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.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
