Do you get lots of attention from the opposite sex?

[bigmamaweekitty]

I'm an ugly bug 😂 but I'm Just curious to know... do you get lots of attention from admirers? If so do you enjoy it? Do you play on it to get what you want? Does it 'annoy' you when you for some reason dont get the attention you're used too?

I often think it must be nice to have people rally round because they fancy you so if you're one of them please tell us all what it's like 😊

I was a proper ugly ducking till I was about 17, then bam ! And I had absolutely no idea what to do with any of it !

Now I'm 50 and still do get quite a bit of attention because I appear to look quite a bit younger than my years . My hair is long now and I wave it , I'm more comfortable in my own skin than I ever was so maybe I carry myself differently and because f the job I do I appear confident and I'm used to getting stared at due to my uniform so I've become a massive exhibitionist 😂.
I do quite enjoy male attention . All gets knocked into a tin hat tho when I'm with my dd who is much taller than me , blonde slim and shines . When we were in Rome we got free deserts and drinks 😂. Men kept randomly asking me if my dd was single and giving me the thumbs up sign . She gets embarrassed by it which is even sweeter .

I used to! Then I had three kids and got fat and now I am invisible, which I mostly enjoy but sometimes wouldn't mind a bit of acknowledgement like before 😅

Despite being told by friends and family that I'm very pretty I've never had any attention. Either they're all lying or I have resting bitch face 🤷‍♀️

Strangely when I was younger, slimmer and prettier I had much less confidence as I was always worried when I went out in case I wouldn't get noticed.

I've actually found being older, a bit bigger (size 12/14 but tall) and less attractive kind of liberating - it's made me much more relaxed and less worried about what men think of me, and on the occasions I do get noticed or flirted with it's just a nice unexpected surprise!

A fair bit yes. I scrub up well and have always been vain so do full make up take care of my skin etc. I however find this annoying as I have no interest in getting a bloke as I much prefer independence.

"Men are shallow as far as I'm concerned. When my children were very little I wore my glasses all the time, and usually had my long hair tied back. Still smart and groomed though. Now I have more time I have my hair down and wear contacts. The men that didn't give me a second glance for years in the school yard now gawp at me. I'm the same person."

I'm not sure men are much more shallow than women, it's just what attracts them initially is narrower in range than what attracts women.

Women go for looks and status whereas men just go for looks. Neither is very 'deep' although both signal good breeding stock.

Yes and I enjoy it. I don't use it to get what I want though.

I still do. I notice it but it doesn't bother me either way. Im bubbly and chatty too which I guess sends an available sign to some too 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm definitely feeling more invisible as there's younger, prettier women and always will be. And that's ok. My DP gives me all the attention I need though

I do get lots of attention, even now, from the opposite sex and from my own. I have no idea what to do with it, usually. If I'd had a mentor, from say, age 12, I could have made something of it. (wasn't planning to go on the game, I'm autistic, any social interaction is an issue for me).

Not much, but always from older men, at least 10 years older than me. I am terrible at reading body language though, so it may well have been more often than I realised but was totally oblivious.

I started going grey in my 20s and never dyed it, so I think that made me invisible. Men always thought of me as friend material, not someone they wanted to shag. It used to bother me when I was younger, now I'm glad!

Men just love women? That's just human nature....

Yeah!!Too often than I desire, and I hate it but I love it at the same time.

Yes. Always. I'm nearly 62. Only last week I had a little bant with a chap in a van on the other side of the road in traffic. Whenever dh and I go to a function the chaps always make a fuss of me. Always have. I like men; they have always seemed to like me - always palled up with the boys even when at school.

DH has rolled his eyes for more than 30 years and chuckled. I've always just been treated as one of the lads. Probably because I've never wanted or needed a boyfriend.

When I was younger, thinner, prettier and thinner yes

Now - no 😂

Am I bothered? Not really although it is depressing getting older and being overweight!

I used to, but I'm old now, so they leave me alone thank god!

I’m 51 and get a lot of attention especially from younger men, 30s or so. I look good for my age and really enjoy being looked at by attractive young men. No longer surrounded by kids and pushchairs and all that mum paraphernalia, I guess I look like a confident independent woman.

No, not at all. I don't look at other men or notice if anyone looks at me.

When I was younger I did but ony when I wore make up.

Yes, I have since I was about 12. When I was a teen and early 20s I used to court it more, I'm now early 30s and I hate it. It doesn't matter what I wear, but it's especially bad if I have made a bit of an effort most days I wear very casual clothes with no make up. I even get shouted at from cars pushing my son in a pram. I don't think I'm stunning in any way but I've always had something men seem to like.

I came here to say the same thing.
I was somewhat attractive when I was younger and slimmer but now I'm fat, I'm invisible.
I actually feel safer.

Exactly 👍

When I was younger I did and I hated it. Walking home from school past building sites, being shouted at by passing cars while waiting at bus stops. Just horrible.

The respectful charm of a usually older gentleman, with the gift of empathy, conversation and with a twinkle in his eye. Quite different.

Funny what folks say about hair upthread.

If I wear my hair flipped right over on one side men always take a second look. Always. Specially if it looks kind of scruffy (blonde)

Crazy!
