What is wrong with some women!

This would have been brilliant 😅

I’d like to know what was said

I'm repeating this (sorry) as she wasn't a teenage girl! That's a completely different scenario.

Yes some teenagers can do daft things and/or be inappropriate now and again - including fancying inappropriate people!

Insecurity; not to mention apparent surprise that there is no 'gendered' code of loyalty and that some people - male and female - behave like dicks.

Well. Colour me shocked.

The people who are saying this is a ‘stealth brag’ or be made it up … seriously? The OP is stating a fact - some woman who is a friend of no woman hit on her husband right beside her … they’ve been happily married for years. Some women are awful! Some women have no morals. Married men have affairs because women like this one facilitate them …

I think she was out to cause trouble, some people, sadly, get off on that type of behaviour, cue 'did you see her face when I asked for his number,' etc.

I am an average-ish middle aged man. The first time I had a teenage girl graffiti "XXXX 4 Sweden99" was when I was 45! It was very uncomfortable. Were I to be at a MN meeting, I am pretty sure that no-one would find me special and it is only 1% of women less than half my age that do.
It is clear there is a lot of insecurity on this thread. It happens, it is not that big a deal.

I think most women with middle aged men would be realistic enough to know that it's highly unlikely women their daughters age would be attracted to them. Not impossible, but certainly not sufficiently likely that we'd need go round like rottweilers snarling at the thought of anyone younger and more attractive entering their orbit, or frightening ourselves with myths and folk devils of predatory single mums. So much fear of young women on here. Surely when you were young you weren't chasing old married men? And if not, why do you think its so much of a worry these days?

I’m sure she just wanted him to mentor her.

Whispers - the young me was attracted to older men and I’m now married to one. - runs and hides.

Or are with middle-aged men that no other women would be attracted to.

This thread was never going to go well 😂 This is MN - no one can have an DH attractive enough to warrant women slyly trying to get his number, especially younger women - everyone will assume it's a lie. If you or your partner are attractive, you must never put that in a thread on MN or there will be a pile on. Men are generally considered to be lying if they say that someone has chatted them up/is after them - they've done something to instigate it. People doing random shit like asking married men for their numbers always have an innocent motive, like wanting to meet up with you both, thinking he's a tradesman etc. This is the parallel universe of MN.

Meanwhile, in the real world, people do weird, inappropriate, bolshy stuff, especially when alcohol is involved. Men do this kind of thing frequently, so it's not beyond the realm of possibility that a woman would too. I believe you and your DP. Some people are just cheeky like that, both sexes!!

I'm sorry that your husband cared so little for his family that he left you and your boys. This woman didn't take him though, your husband is not an object that could be taken, he is a sentient being with free will. He is also a twat of the highest order who has no personal integrity.

This.. young women are not looking at men old enough to be their dad apart from the odd anomaly.
She is just that anomaly. Not a nice woman at all.

You know what you’re right 2 don’t but my husband and another does and it was my husband she approached

Of course a younger woman chatting him up is flattering. He can still feel flattered while appreciating how awful it was of her!

She was a bitch OP! No doubt about it.

I find behaviour like this disgraceful, horrible and disrespectful!

Being drunk isn’t really an excuse, if she acts like a dick when drunk then she needs to drink less!

Someone is convinced I slept with their boyfriend (moons ago) despite me reassuring them that I’ve never even been alone with the guy!… ever! I still hate the thought that they think that 30 years on…. It isn’t something I’d ever knowingly do, and I’m not a one night stand kind of person anyway.

Well that's quite the drip feed. And you remember they were all wearing rings?

Incidentally OH and I don't wear rings neither does DF, DFIL or my three DBILs.

All married men wearing wedding rings?

Oh come on. Random woman was being an obnoxious sex pest.

Typical MN, when many posters have an opinion, that someone who disagrees with them generally comes along to call them a 'coterie' or a 'brigade'.

I don't think she did anything wrong or was 'desperate' @TTCournumberthree. In fact I admire her "balls"- I would never have been brave enough to do that at any age. She made it clear she thought he was unattached. I have had men do that to me in my younger days, which wasn't thought remarkable or out of the ordinary.

So while he may be (unlucky/lucky?) enough to meet one once in a lifetime, I think its reasonable to rest assured he will typically not be needing to fight them off with sticks to protect his virtue

I agree. I believe the OP too but in general, most young women dont go chasing after older men, even less men who are married. When I was in my 20s/30s my friends and I got plenty of offers from older men and we always turned them down because we didnt want to date much older when we could have a younger fitter man.

What you mean women oursselves who are or who were young women once, and know from experience how very very rare it is that we would pick an ordinary guy our dads age? I could easily think the ones so desperate to believe women want men 20 odd years older are either deluded about their husband's charms, or older men themselves.
However I think its more realistic to conclude that a tiny minority of young women are attracted to older men. Generally if they are wealthy. Far less common if its your ordinary old husband. So while he may be (unlucky/lucky?) enough to meet one once in a lifetime, I think its reasonable to rest assured he will typically not be needing to fight them off with sticks to protect his virtue.

That's an entirely different scenario. A woman approaching a man her own age who she hadn't realised was with someone with a mild conversation opener to test the water, is neither wrong nor particularly noteworthy.
What is, shall we say.. surprising...about the OPs situation is that the woman was both young enough to be his daughter and apparently tried to steal him from under his wife's nose.
Anecdotes about young women approaching attractive men their own age, or that they don't know are attached don't really support the likelihood that what OP describes is some sort of trend -that young single mothers are out there preying on old married men. Much as it plays into the misogyny, fears and stereotypes of some on here.
