Women Huddlers, Is There an Age...

Where women no longer flirt casually in passing? Any male huddlers can chime in with their own experiences as well.

I'm just curious because all through my teenage years and early twenties, I was hit on regularly. Being that I'm faithful to my wife, it was all I had to look forward to as far as attention goes and served as much needed confidence boosts. But, I never have it happen anymore (I'm 28 now) and stopped having it happen around 25 or so. I used to be approached in grocery stores, work, school, etc. As far as I can tell, I don't look much different than I did 3-8 years ago.

Just had my 10 year reunion and was told several times that "I haven't changed much at all."

My friend has a theory that it's because women our age now that still "flirt" or openly approach men are mostly in bars or the club scene.

Again, I'm not interested in that at all or engaging it. I just miss having that feeling of knowing "I still got it," and being able to say, "I'm sorry, I'm married." And to be clear, I've even discussed it with my wife, and I just get the "Women at work always say how handsome you are... And why does it matter?" LOL.

I think another thing at work is, I don't get out of the house as often and I'm currently staying at home with my kids during the day until I start grad school, so I'm just not out to where I can be hit on as often either.

Not to sound shallow, it's just bothered me. And on top of that, when something occasionally happens, I can't even read whether it was a "hit" on me or not. For instance, a girl gave me something for free that I intended to pay for at the drive thru and was making extra eye contact when she was speaking. But, I can't tell anymore...

Serious feedback is appreciated.

That's another thing guys... One of my best friends, who I actually look up to a great deal because of what an upstanding person he is, he once asked me, "You don't ever BS with a girl? Like when you go through drive-thrus or run into one at a store? Just to see how they react? Not that you would do anything wrong, just to see what they'll do."

I guess like a "heat check," lol. I told him no, because I don't ever want to get that close to the line because it opens you up to do something wrong. And he is all about his soon-to-be wife and any girl he was with back then, he wouldn't cheat on them.

Maybe these women don't flirt with married men

Do you wear your wedding ring?

and there's different types of flirting....not all flirting is "omg let's fug!!!!'....

I know what you're saying...but I think people flirt until the day they kick it..

Yeah usually, but I don't ever see women even look at it. And sometimes, I just run out to do some errands real quick, so I don't wear it and still nothing...

It's just weird. I used to get chased down in the mall and had girls offer to take me out to dinner. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to prop myself up... I always thought I was a nice looking guy but no dreamboat, lol.

But, I'm saying that because I had it happen A LOT where women/girls as a teen would openly flirt with me. I could even tell by how they looked at me if they were looking to flirt. Or when they'd look once in passing and I'd catch them look again - automatic. I don't even get second looks now when I'm out. Either that, or I'm just not as vigilant as I used to be when it comes to that, lol.

It's just kind of slightly, barely, just a little bit depressing.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway.

      There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
