like, "hi" ???

I somehow doubt "grandpas" who harass young women are reading DCUM.

Is this more like a humble brag?

OP sounds like the delusional fat chicks I knew in college who thought they were getting hit on whenever a guy said hi to them.

Use of word "Gross" in your title really says a lot about you. Nothing good I'm afraid.

Some men hit on everyone all the time OP, just on the off chance they might get lucky. Really has nothing to do with you, probably being thin and in shape attracts them.

That has been my whole life since I was 15. It's only at 45 that younger men were interested, and the back to 58.

Honestly, half the women on this thread are delusional, and I say this as an almost 40 year-old woman. So a man in his 70s starts a conversation with you. Who cares? Odds are he’s not hitting on you. Calm down and quit thinking the world revolves around you. Not every man that speaks to you wants to get in your pants.

How are you for money? Some of these guys their wallet can be thicker than their penis, which is worth considering. Sure, you might need to give them a few sponge baths or change a diaper or two when the hospice nurse isn’t around but the payoff can be awesome. Ask me how I know!

I don’t See the problem?
