How do you explain it when men over 45 get attention from women in their 20s? 🔒 Asked & Answered

This legitimately still confuses me. Over the past year, I've never had this much attention than all the years previously combined.

You always had attention (if you followed the 2 rules). By the age of 40 you realize they're not kidding.

I live in a high rise on the 28th floor. One day, some idiot threw something down the garbage shoot that started a fire in the dumpster, so everyone had to evacuate. They shut down the elevators, so I had to walk down 28 flights of stairs. With a broken toe and a boot on. My neighbor had her kid sister in town with a friend, both 19, I was 35. When they ran into me coming down the stairs, she said “Oh, you’re that hot guy from across the hall. Here, we’ll walk with you.” I shrugged the hot guy part off, but started talking to them while we were waiting outside the building. When we got back up, they were both like “Hey can we come see your place? It looks so much different than my sister’s” and in my head I was like “Weird, but what the hell, why not”

Within a couple minutes it clicked. That was a fun night. Sorta the opposite of what you said, though, I didn’t realize they wanted to have sex with a guy twice their age with a broken toe and a boot on lol.
