    I think I'd have a little better luck if the younger guys were around the cardio equipment instead of ONLY the weights. Wiping down benches aren't nearly as suggestive as wiping down upright handlebars on ellipticals...

    I work at a car dealership with a bunch of old creepy men. It's a daily thing.

    I have to admit, I have admired the technique of a couple of ladies in the gym as they wipe down the handles of the arc trainer.

    That's what comes to mind EVERY.SINGLE.TIME I wipe down a machine.

    I work in a pediatrics clinic. I either tend to get hit on by moms, or so-young-it's-not-even-funny. The most recent, and worst, was a 4yr old who approached me while I was entering vitals into the computer. She began rubbing my arm and, no joke, said, "When I'm older I can do what I want with you."

    I felt so... violated. My wife thought it was hysterical when I told her. Even thinking about it now, though, I want a shower.

    Kids say the darnedest things!

    Online I do sometimes, and I take that for a win. IRL not so much...

    Well except for the occasional gay guys. They seem to be a bit more brazen. The compliments are nice, even if I don’t swing that way, it is nice to know someone is looking.

    Closest from a lady this year was when an inebriated woman fell into me at my friends’ band’s show last weekend. She apologized to me, and squeezed my arm. Then she “fell” into me again, and hugged me while pressing off two quick pecks into my neck. She stood back up, smiled, squeezed my hand then stumbled off. I totally counted that as her making a pass at me. It made my whole night, even though I was not interested.

    I prefer when they turn back to look at me while they're just going up and down on that thing.

    I never get hit on, lol I have a "beeotch" face on and always seem to mean mug or frown naturally, doesn't bug me though; I'm happily married and don't want to be bothered 99% of the time.

    I work in office with all engineers and I'm not sure they have relized I'm female. :noway:

    Same here, I'm not even joking, the women just throw themselves at me. It's a hard life to live!

    ^True story with this guy! :wink:

    Women on MFP are generous and kind. The real world is a much more desolate place :/

    I do get flirted with and asked out. I am friendly. Also, I don't always wear a wedding ring because I don't wear jewelry when I'm dancing and I'm dancing all the time.

    I do them, but there hasn't been any flocking in my general direction. Or eyes, that I've noticed. Shame.

    They should! Look at all that gorgeous hair!

    And yes, you can say you've been hit on today :flowerforyou:

    I apologize, but I can't help myself. I'm sorry if that makes your life difficult.

    Only by bigger women when I get a haircut and smell like steak or chicken.

    OP, sounds like the story of my life! I am also married, but even when I was single I never got hit on. I'm an attractive person and I am in the normal weight range for my height, but I think I come across as snobby. I have the renowned "resting b*tch face" so it looks like I'm mad when I'm not! I do, however, have a nice butt and have seen many guys checking me out. I'm a definite introvert and I think people assume I'm stuck-up when actually I'm just shy and socially awkward. :blushing:

    I think a lot of it has to do with your willingness to make eye contact.

    ^ Very true. I tend to avoid eye contact at all costs, lol.

    Maybe it's the wedding ring?

    I'm usually pretty dense on the hit on department. In recent memory, my wife got a little catty with me talking with mother of my daughter's friend. Apparently, laughing and then a gentle shove of the shoulder was flirting.

    I dude asked me for my number on the subway about two years ago. I really didn't think I was in that good-a-shape. I was flattered.

    While living in my aunt's house, her cougar friends were just horrible. One of them got drunk, grabbed my *kitten* and made remarks like "Damn, Tom. If I were 20 years younger...." One time one of her friends came into the bathroom while I was in the shower. Wrong. Just wrong.

    Not really. I also don't make continued eye contact with men, or smile at them, or check them out and let them "catch" me doing so. Men are good at reading non-verbal cues. They can tell when a woman is or isn't interested.

    I know this was originally intended for women, but Only wanna chime in anyway. :)

    Funny thing is that I have figured out (to almost scientific fact) that at 200 lbs I get hit on, but of I stray over that almost at all, I do not. Not sure what this says about the world, but it is my findings. :-P

    Cat calls/Wolf Whistles when I'm out running - yes.
    Deliberate hitting on - nope.
  • Posts: 1,473 Member
    Nope. Never have been and never will be. I deliberately look away from women at the moment so that they won't think that I'm looking at them and get creeped out for it.

    Omg, so me without the married part and then add the fact that i'm 6'2 with heels on....talk about amazonian.com

    Generally speaking no, and even if I was I probably wouldn't realize someone was hitting on me. I've been told I am hopeless when it comes to recognizing such things.

    Occasionally. :D

    okay now that we've all got all our funnies out, i'm a little concerned that OP even thinks about this? is it normal to need male validation this much? enough to bring it up to husband and compare oneself to friends. once already in a secure marriage? just wondering, not trying to be mean.
