| When I moved to DC to 30 years ago (at age 30) women hit on me all the time, including old flames (they'd come to town for a conference, and we'd do it to it). Now, nothing. Yes, I've gotten married in the interim and have a few kids, but now I don't get any interest at all. It's like a switch was thrown. I don't get it. |

You are 60.
Old news. Settle in with your newspaper crossword puzzle and Sunday morning news shows. It's going to be a long downhill ride. |

Well, if that's the consensus I can accept that, but, damn. |

Well your husband should be happy about that. |

| The only woman whose interest you should be concerned about is your wife's. |

And you are surprised? Unless you are Donald Trump, most men over 50 do not have young women hitting on them. Older women maybe. You need a reality check if this is your serious expectation. And for women the drop-off starts in the 40s so consider yourself lucky. |

Yes, it's the consensus. You're 60, married, with kids. What the hell? |

| You are 60. Your ship has long since sailed. Now you are relegated to the margins and all you have left are memories, unemployment, and death. |

Is this a troll post? I'm not going to chime in with some ageist trope about how you need to accept that you are not attractive or sexual anymore (because you can be both at 60), but you honestly don't understand the difference between the lifestyle, friendships, and appropriate interactions of a 30 year old single man and a 60 year old family man?
Really??? Really???? That's a comprehension problem, not an age problem. |
