[quote=Anonymous]Lack of dating/relationships is a real issue and common point of discussion among my friends with girls ranging from late teens to early 30's. Those who formed relationships in college are faring better - able to focus on career and friends. All others are relying on and disillusioned by online dating and setups. I have 3 single neices in 20's/early 30's - beautiful with great jobs who can't meet anyone.  I have 2 sons. One met a girl at company (bc when working IB hours, who else can u meet?). Anyway, they got together after a company event and had to keep to keep the relationship a secret for 2 years! Girl was senior by 1 year and would have looked bad. (For those who say women can ask guys out- these days, women can also be accused of harassment/abuse of power.) Son's next relationship was with a girl at another company and kept secret for a year before got engaged (this time he was more senior). Given the challenges i hear from friends and family, post college dating is very complicated these days. It is ironic that as many women ascend in power and earning status, their relationship opportunities are narrowing. I have several peers who had kids on their own. They wanted a relationship and also wanted kids, but hadn't met anyone by their late 30's. Fortunately they had family to support childcare needs but it's not ideal. Unfortunately, I think this trend may continue.[/quote]
