[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I am a fit, attractive, intelligent woman (50), and I receive many admiring looks and casual conversation from older men (particularly silver foxes in their late 50s-early 60s), but no one asks me out.[/quote]

I don't anyone on this board believes any of this. IF you're half as "fit & attractive" as you think you are, unless there's other issues going on (suck as a poor personality and/or sour attitude) you'd have no problem getting dates.

[quote=Anonymous]In general, a woman is not offended if you politely ask her out to coffee, or at least it will not offend me.  Take a chance and approach a woman you like, old school style.[/quote]

And then get hit with a #metoo sexual harassment lawsuit? No thanks. Thank modern-day feminists for that. Most men don't need the hassle and aggravation.[/quote]

I am stopped by someone every week (no joke) who asks me if I teach yoga, or what my workout routine/secret is.  Generally it is women who ask these questions here in Washington.

However, when I travel to other cities I have men whistle at me on the street, or make unsolicited compliments about my physical appearance.  I smile, thank them, and generally graciously accept these nice gestures with the good will they are (hopefully) intended. In DC a man will not do such a thing.  I suppose it is politically sensitive to compliment a woman on her appearance, and I do appreciate the respect and caution exercised by DC men.

As I said in my previous post, I do pick up on the admiring looks that come my way from men.  Since some women do not engage in online dating, or frequent bars, I would encourage a man who find a woman attractive to feel free to approach her at the coffee shop, after a religious service or a lecture, at the bookstore, grocery store, or the gym, and say something like, "hey, I noticed you and I both come here often, would you like to join me for coffee or a drink on Saturday."  That kind of organic, natural, "old school", personal approach still works.[/quote]
