When I would younger, I never was really unable to pickup a girl but I had to work at it and it was usually me doing the work. It seems like I have gotten hit on/flirted with way more now that I am married and a little older. I am 39, and in great shape physically (comes from being a firefighter and rancher) but I consider myself to be average looking. I am starting to have a little bit of white hair in my temples and a bit of widow's peak. Sometimes I am kind of oblivious and my wife points mild flirting out to me. Other times when she is not there I notice it and I flirt back though never do anything physical.

What made me decide to post this is something that happened today. I have been moving cattle to some of our high mountain summer pasture. I stopped in a little mountain town (really not even a town... just a few business and houses) to grab a burger and fries for lunch at a small café/diner. This little "town" apparently doesn't care about the social distance stuff because I was able to grab a stool up at the front counter and eat there which is the first time I have done something like that in around six months. Anyway, the waitress was probably about 23-25 with a slim athletic build, brown hair and the cutest face and green eyes. Anyway, there was only one other couple in there having lunch at a table and she came over and started talking to me. She was overly friendly and kind of flirty though no real innuendos or anything like that. I stayed a little longer than I would have because I was enjoying myself. When I finally said I had to get on the road and paid she winked when she handed me the receipt. I turned did not notice until I went to put it in the center console of my truck that she had written her phone number and "call me" on the back.

This is a more blatant example than usual but I definitely seem to be more attractive to women (younger, my age, and even a little older) now than I used to be when I was younger. Has anyone else noticed a similar phenomenon? Any fun stories? Mine is kind of mild but it is about the most exciting I have to tell on this topic without making something up.
