My wife has a friend that says that she is hit on by men constantly.
They do stuff together and what my wife has witnessed has nothing more than normal public courtesies like holding a door or asking if the line forms here type stuff, it just happened to be coming from a man, her friend then rolls her eyes and huffs that she’s surrounded by lecherous men.
OP, what does being hit on mean to you? When you say chatted up what is the context?
Do these 70 year old men ask you for your phone number?
Narcissism is on display here in DCUMville. Your wife's friend, and the OP, are attempting to hide bragging about being attractive under a very thin veneer of complaining.
You see narcissistic men doing this all the time ("She still calls me even after I told her I wanted NSA sex.") It is sad no matter who is doing it.
