Getting Older More Interest?

I’m 33 but have noticed more flirting and attention from women generally (of course not all the time) both young and older (19-40ish). Married women, engaged women...

Maybe just better at picking up on it but when I was in my early/mid 20s I swear this didn’t happen.

I’m married. I think that’s probably the reason, sounds about right!

Not fair is it? Women flirting with you because you're married and can't (or shouldn't) flirt back let alone ask them out?

I've never been married but the same happened to me when I've been in committed relationships. Heavy flirting because I was "safe." Sometimes I called their bluff by asking them out. When they scolded me for asking because I already had a girlfriend I scolded them for flirting with a guy who already had a girlfriend.:cool:

As you get older, you incidentally reveal yourself to women as either being a Loser- or someone who is going someplace.
You reveal yourself as either a fukboy- or a man who can make a commitment.

As you get into your 30's women can better assess your mating potential by whether you have a real career, whether you are willing to have kids, whether Other women have been willing to take the risk of relationship with you and a whole host of other clues that women are selecting for in mating choice.

Some women who have a safe relationship will nevertheless want to have a child with another man and the best candidate would be someone who might have the means to support the child should her primary relationship.

Some women are looking for a bigger better deal, and if you seem a better bet, they are not unwilling to break up a marriage.

And some women just feel safe flirting with a married guy- and yet- they are basically trying to identify potential future mates should Your marriage fall thru.

When you were younger- any woman showing interest in you was making a wild guess on whether you would end up a solid citizen, or a perpetual party boy or video game couch dweller.
Lots of young women are just looking for a fun guy or good time... which you might not have been.
But as they get older, women become more serious about looking for these indicators of stability and security.
