[quote=Anonymous]OP - i don't think most people think about it in terms quite as severe as your friends put it (damaged goods....), but the reality is that the pools of both men and women dry up pretty quick after age 30.  So regardless of what they're thinking of you, it begs the question of what do you think about them?

I'm 40, and had to wrack my brain to think of people in my social circles who met their significant other after age 30.  I can think of one friend who did - he is quirky, and met a very quirky wife (she had been previously married). I think they will be happy together, and am not surprised given their quirkiness that they didn't find each other until mid thirties.  Another friend (divorced) ended up sort of cohabitating and making babies with another woman in our social circle --they were both around 35 or so.  Definitely an odd relationship. Not the kind of thing you dream about for your life when you're 22, but it totally works for them.  Other than that, i can't think of any friends who met their significant other after age 30.  I do, however, have a lot of friends who were single at age 30 and continue to be pretty perpetually single since then (10 years later).  I remember when my DH and i were in our early 30s, having a discussion about how, despite the world telling you that everyone eventually meets their special someone, we had a LOT of single friends ages 32-37 who it was pretty clear were probably going to stay single.  The people we were talking about (10 years ago) are all still single.  In fact, most had pretty dry dating lives in their 30s.

Point of that is, of course no man is going around blacklisting attractive women as "damaged goods" just because she is post 30.  That said, in my experience, the majority of single people at age 32 are unlikely to find a wonderful relationship.  They will either stay more single than not, or will end up in the kind of relationship that isn't where they imagined they'd end up.  [/quote]
