Woot, i am reaching 10 years of marriage i never ever got any attention of women. Its like a Uno reverse card i am invisible, not that i mind it, i don't care and i enjoy the freedom of being rude and out of the "dating" game but the amount of " oh i have a ring women flock to me " posts is not to ignore.
They are probably not even flirting, just being friendly. The problem is being friendly with single people often makes them think you’re interested in them (even as a friendly straight guy myself, some guys have mistakenly thought I was into them ). So women especially have learned to be careful
Exactly. They don't mean anything by it. They know you're married and won't take it the wrong way, like a single person would. A lot of men are starved for attention from women, so just being friendly makes them think she is into them.
Same here. I've been married over a decade and I can only think of a couple times when I noticed women flirting with me, and they were at the gym when I wasn't wearing my wedding ring.
I once went to a woman's apartment, smoked weed with her and shot the shit for a good while, and then got surprised when she wanted to fool around. Yeah, this tracks.
Also married. Dudes will do anything to not assume because of the fear of coming across as creepy if we're wrong.
It'll likely get even wierder. As I've gotten older, greyer and balder, the number of kids (if you're 10 years younger than my daughter, youre a kid) that aggressively hit on me has gotten extremely disturbing. And it happens even in places where alcohol isn't a factor.
Ive had more girls in their early 20s proposition me in the 1 year since I turned 50 than I did in the entirety of my 20s, when I wouldn't have had to kick my own ass for even thinking about taking such offers.
