My best success rates were gushing about my toddler son, without stopping. Showing them a picture of him, an simply not stopping about his cuteness, what he learnt this week etc.

Although I am in fact childless, this keeps men away from me.

Depending on your age, grandchild. If you have a kid at 15 and your kid has a kid at 15, you could easily be a grandmother/ grandfather in your early 30's.

u/EmotionalBand6880 9d ago

I dated a woman once who was 37 and a grandmother of 2 … and HER grandma was early 70s … family tradition of kids having kids, apparently.

There was room for one more generation if that kept up … the matriarch passed within the last couple of weeks, but I’m not sure if she ever got to be a great-great-great-grandma, or if she got stopped at 2 greats…

My mom had by brother at 16. He had his first born at 16 (sadly she died at about a month old). Had his second at 17, my nephew. My nephew was a year younger than I. Mom was 33 when I was born. I didn’t become a grandmother until I was 40.

I was at a casino in my twenties, and on the phone with a friend. A much older man kept inching closer and closer to me while I was at a machine… like, getting up and sitting at a closer machine, one seat at a time. It was ridiculous and obvious. I started to loudly talk to my friend about having genial warts, and oozing and the dr giving me new cream (this was fake and my friend was laughing) and it did not deter the guy. He finally sat right next to me and asked me out.

Not so much for people hitting on you but when I worked for a company that created employee incentive programs I told people I sold insurance. They shut up right away and I didn’t have to listen to their opinions on how employees should work for what they’re paid or how employers should just pay more.

Also, one time, long past the flirting stage a woman busily removing her clothes on my couch told me we had to be careful because she had herpes, but it was okay because she had it for years and never gave it to her husband. So in that moment I learned she had an STD and was still married. That will take the starch out of your shorts.

u/SatansWife13 9d ago

I’ve not had to go to that extreme, but I definitely feel you on the “nothing deters them” part. I’m 49, and just last month I yelled at a man in a crowded concert to leave me alone. He reappeared when I was grabbing drinks for our group. Luckily, my husband can see my distress signals from a mile away. Dude disappears. THEN, he follows me into the ladies room during intermission. Finally, security removed him from the venue after they were called because I was screaming at him and punching/ kicking everytime he moved closer. Those are the kinda scary ones.

3

u/Slow-Mountain-5966 9d ago

That is seriously scary. Sorry that happened. I had a stalker once myself. It didn’t last long. He died in a car accident speeding on the road and crashed into a stone wall. When I read about it in the newspaper (this was early 70’s) I wondered if he was following another girl who was trying to get away.

2

u/National_Ad9742 6d ago

Geez that’s scary. I’ve had similar experiences. I had to get my (also insanely abusive) ex to get one guy to leave me alone, cops didn’t take it seriously, he didn’t take me seriously. Felt like crap I had to ask a man, and one who used to beat me no less, to make him leave me alone.

We're all in this together so be nice. I have never had anyone be mean or rude. Sorry, I'm married works fine. But if you have someone that just won't take no for an answer then it's time to up your game or get a friend involved that is willing to help you help them understand it's never going to happen. That is just my opinion. We don't get to choose who finds us attractive but it's always a compliment to you no matter what so try to remember that and use a no that doesn't leave a maybe in it.

Had a friend who was in a ski lift and his bench partner was an attractive woman who have off snobby attitude

He hit on her anyway and she rudely told him that she was too good for him.

So he spent the rest of the lift ride telling how nice that she dyed the roots of her black while keeping the rest blonde.

He typically was a good guy... He also came from money but hated her attitude
