Bees round a honeypot? I dont know the correct expression really.

I cant go into detail. But I know a middle aged woman, who attracts men[not in a sexual way]. But women can see straight through her. She is manipulative but the men cant see it.

I dont know if there is advice exactly. But I would be interested in your experiences, if you have come across this, just to get some further insight.

Many years ago I worked with a lovely girl. Very attractive with long blonde hair, big blue eyes and skirts that were little more than belts. Her job meant she had to drive all over the country in a little minivan which was limited to 40 mph. Obviously she was always being pulled up for speeding, but she never ever got a ticket. A toss of the blonde hair, a flutter of the eyelashes and the skirt hitched up another couple of inches, and off she would go with a pat on the head.

When my children were still growing up I met someone on a PTA committee she was one of the those people who were good at organising and had contacts in everything, after a while she took over the running of most things and everyone thought she was wonderful including parents, staff, head teacher and it turned out my then husband. Several years later i discovered they were having an affair and long story short we divorced after 20yrs (although it would probably of happened without her input) and within 2yrs she divorced her husband and they got married.
I did have the last laugh though as he was already a functioning alcoholic and their marriage only lasted 2yrs before she'd had enough. One day I was watching breakfast television on ITV and blow me down there she was with her new husband doing an interview about internet romances they had married abroad and he looked like a very wealthy older man.

I had an aunt who was still attracting men in her 80's if we went to a pub they were all round her.

When she eventually went into a home she managed to bag the only man in the place. They didn't stop. At playing cards either very embarrassing for her family. Think her secret was she was never boring and usually made you laugh
