Brady_to_Moss Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 You're both wrong. Everyone, both men and women, age 22-28 are taken. After that, everyone is married. I am 20..so i got 2 years to find someone..or i am giving up:bunny:
jennifer4 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 It's so different for me! I am 37 and meet guys who are younger all the time!! I try to be open minded but a 21 yr old and myself don't have too much in common. I have a hard time meeting available guys in their 30's or 40's... Ugh. what's a woman to do? LOL
Starshine Black Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Isolde, it's possible you're just too damn good looking. Seriously, I'm not being sarcastic. And jennifer, whats a woman to do? Date one of the 21 year olds lmao.
CaliGuy Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Women like guys who already have a gal..... Abso-frikken-lutely.
jennifer4 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Starshine Black. Well I didn't date a 21 yr old, but we did do some things... Ugh. I do regret it but hey, it was good even though he's young.
shadowplay Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 this is true, and I get annoyed when people say "you're just being defeatist." I don't know a single attractive guy in my age range who isn't taken. In fact most of the average/unattractive guys are I know are taken as well. I suppose this might be different in a city, but for the next year I'm stuck with a medium sized, rural college town. Most of the guys I know are post-grad or in graduate school. At this point whenever I meet an attractive guy I just assume he has a girlfriend because 90% of the time he does. I don't even bother flirting because I don't want to be inappropriate. The ones without girlfriends are usually commitment phobes who have a harem of f-buddies.
shadowplay Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Believe me, it's not like I haven't thought of that. The truth is, though, that I've turned down but a handful of guys in my life, and all for justified reasons. I haven't been asked out in about a year, if that clears things up for you at all. I'm in exactly the same boat, Isolde. It's an issue of supply. I'm a bit shy, but I've become a lot friendlier than I once was. I don't think that's the main problem anymore.
Green Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Its called love. And its a magic thing so just stop worying about it.
D-D Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I'm a 25 year old single male! Just had a date this past week, and got the "I have to check my schedule and get back to you" line when I called this weekend to set up the second date. Figures.....happens everytime I think the date went well and I like the girl. So I hear your frustration. Hopefully, someday, we'll both find someone!

Isolde, Will you go out with me?
BobSacamento Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I'd have to agree. When I was college it was insane for someone to be in a relationship. It seems like when you get out of college the supply of single people seems to diminish. So when you do find one, you kind of latch onto them for fear of never finding another one haha.
monkey00 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I'm 25 and have been single for quite a while. Tons of single people in their 20's I'm sure, finding them/meeting them is another part of the story.
Soul Bear Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I'm 24 and now single. The next woman to get a hold of me will be a lucky one!!
fabulous_chk Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I'm 27 and single and I find lots and lots of single men in my area! It's raining men on me. I think when you stop looking for love and just want to have fun people get attracted to that and will flock around you. And I'm not beautiful but I do have an interesting face. And a naughty attitude about life! Be a fun person to be with! I was out with men friends 8 guys and I was the only girl in the group - and even with that kind of barrier men approached me at the club and wanted to date me. Flirt, don't take anyone or yourself seriously, and be happy!
MN randomguy Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I feel like twentysomething guys are always in relationships. It seems like older guys are more likely to be married, but also more likely to be single and not in a relationship...... Might there be some truth to this? It seems to be pretty consistent across cities and regions... How reasonable is this thought mathematically? If the population is 50/50, wouldn't that mean that unless these guys are dating out of their age range... All of the women in that age range are taken. Are all of the guys you want to date in a relationship??? Possibly. But, I would venture that a lot of these highly attractive men are stringing along multiple girls. More-so than girls having multiple Boyfriends.

I don't even bother flirting because I don't want to be inappropriate. I could have written this. I also think this of guys I find only somewhat attractive physically but are interesting and kind.

Brady_to_Moss Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Maybe you should lower your standards. You should never lower your standards just becasue you havent found someone..its like giving up. I am only going to try and score 10 next game becase i know i cant score 20..F that...go for 100

Author Isolde Posted August 16, 2009 Author Posted August 16, 2009 Isolde, it's possible you're just too damn good looking. Seriously, I'm not being sarcastic. While I'm considered "cute," I'm certainly not THAT attractive. I think this line of thinking is a cop out, for anyone. Completely unproductive.

I think when you stop looking for love and just want to have fun people get attracted to that and will flock around you. It's good to hear a different side to the story. I do go out to have fun and in these scenarios I do flirt sometimes but I don't see this is a way to get to actually know people, for several reasons. In any other setting, I assume guys are taken, based not only on intuition but on the signals they give out.
monkey00 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 While I'm considered "cute," I'm certainly not THAT attractive. I think this line of thinking is a cop out, for anyone. Completely unproductive. Whether you think you're cute, beautiful, or hot just remember it is all relative. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Isolde, you seem like a person with a good head on their shoulders, intelligent, attractive, intuitive, and wise for your age. After all your threads I'm still honestly stumped as to why you have a difficulty meeting the right guy for you. While it is a common stereotype for women to be passive and wait for the guy to ask her out. It's also good to be proactive in the social realm. You'll only increase your chances of meeting a guy if you place yourself in situations where you're constantly meeting new people. Don't you think?

And as for the last paragraph, absolutely, and I've been working on this for a while now.
