    OK, probably a silly post and I hesitate a little to say it as I've seen how some of these discussions can kind of go down in flames, but I just had to put it out there.

    I lost this weight for me and my health and I'm super proud of it. But I will admit that in the back of mind was the hope (perhaps the expectation even) that getting in to better shape and generally just looking better would result in an improvement in my dating life. Yet while I get hit on a lot more, the increase only seems to be in the kind of guys I don't date (namely 20 somethings who are looking for a cougar and all remind me of my baby brother so it creeps me out or married men which is totally out of the question), and not at all with the guys I would date (40 something professionals who are single).

    So, to all the single guys out there, especially all my 40-something guys, what does a 40 year old woman have to do to get you to ask her out and just give her a chance?

    I'm in a different age group, but yes I have the same issue. No dates!
    On the other hand if I am out with my mom she says how she notices guys looking and I don't. maybe we are checked out but don't notice?? Maybe they are afraid to ask us out? :)

    To get hit on you have to be 5'8" blonde, big blue eyes, at 125lbs

    LOL. Thankfully No! :D

    O and the place I work...creepy guys. No respect for themselves, they are old, probably married and flirt with me! I don't count them though...because they are just rude and creepy!!
