>Young attractive women aren't afraid to talk to you like they were when you were younger. Ha, yes this is happening to me. Where before there would be tension and standoffishness, attractive young women rarely hesitate to talk with me now, particularly when I'm with my kids. I like it much better this way, since 99% of the time I really wasn't interested anyway. It always bugged me when physically attractive women assumed I would be interested in them. My physical ideal does not match the ideal of most of my fellow countrymen. To be clear, I've seen many physically attractive men behave the same way; indeed, my wife and I frequently joke about this now. In any case, it's a relief now to be able to just relate to people as fellow humans, without some sort of social expectations to live up to regarding our mutual attraction (or lack thereof, more often).
