[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ironic thing is that men in their 30s could probably write the same things [/quote]

Do you know the meaning of irony? That's not ironic at all. It's just a fact that for both sexes, there's a lot of odd people in the dating pool at that age. [/quote]

NP but I wouldn’t expect a lot of “odd” people in their 30s...it’s still young...lots of single people without baggage.. But I just think there are lots of odd people *in general* and online dating puts them in your path when you might not normally meet in your day-to-day life.[/quote]

DP here. I met DH in my early 30's, and the pickings were getting noticeably slimmer by then. I agree with pp that lots of the good catches men and women marry in their 20's. People who really want to get married and have kids feel the pressure when they're approaching 30. Most of the ones still available at 35+ are damaged goods.[/quote]

I don’t think that’s true of women.[/quote]

Disagree.  A good portion of the over 30 unmarried women have issues of one type of another as well. Overt-picky or fear of commitment. Often they chase guys who aren’t into them for years and years in a low self esteem cycle. [/quote]

This. I used to think it was just bad luck with guys screwing them over, but now the ones I know are in their 40's now and repeating the same cycles. Some of these women have a lot to offer - intelligent, attractive, good jobs, well dressed, and fun to hang out with, but I'm seeing that there's a self esteem issue that's holding them back. It's a little more than self esteem though, and there's definitely of a confidence issue combined with picking fatally flawed men.[/quote]
