It's just kind of the way it is.

It changes when you get older though. Those guys are taken off the market, get married and have children.
Honestly, a lot of my tall good-looking friends stay single and do not commit. My friends are all late 20s to mid 30s. None of them have any interest in settling down.

I could think of one tall good-looking guy that settled down. His wife looks like a model and he is very socially awkward.

It was kind of like that for me too. Once you hit a certain age, most people will settle down in waves.

It's kind of sad, but most people over 40 I know don't look to date. They fall into a few camps:

1) (Typically men) who are unattractive and have had little success in their life, so don't see the point in putting in so much effort and going through so much rejection to maybe attract someone who might not even be that good of a match.

2) Women who perhaps have lowered their standards somewhat, but the pool has shrunk massively as well, so they typically won't settle for what is left, and decide to stop putting in effort.

3) People who could date and have high value, but prefer to live a social butterfly type lifestyle, while really not dating.

Divorced people don't really count in that.

Yeah, I'm trying to avoid that. I'm not sure I ever want to get married, but I'd like to find a long term partner somewhat soon. Since I'm 27 and routinely get mistaken for a 20-21 year old, I'm thinking about settling down near a decent college and taking some classes there. Maybe meet some younger girls.

Unfortunately, it seems that the girls my age either don't want anything serious or have massive baggage. To be honest, I met A TON of quality girls when I was in college, but was in the player mindset at the time. Now all of those girls are either in long term relationships or marriages. It would be nice to have a redo of sorts with more of a mature outlook.

Off-topic, I know haha.

Also, I'll say that a woman is a lot more selective about throwing around the words good looking, hot, and handsome than men are. They usually only reserve it for the top guys.

Guys throw around cute and hot like giving away candy on Halloween.

Thats not true either.

Men, like many women I know, are their own worst critics, and can't believe that anyone would find them attractive.
