You know your getting old when the ladies dont pay much attention to you like they use to when you were young, your no longer "EYE CANDY" to the ladies, your not a young buck anymore
now they see you as the "Old man" or Gramps
Away from all the jokes, this really is a sign of getting older. I noticed in my forties that I became all but invisible to women in their 20s. Nothing wrong with that, I don't blame them, but it was a weird thing to see that they were looking past me; whereas, before, you could feel some of them, occasionally, "checking you out," or you'd get a very light flirtatious look or some recognition or sign or comment.
But that attention has been replaced by women in their 40s who now do, occasionally (believe me, heads aren't snapping when I walk in a room, but if you have enough interaction, you do get some responses from certain age groups), lightly flirt, etc. I'm now 51 and the range just keeps shifting up as women in their early 30s are looking through me and those in their early 50s have brought me into their airspace.
It's all kinda funny, but definitely a signpost of aging.
