If old ladies say I'm handsome does that mean I am?

Girls my age don't compliment me, just old ladies?

Like when I go get my haircut they tell me I'm handsome and my older female coworkers tell me that too, and touch me sometimes.

i don't understand how this works. :/

I'm 20 by the way. Now how do I get girls my age? :(

I don't know how much you have experienced this, but it's probably the best compliment you could receive besides being complimented by the girl you like. Older women, whether a middle aged woman or beyond, you can bet that they have experienced their fair share of boys and men. Having an older woman compliment you should be a very uplifting thing because I trust them tons more than girls my age. Girls my age still don't have nearly the experience in life that older women do. So to have a woman who has her experiences in the world still compliment you, then you really have something going for you.

You also have to understand that younger girls don't have a very solid foundation in their self-esteem yet, and won't have that until their late 20's or early 30's, if ever at all. They aren't going to be as likely to say something to you as say an older woman would. If you get more compliments from older people, then it could be that they really see something and feel like telling you, while the younger girls also see it but feel too afraid to talk to you.

So I'll say it once more: feel very flattered by an older woman giving you a compliment. They are society's mothers and I feel more trust in them than younger women.

With girls appearence is not enough. I've been called good looking by older women, 1 attractive girl my age, and at 24 approaching 25 never had 1 date let alone relationship.
