[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, if you're much over 35, there just aren't a ton of available guys out there in the wild to meet. Meeting people was easy before 35. After that? Soooo hard. I go out to bars/restaurants and the majority of guys are half my age. I do get hit on, but the guys hitting on me are usually 15-20 years younger and that's kind of weird.

The last few guys I went on dates with seemed cool but then literally talked about themselves the entire time, and never really asked anything about me. That's kind of a turnoff. [/quote]

I think this is very true. People seem to pair up by a certain age and it gets harder past 35. Where you live makes a huge difference too. I lived in a small southern town with few good jobs. The pool of guys gainfully employed was small and girls would be all over them even if they were married. Lots of women there married guys who were awful, ie abusive, cheaters, etc just because you couldn’t find better.

where you work in your 20s to early 30s matters a lot. I worked in a male dominated field and got to meet lots of well educated single great guys. One Fed agency I worked for was the kiss of death for anyone who wanted marriage. The culture was very family unfriendly and the chances for advancement were enticing. People would sacrifice their lives to move up the chain. This would have been one of the hardest places to work if you had kids and didn’t have a parent with a flexible schedule. I’d never seen so many lonely, never married with few relationships , 50 and up coworkers. [/quote]
