Do you get "hit on"?

[Jmangel]

Following on from a thread yesterday, I realised I never get hit on. Now I'm 43 but even 20years ago, I wouldn't have been hit on in everyday scenarios. Yes I would have been approached in a club or bar, but not paying for petrol, whilst at work etc. So do you get hit on or not? I know we're supposed to be above all of this and not be validated by everyone else's opinion of us, but starting to think I am officially past it! I'm reading a really annoying book at the moment by Paula Daly, The mistake I made, and in it, the protagonist cannot move for romantic and sexual advances - So much so that it's beginning to grate as not realistic, but then maybe it is and it's just me that gets overlooked! If you reply to this rambling, please let us know you're age and what you would rate yourself out of 10 in attractiveness terms. I would rate myself 6/10 on a very good day!

Anyway, whatever. You're quite right - this isn't the place for me to be posting at the moment. I'm understandably bitter about what men think it's ok to do to women.

When I was younger yes. Not any more.

I too OP, get annoyed by the ease with which Movie and TV protagonists are able to click their fingers and have men fall over at their feet, not because I'm jealous (my life is much less dramatic these days) but because it portrays women as being far more privileged and powerful than they actually are and fuels men resentment of the advantages they think we have.

I think you should talk about it wherever and whenever you like. Hope you feel better soon

I rarely get hit on in the street etc. I like to think it's because of the "Fuck off asshole" vibe I give off, but maybe I'm just ugly.

Saying that, I have no trouble pulling when I want to, so it's not a problem :)

Nope. Never. Not when I was younger and definitely not now. Better crawl back into my troll cave

Nope for me too. I have an emotionless face, I've been told.

Would have been fun to get hit on.

Yes I do and I'm in my late 50's. I used to get lots of attention years ago, then hit a quiet decade or two; couldn't give a toss either way, but definitely happening again now. Not sure why-weird!
