How often do you get chatted up

Rarely, about once a year. Used to be more often before I met DH - I was probably more receptive to attention when I was single, plus I was younger (met DH late 20s). Most of the time I have a child in tow and am too preoccupied to respond to much chatting, from men or anyone else!

Only by men at least 20 yrs older than me. And that was even when I was young…but for the most part never. Even when I still had my looks. 😂

I get more attention the older I get, weird how it's different for people!

It's bizarre isn't it. I get more attention from taken men than single men, friends report the same from dating apps.
Most married men have that glint in their eyes when they look at you, doesn't mean they will act on it but they are always scouting.

Never at the moment, though I sometimes still feel that I'm getting the eye from the occasional bloke - largely a confidence thing i think, I have a high sex drive and have a slight tendency to letch at eye up people myself, which occasionally gets a response*

*This may be delusional- I'm 54 and clinically obese

A couple of years back when I was 2 stone lighter and with a gonzo sex life, a lot more looks, though still pretty much no approaches.

I come with a “never knowingly chatted up” guarantee.

The “knowingly” being a critical word there. It would help if they flew a little flag to express their intentions, like a Jolly Roger, a blue Peter or even just the plague flag…

Never, thank God. Not when I was young and certainly not now.

Aaaaaaall the time, but I work in an environment where it's mainly male orientated, especially when I work in different shops.....new face...new person to chat up, you get the idea. Don't know how many times I have to hear the same lines. I just laugh about it and show my disdain now.

No idea, unless someone gets down on one knee with a diamond ring I’m completely oblivious to come on,s, chat ups or anything else, I don’t take hints at all, suspect I might be autistic because there are signals I just don’t get.
I’ve had friends tell me can’t you see that or why didn’t you do that and I just don’t get it or know what I’m supposed to do.
im glad cuz I hate the thought of men coming on to me at all.
been with my boyfriend for 18 months and we didn’t kiss until 3rd date, we are both weird in similar ways.

I've heard of men fancying "FBF" women ("fat but fit").

I became invisible the day I turned 40, it's bloody fantastic!

No idea!… My friend and dh take the piss out of me as I’ve been chatted up in the past and just happily chatted away blissfully unaware that I’m being hit on.

I'm 38, fat, always have been, get chatted up fairly frequently, most times I go 'out out' and so many times at work.
I do carry the weight reasonably well for a fat lass but I'm still clearly overweight. I am pretty confident and outgoing and I think I do have a nice face/good teeth/take care of myself generally. Absolute bullshit that men don't fancy fat women.

Actually quite often if I'm out. I'm NOTHING to write home about and the men are the ones who I wouldn't touch with a bargepole, and they're usually drunk 🤣

I've just read that back 🤣🤣

Yeah, never!! Ohh I'm chuckling now.

I've been chatted up a few times while out with my daughter. She's not impressed by men approaching me, gives them the evils and says they look "sketchy"🤣. I trust her judgment.

To clear up any misunderstanding, I would like to make clear that the men who approach me online have all had the same or similar chat up lines... so formulaic, and been quite pestering and sexual in their comments; not exactly desirable.

Never but I’m happily married with a resting bitch face. Dh says men look bit I don’t notice. I have a male friend at work who is very sweet but he’d never over step. I have a feeling that if I was single he might try but it would be a polite no… I’m not single so it’s not an issue.

Never. Don't really care either. I'm old and fatter than I've ever been now. If I dress up nicely and wear make up, it's usually for work and to make myself happy no one else. Ex husband couldn't stop himself staring at slim, young girls every single time we stepped out of the house. I no longer live with that anxiety anymore of never measuring up to his unspoken standards which I am grateful for. Being invisible generally is better than being invisible to your husband.

If I didn't know any better, it looks for all the world like stealth boasting!

@GarlicGrace I love 'old, dishevelled and antisocial' and am stealing that for an NC, it's very apt for me! 😆

I have a resting bitch face so not much , I scare myself if I catch a glance in a shop window !

I've been regularly chatted up throughout my life, sometimes approached by strangers on the street and public transport etc. I don't 'doll up' but I'm slim, petite and I have an intriguing/mysterious look that certain men seem to like. Now in my late 30s I've noticed the attention has dropped off a bit which is very welcome. I love the idea of just being able to chat to anyone without them thinking I'm coming onto them. I've been in closed/defensive mode my entire adult life due to not wanting to give the wrong impression. Sad really.

Same.
It does depend on situation. I'm out and about for work all the time, so always walking in the city. I get stopped in the street and chatted up, but they all seem odd or foreign or too old. Odd as in no social boundaries
Bars different, a range of men due to drinking.
If I'm with my kids I don't get attention really

If you are to believe a lot of posters on mumsnet, a man merely starting a conversation with a woman is unwanted harassment and pestering!
