What are the most common ways women waste their 20s?

I don't think there's a lot of women wanting to meet older men, who are unable to do so anymore

If that's the case then society has fixed this issue. When I was in high school and college I had no way of meeting people older.

I think back in the day there were community dances and the like or friends of the family where you might meet someone a bit older.

What are the most common mistakes women make that waste the “best” relationship-building years, and how would you advise Gen Z women to not repeat these mistakes? Or if this was you, what advice would you give your younger self?

I’ll start: I always wanted a relationship, but could not move on easily from rejection and breakup and wasted precious months moving over failed romances. I also wasted time trying to change the minds of men who just wanted casual sex. I had been exposed to too much online misogyny and believed that if I held out and proved that I was “not that kind of girl” and that I was the type you would marry, not just sleep with, instead of just ignoring the guys who had this mentality. The best advice to my 25 year old self would be to move on, and move on faster.

Two things:

- I stayed too long with one guy who I knew was not a good match for me. Nothing wrong with him. We just were not compatible. But, I liked the stability of a relationship and was in it too long. I probably missed out on a guy who I was seeing a big before him and was a much better match.
-VERY early 20's . . . first love. Cheated on me. Took him back. We went back and forth for years. He disrespected me badly. But, I let him. I learned a lot from that but I wish I hadn't wasted 3 years figuring it out.

I really don't know how young people meet up these days. I graduated college at the beginning of the internet.

At big public’s, college classes do. Mine had a lot of former military guys who were relatively young—about 24.
