Midlife crisis or just a perv?

“Ok heres the deal, I'm working at cashwrap #2- the BIG womens department last night covering someones break when a middle-aged male customer comes up and slides a piece of paper over with a phone number on it to me..."Call me anytime"...

What is it with these older guys flirting with me? It's like almost everynight! Except for the fat guy who works in the paint department downstairs, they are all way older them me ARGH! It wouldnt be so bad if they were younger. But sheesh Its not like I look older-most people tell me I look young.

I'm tired of feeling like a piece of meat! If I want that I'll go hang out at the bars.


Sorry- just venting.”

“It's the nature of guys hikingirl. What is middle aged to you? 30's, 40's, 50's?

Tell em to buzz off,and or rip the number up in his face. That'll make em' stop.

BTW - you can email me anytime to join you at the bars.

lol!”

“Middle aged= the start of gray hair.”

“reminiscent of newgirl! what was that thread called...?”

“It's because our fat bellies and addled brains are so irresistable!”

“Sorry to hear that, but it's a little truth in our country today. I'd say most are looking fer some on the side and are perverts. Maybe, the next time it happens, you should say, loud, "Sorry, I don't date men my fathers age. Maybe you should try the local Middle School, you pervert!". If your managers get a little worried, say "Look, this guy gave me an unwanted sexual advance, I don't have to put up with that".

I think that will take care of yer problem.....”

“Unless they get more aggressive than giving you their number and asking you out, I'd just take it as a compliment and leave it at that.”

“Hey, stop flirting with us old guys, Hikingirl!”

“Hikingirl - seeing as that your still just a teenager (or at least, I think you mentioned you were 17 in another thread?), it's downright inappropriate for older men to be hitting on you like that.

My advice would be to not lead them on in anyway. If anybody starts coming up to you more than once and becomes a nuisance, don't hesitate to contact the authorities.”

“I guess I'm middle aged at 31, so I'm gonna die at 62. Damn!

I know a guy who is 55, and is constantly hitting on women that are 21,22, etc. It is pretty sick if ya ask me. He is always calling me to go out, so when I meet the younger women, he can move in. Needless to say, I don't hang out with him too much, but it goes to show you that many guys that age are total pervs.”

“Hey Hikingirl. I will be 48 next Thursday and my hair hasn't gone gray yet. Does that make me a youngin'?

lol”

“So Buddha, which Congressman is it?”

“It was the second time for this guy but most I see only once. If he comes in again I certainly will! A lot of that stuff goes on there and it makes me feel down right uncomfterble.”

“17! Hell, call me or Artex, and we'll kick the dude's a$$ for ya. Was his name RKelly or Pete Townshend by any chance?”

“Kennedy?”

“In some things enthusiasm counts more then experiance :}”

“Are you one of those trolls?”

“with a daughter who is 14, she tells me all the time about guys hitting on her. I see red when she tells me, but she has learnd to handle herself very well. (anyone that has met her will tell you)
Jsut smile and say No thank you.
It will continue no matter what your age.
So grin and deal with it.
Men will be men, but dont allow them to cross that line, stand up for yourself!”

“Good luck and be careful. You shouldn't have to feel uncomfortable, especially at your job. It might be a good idea to also let your manager know about your situation.

And if it means becoming a rip-roaring b%$#^ to scare them off, then don't hold back! :-)”

“Tell your manager that your aunt is a lawyer. :)”

“Hey Hikingirl. I will be 48 next Thursday and my hair hasn't gone gray yet. Does that make me a youngin'?

lol"

Treebeard must use hair coloring for men.”

“he must cause ive been trying for 16 years to turn that hair grey, and still nothing.

where is my recognition??”

“I ain't giving in yet. And, I've never colored my hair in my life.

So, ppffffffttttttt!!!!”

“Oh yeah! And if all else fails, what Buddha Bear said, we'll come down and open some cans of whup a$$! We'se a couple of big dudes, him and I. :-)”

“Yeah! What Artex said! And maybe afterwards, we can take you out for a drink*

*(if you are over 21, single and hot)”

“Tell them to WATCH OUT! Crack Puppy gonna git 'em!!”

“just offer to take him hiking, then leave his a$$ on a 5000 ft mt top. in 20 degree weather. he will never bother you again”

“LOL Thanks guys :) You cheered me up all right!”

“Im more of a troglidyte (sp?) then a troll :}”

“Rigth! And watch out for Buddha Bear Kennedy, too!

j/k”

“Maybe you can pick up a few bucks.”

“I'm just kidding hikingirl. Good luck with your situation, and don't be afraid to take me and Artex up on the a$$ kicking offer.

lol!”

“Be careful who ya take to the mountain tho, It might be me :D”

“middle aged at 29 I guess. Drat those gray hairs!

Just tell them "no thanks". People will be asking you to do things you don't want to for the rest of your life Hikingirl. "No thank you" will take care of most of it. Plain old "NO!" will most likely take care of the rest.”

“Limpy, I don't know wheather to laugh or cry at that statement!”

“"just offer to take him hiking, then leave his a$$ on a 5000 ft mt top. in 20 degree weather. he will never bother you again"




Good Idea but our mountains are much higher than that...I'd leave him stranded at 11,000 ft :)”

“In the end try to be happy they are looking, It wont last forever...”

“Dirtyoldman why should i be happy about some old perv drooling over me? Its degrading!”

“Oh well. See you all latter- I have a bike to ride and it aint rainy or foggy.”

“Well its better then the other way... no one looking”

“If a guy is in his 40's or 50's why is he a prev if he wants to date a woman in her 20's or 30's. Look around you will see a lot of that and it works both ways. I have seen women date men a lot younger than they were.
If the person doesn't want to date them all they have to do is say NO.

Now for a guy in his 40's and 50's dipping into the teens then that is wrong.

Buddha Bear, were you jealous the old guy was getting the girls and you weren't. That is probably why you quit hanging around with him.”

“there is a 11 year difference with treebeard and myself. I love that he is older.

treebeard you dirty old man!!!”

“Dirty Old Man? Maybe. But I still don't have grey hair!”

“I think the latter situation is the one that's occurring here, Ewker. I vote for perv, personally. If a guy in his 40's or 50's is trying to date an adult, that's one thing. We may consider it ridiculous, but it's not wrong. A guy that age who consistently hits on underage teens has a problem though.”

“Being a perv is bad?”

“Bit, I agree with what you said but someone else said that a guy was a prev if he was 40 or 50 and hitting on female 21 or older.”

“Not if it only involves consenting adults...”

“I just happen to think of a guy I went to high school with. By age 21 his hair was totally gray..so i guess he was out of hikingirl's range.”
