    The fact that I can continue this song fills me with shame.

    I can't imagine having men oogle me. I guess I've never been oogling material, even when thinner. Somehow I did manage to land a husband and I was told I had a sexy phone voice- once. Apparently sexy stopped there. Now that I'm just past 50 I would imagine it's too late for oogilation.

    Hmmm.. if I'm drunk and a little more bold I'll run my hands through my hair, "eye-rape" them from across the room, smile with a slight biting of my lip and/or expose some skin (ex. taking off a jacket or crossing my legs if I'm wearing a skirt) :laugh: :laugh:

    When I'm sober... I avert their gazes & stare at the wall/floor. I'm WAYYYYY too awkward in my sober state to ever attract the attention of a guy. I'm always super shy and quiet. Something I need to work on in 2014..

    This post is awesome & I admire your confidence OP!! :drinker:

    Agree 100%. I'm not that far from 50, and I get some elevator eyes and hard stares from guys my kid's age (and from the older ones too). Maybe they watch too much "Desperate Housewives" or something. :ohwell:

    I agree as well! I'm 45 and when snapperheads as young as 17 steal glances at me, I wonder what the HELL are they thinking??? It just dumbfounds me & cracks me up all at the same time. Only once in a very long while will I get a creeper, most of them are sufficiently flattering enough to make me want to look in a mirror to see if there's something amiss.

    I get this, too sometimes. I always want to stop and give the poor dears a lesson in cougar hunting. Lesson #1: Find a cougar who has money, college is expensive. Which most definitely disqualifies me!

    I know you were only asking women, but us guys have the same problem.

    I carry a large nightstick to beat them off with. But some of them like that so it just compounds my problem.

    This made me laugh out loud and now my family is looking at me and wondering why I'm laughing by myself. :laugh:

    Seriously though, I don't get "looks" from anyone.....I think I'm too average to attract attention to myself.

    Well thank you all.. I still cant imagine it, but we'll see, I guess. It's not like I'm ugly really.. I guess just plain or something.

    I'm as ordinary looking as ordinary gets. Carry yourself like you own the world, and people think you do.

    Ordinary here too!...it really is about how you carry yourself...now how about that theme music?

    Definitely not too late. It must be the theme music :blushing:
  • Posts: 3,134 Member
    practice your 'knowing' smile :blushing:
    put your theme music on heavy rotation
    and personally...I've given birth, raised teenagers & stood toe to toe with my mother...I fear nothing.

    Stupid heels! My theme song last night would have been Don't Fall Down. Really messed up my stride.

    I fear everyone, which is what people find out when they try to talk to me and I run away. But I got the fearless walk part down pat!

    ahhh....one must choose theme music to match one's outfit more carefully...something slow and rolling with 4/4 time...may I suggest 'Enter the Sandman' Metallica?....'Money' by Pink Floyd maybe?:wink:

    You're very pretty so I wouldn't be surprised!

    O wait...I run away too. I've got the approach down but never implemented anything after that, sooooo....awkward usually ensues. I find this amusing though & somehow it makes it worth the effort. My life is pretty boring & I do my best to amuse myself :laugh:

    Okay, for the sake of discussion:
    Should a married man be "checking out" any woman other than his wife?
    How does a married man feel if another man "checks out" his wife?
    I know men are created to be visual in nature, but I consider my husband a true gentleman when he controls his natural tendencies and only has eyes for me.
    I think other men should be honorable enough to control themselves as well, married or not.
    Call me old fashioned...

    Um, your husband does look at other women. He's not dead. He's just very discreet.

    Yep, this is me. I'm never sure if men are actually checking me out or not. I honestly don't even know how to tell when a man is checking me out, unless he's ridiculously obvious about it...and even then I doubt it.
    Most of us aren't good at the "subtlety" thing. If you have any inkling at all a guy might be checking you out, most likely he is.

    A YOUNG man kept staring at me at the gym yesterday. I wanted to tell him so badly that my 23 year old daughter was probably even too old for him! Oh the joys of being 45! Lol!

    Muahaha. I better not go with Money, it would be false advertising! I'm going to have to think on this. Enter Sandman got overplayed when it released, can't stand it now. Always liked their older stuff better anyway.

    Seriously--confidence is key. Theme music--Brass in Pocket by the Pretenders?

    omg. perfect on sooo many levels!!!
    It was one of my theme songs as a young teen & even now it's hard to out-do that one.

    lol! to be fair, it's not so much about the music itself as it is how it makes you feel.
    I like Linda Ronstadt's 'you're no good' as I treat no one in particular to a good finger wagging.
    Maybe I should've been a lounge singer...

    I like that one, it's saucy. My dream job would be lounge singer. Pity people flee my caterwauling.

    Edit: Heck with it, I'll go with 'Radioactive' by Imagine Dragons. If the younguns are going to flirt with me, might as well go with some newer music. I'll just tell them to go home to Mom and stop talking to strangers. Besides, it's one of the few overplayed songs I'm not tired of yet.

    I once went to Staples to get school supplies for my kids. I took a shower, did my make-up and hair, and looked...well..acceptable. Once I got there, however, I was getting oggled left and right by men of all ages and women. It was like I was the hottest thing on the planet. Instantly my confidence was at 1000% and I walked a bit taller, smiled more...possibly rays of sunshine were beaming off my body. I was feelin' good! I got home and shared my Staples adventure with my daughter who looked at me with a mix of contempt and sadness and announced "Mom you have a sock static-clung across the back of your sweater".

    Kill-me-now.
