Agree with PP. Seems age appropriate. [/quote]

Probably not to the women. Especially since most of us ARE there to work out no matter what we are wearing. Don’t approach us. We aren’t here to socialize.

If a woman wants to interact she’ll start the conversation. And asking about a machine or exercise is not flirting.

OP. I’d say it’s ego. At some point those gpas learned dramatically younger women aren’t receptive to them. [/quote]
Thanks! I guess my real question is, why isn’t the 20something guy flirting with the beautiful 40something? I realize it’s subjective, but I find the 40something absolutely stunning when compared to the younger 20something, plus she’s likely more confident and experienced (?) so you’d think the guys would be more interested in her? FWIW, I’m in my 30s and super average. It’s just interesting to watch. [/quote]

Guys go where they think they have a chance. He probably doesn’t think he has much chance.[/quote]
But at the same time, the old man does?[/quote]

The kid is scared and inexperienced. The old man has no time for silly “what ifs” and knows from experience that what you lose after rejection is - nothing.

Shoot your shot people.

I’m a woman in my mid 40s and I wouldn’t really want to date anyone younger than late 30s to late 50s because stage of life matters. Happily married but do get approached or rather I get little “knocks on the door” at work, the gym, grocery store, etc. I’m always friendly back but find a way to let them know the conversation isn’t going further. There is nothing personal, I’m just not available and if you don’t try to at least say hi, you won’t know.[/quote]

Let me get this straight: your theory about why the young men are flirting with the young women is that they lack the confidence to flirt with the older women - not that they actually prefer or feels more comfortable with the women their own age?

“Feel more comfortable” is a subset of confidence. [/quote]

You're certainly confident - I'll give you that![/quote]
