replicator Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 To make a long story short, I'm 30 years old and was in a relationship between 19 to 29 with one girl - the one I thought I'd marry. It's been several months since we parted ways, but I'd like to date again soon, but have no idea where to start. Now that I've hit 30, it seems like all the good women my age are taken (no offense to those here that are 30+, I'm sure there are exceptions!), and the opportunities are sparse to meet quality women. I have some emotional baggage from the last relationship, but I think that's to be expected. I finished school late because I changed majors, and racked up a nice student loan which I'm just about done paying off, but I don't have much saved. I'm educated and have a decent career, but the impression I get from women my age is that they want someone really established that makes more money than I do (80 to 90K). It seems that finances take center stage at this age for women. I find that I don't cross paths with many women at all now, while it seemed like girls were everywhere when I was in a relationship. My weekly schedule is basically work 9 to 7, then studying the afternoons, and the gym a few times a week. I partied every weekend for the past several months with friends, I think as a form of escape - but I'm just tired of that lifestyle and that's going to stop as of now. Just not interested in the majority of women that go clubbing or to bars, it's such a waste of time and money. Where is the best place to find quality single women when you're 30 and out in the working world?
jerbear Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Try doing some non-profit work in an issue that you might be interests in. It could be business education in schools to building houses like Habitat for Humanity. You can even give a weekend morning to a soup kitchen to feed the poor for instance. I've met some interesting people along the way.
