krissy1989f Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 That's just really dumb to say. I'M SORRY. I'm only 22 but I know many 30 year old women who are single for many different reasons and they are all great women! Heck, my mom didnt meet "the one" until she was in her 50s ... try to be a little more open minded
Pyro Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 this thread is a blatant attempt to start a huge war of words between everyone. By posting all that we are doing is keeping the OP entertained. Any one with a brain knows that what the OP's opinion of women over 30 are is nothing more than his own opinion and holds pretty much zero truth. 8
henderson14 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I think it depends on where you live. If you are in a major city like New York or Chicago, then it is more acceptable and in many cases normal. I also think that a lot of people think that if a guy is over 30 and single that something is wrong.
somedude81 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Why? Maybe theyre just extremely shy or the opposite sex isnt attracted to them Being extremely shy especially at 30+ is a sign of something being very wrong. That's just really dumb to say. I'M SORRY. I'm only 22 but I know many 30 year old women who are single for many different reasons and they are all great women! Heck, my mom didnt meet "the one" until she was in her 50s ... try to be a little more open minded How can you not meet the right one till your 50's?

Heck, my mom didnt meet "the one" until she was in her 50s ... try to be a little more open minded If a woman is staying single past her prime even though she doesn't really want to, then she's standing in her own way. She's being unrealistic as to what's expected of a potential partner. Women have all this dating power but yet fails to utilize it properly and it takes until she's past her prime to wake up and smell the coffee. By then, it only gets harder to land that special man because he's off the market in most cases, and the woman's dating power declines from then on out. 1
lino Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I don't really agree with the OP but if a woman is in her 30s and someone who is constantly dating and hopping from relationship to relationship then, thanks but no thanks. I'm personally very turned off by those that live a ' sex and the city ' type lifestyle.
Disenchantedly Yours Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I just turned 30 last year so this doesnt apply to me but with women this is a different story from my own experiences. noticing women in this age I met are alcoholics, have multiple kids and no daddy helping out, or just old trust issues. its okay if she's 20+ and single but going in her 30s is a huge red flag Im sorry. Of course it doesn't apply to you.

Quiet Storm Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I don't think it means something wrong. There are many single, emotionally healthy women in their 30s that would make great partners. I do think that women seriously underestimate the value of their youth, from a man's perspective. I think many women are told when they are young to focus on themselves. They focus on their education, they focus on their careers, with the intent of settling down when they are "established". What many women don't anticipate is that the pool of available men shrinks, because many men (not all) are attracted to younger women. Not always because of looks, but also because of their fertility. (I understand that a man's fertility declines as well, but from the man's perspective, one less fertile partner is better than BOTH partners with declining fertility). Many men in their 30s are already married or committed, and many of the remaining ones are focusing on younger women. There are still men out there that want women in their age group, though, just not as many. 2

mesmerized Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I think many women are told when they are young to focus on themselves. They focus on their education, they focus on their careers, with the intent of settling down when they are "established". Education and career lasts forever and it ensures you a comfortable life. Can you really say that about a man? No, not in this day and age where half of the marriages have an expiry date and a high percentage of the other half are miserable. 2

carhill Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Well, we do have this from the OP: http://www.loveshack.org/forums/romantic/dating/290280-all-good-looking-women-self-entitled And he lists himself as an undertaker. I'd opine things are matching up pretty well. Best wishes in finding the exception or perhaps farming the 20's group for more compatible prospects.

He might find some willing dating prospects among his … clients. Many of them will be over 30, though.
Woggle Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I don't believe this but I do think that if a person of either gender is nearing 40 and still seems incapable of having a healthy relationship then in many cases they never will be able to. They have the same issues now that they did ten years ago.

If you think being a Funeral Director hinders a man's dating life, you're out of the loop. I know a young guy in that profession that cant keep all the sexy young woman off of him. He's actually on my facebook page with a pretty young girl straddling him at every turn.
D-Lish Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 I'm just over 40 and I was married at one point in my life. I haven't had a long term relationship since my divorce over 10 years ago. My focus changed, my belief in a story-book ending changed. Am I damaged goods at this point? Maybe. I do hold that self destructive belief at this point.

Woggle Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Everybody has some scars but most people are not damaged beyond the point of repair. The thing is that people to admit their flaws and work on themselves and many people are not prepared to do that.
D-Lish Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 aren't we all? I'm 25 and im damaged goods I hope you can snap out of this belief. Me being almost 20 years older than you makes a difference in how I view the world. My focus is now all on work, I've given up on love. You shouldn't be at that point given your younger age.
Woggle Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Maybe it is better if she learns it at a younge age instead of having to wait long.
Nightsky Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Like others have said this thread has no point other than to anger people. I think something's wrong if you think being a single or not defines a person. 2
FitChick Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 If you think being a Funeral Director hinders a man's dating life, you're out of the loop. It's a recession proof business.
