[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I enjoyed dating in my 30s. I got married when I was 34.  I spent my 20s partying/learning who I am and had a lot of casual hookups along the way... I had to figure out who I was and what i wanted before i was ready for a serious relationship.

I found the quality of men that I met in my 20s and 30s to be just the same, to be honest.  Some awesome, some terrible, some dogs.  Some with good jobs, some with no career prospects whatsoever.

I met quite a few successful men via online dating when I was in my 30s.  Men who spent their 20s getting an education and building up their careers.[/quote]

Keep in mind that life is long (usually) and people can many ups and downs, at different periods of their life.

I know that sounds obvious, but I often see a lot of focus on "successful by x age." Don't forget that the average lifespan is nearly 80 years. What someone is like, and how "successful" they are at age 20-40, may be quite different than age 50-70+. It's common for people to have a lot of early success and then just go sideways for many years, until they are laid off, or run into health issues, and never fully recover. A LOT of successful men (and women) burn out, or simply have a change of perspective and no longer are interested in maintaining their status and lifestyle.

Always focus more on the person, and their habits, rather than just their current situation, which can be the result of a lot of things, and can change over time.
