It's my natural tendency to be friendly to "tradesmen" or anybody that finds themselves in the vicinity of my bloody awful desolate house. But these people always think "I'm coming on to them" I mean the latest one is a tiny wrinkled chappy of about 5 feet. This has always happened to me. My friend says "well, you shouldn't be so sexy" but honest lyrics I'm not. It's a bloody insult! Who do these guys think they are?? (Wouldn't much nd so much if they were fishy and good husband material)

If they were fishy Wot , then maybe you might find your "sole" mate! 
Tell us more. 
What did the little wrinkled chap actually say to you?
I'm all ears! I'm agog. And slightly 
Well sadly, if this happens a lot , then the odds are you are coming across too friendly . Maybe you just need to tone it down , if their attention is unwanted then it's up to you to set the tone.
What sort of comfort were you expecting by the way
Where is your house? 
Why is it "bloody awful desolate"? Do you live somewhere in the middle of the North York Moors? Or under a mountain in Scotland?
PS I got wolf-whistled at when I was 65. Obviously the bloke was blind. I looked around thinking there must be a young woman around but there wasn't. I'm a feminist but, I have to say, that builder (well, you knew it was a builder, didn't you?) made my day. Why not just enjoy the attention you say you are getting? You're probably old enough to know how to deal with it with no hurt feelings.
What???
Oh! I think something has dawned on me. 
Strong coffee anyone?
