[quote=Anonymous]I imagine it would be because if you're dating in your 30s it's for two reasons:

1. You previously were married and are now divorced, possibly with kids, and back on the market. Your cachet has gone down now that you are a divorcee with children in the picture, so your pool of men who are willing to date you is pretty shallow, and many of them will also be divorced with kids, which complicates things.

2. You have never been married, but are reaching the age at which you want to be and are thinking seriously about your fertility and long-range planning. This means you no longer have the freedom to just date a guy for awhile and then end it if it doesn't suit you anymore. You're now dating for a PURPOSE and can't waste your time on dude bros because they're at least fun or cute or good in bed- you really don't have the time to waste anymore. So you become more focused, more picky, and maybe more intense as a result- you're no longer the fun girl who's just down to hang. You are actively seeking a partner. Which can be intimidating for men.

Add to that that men in their mid-late 30s and are single/childless usually are in that predicament because they have Peter Pan Syndrome and don't particularly want to settle down and have kids or they're just total duds nobody else wanted, and there you have it.[/quote]
