AT what age should you stop looking at a beautiful woman in the street?

So I was pretty good with the ladies in my twenties and thirties , especially abroad. The dark blue eyes and English accent seem to be enough to get a conversation going.
Now, in ones 40s I understood I could still look but dont touch and not so much action likely. In my 50s it's not going well, very much dont look, or touch, which is rather depressing. I still chat them up in a nice way out and about but but single guys in their 50s seem to register more of a threat to women out and about now. They even pull their kids behind them or clutch their purse if you smile too long. I suppose mature women at that age are done with dating or long since withered by marriage and resigned to routine. i love to tell women they are beautiful and intelligent . I dont think they believe me.
I think in the modern age the media is making women more fearful of men through things like social media, lifestyle TV and feminist leaning podcasts. The world is changing around mature dating. Everything is 'hooking up' through dating and social apps these days which young people seem far more adept at and look better on with all those filters and stuff. To put it bluntly - if you dont look good in your photos you are done for in this decade. I really do wonder how any of it will be real online with A.I being able to recreate people with incredible detail and how that will skew online dating. Will people just meet, date and shag in virtual worlds ? Save on splitting the bill at a restaurant tor dancing like an idiot to impress in a club. by the way if she wants to split the bill you ain't getting any dessert lets say.
Be interesting to hear from women on here of all ages what they feel about mature men finding them attractive out and about. Is casual conversation just awkward for you? Do you just not feel attractive anymore? Is the thought of unwrapping for sex in your 50s truly terrifying. Is it all over for us in our 50s.lol.

I always appreciated to receive a compliment from a man, it did not matter the age. I am no more young, but I am really happy when a man says that I am still a beautiful attractive woman. At least my husband is no more as jealous as he used to be.

I'm in my late 40s now and I still look at beautiful women but never been attracted to one. Love appreciating beautiful women. But most of the women I find beautiful, men weren't really attracted to.
Anyways, in my 20sr, I stayed away from gorgeous men especially those with blue eyes and an English accent lol. I only get attracted to men with brains. Physical appearance never really mattered to me including age. In fact, in my 30s, I flirted with older men, stayed away from younger men.

In a nutshell, I just don't care. If someone says something to me, I'll thank them. If they push it, I am very glad and happy to inform them I'm married.

To be honest, I have always enjoyed compliments from both men and women. It’s always good for the soul. My husband doesn’t mind men looking at me, but hates it when they ogle. Fortunately, he’s the silently jealous type. I’m an old bag now, but still appreciate the occasional compliment, a little tiny bit of flirting, and unfortunately, no touching

@thedevilinme I am certain you would have a lot of luck there. Miami would be a much better option for you.

I will just skip to the last sentence of your post.
Definitely not, as.part of a couple
But it might be if I had been single
I don't think I would like the single life now
