[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I look at my never-married 35+ friends, the common denominator is that they all wasted too much of their prime dating years (early to late 20s) in dead-end relationships. These women are kind, attractive, employed, and it's not that they have crazy high standards, it's that the vast majority of same-age men are either already off the market or wanting to date younger. [/quote] Yeah that’s a rough time for women until you start getting a lot older. Options are basically date older - a guy age 43+ if you’re 35 most likely and then adjust from there. Date blue collar instead of white collar. Or date YOUNGER especially if the woman is financially in decent condition. I have a friend who was married young, divorced young with a kid. She has a really decent job as a middle school principal in a medium COL area and is quite pretty (I’m sure that fact is important). She recently remarried to a guy about 10 years younger who is a fitness trainer and amateur athlete. Ages 37/27ish. He loves being a stepdad, kid’s bio dad is barely in the picture, and they haven’t closed the door on having a kid together either. [/quote] +1. It’s definitely a numbers game. Only so many hot, nice, sex-positive women who don’t state their opinions to go around. Most men will have to give on something - average looking, moody, dead bedroom, feminist. Same for women. Only so many wealthy, generous, good looking, non maga men. Most women will have to give on income, asshatery, short/bald, or conservative views. It’s only the top 5% of each that get the whole package. The vast majority of men don’t marry gorgeous women. And the vast majority of women don’t marry the seven figure income men. Many educated women insist on marry a man with a degree. With 60% of college students female, women will be left out if they don’t marry men with a degree. With the obesity epidemic in America, the majority of women are overweight. Men will have to marry larger women or they will be left out. The people who don’t realize this remain single. [/quote]
