Last year I was hit on by several men whom I later learned had wife & kids. They knew I was in a relationship, and didn't care.
I just ignored them, since I was not interested. Unlike them, I would not be in a relationship if I was not happy. But I didn't consider their interest in any way personal or a compliment, I figured they were just scum and willing to try their luck with any woman. I encountered a lot of scum in 2016.

When I gave a simple suggestions such as: take the cancelled checks, put them in a notebook and show the kid you are meeting your obligations, I was shot down. Not my business, but I still got to hear the whining.

On my list of deal-breakers is "prefers to whinge, not fix things." I'm not against having a bit of a moan, I often do that myself before I roll up my sleeves and address the problem. And some things take time to fix, some things can't be fixed, etc. But in general, I have no interest in a partner who doesn't deal with shit and get it done.

I seem to get the older men hitting on me too, unfortunately. Of if there is a 'younger then old geezer' guy, half the time he's married, which is an absolute no go for me. First guy I ever got serious with turned out to be married with kids, didn't learn about it until later in the relationship, after I had really fallen for him.Quote

I've had my share of men here in FL particularly elderly men (eww) try to hit on me the worst time being at the YMCA when Mr. S and I had memberships. I tried everything to discourage these guys, including wearing headphones with music turned on really loud.
I suspect a number of men - especially married or taken men - are in a perpetual "Do I still got it" mode. They think they are gorgeous (even had a male co-worker refer to himself as such right in my face years ago at work; this guy was actually pretty ugly with his beak nose and Boris Karloff eyes) when they are not and actually turn women off.
What I can suggest for those who meet someone either in person or online, is to run a background check on them. It is very easy to run background checks nowadays online and is very cheap (20 to 30 bucks). It is worth it.
