Be grateful . According to statistics you'd be divorce by now anyways . You still have time because a mans seed always plants unless of course you develop erectile dysfunction but even then you have a chance

I thought it was only the female gender that lamented on this topic. You have your entire life ahead of you. When the time is right you will meet the right person for you. "Be anxious for nothing, but with prayer your request known to the Lord"

That's ridiculous. There are plenty of single women in their 30's, no kids. Some women don't finish grad school until their late 20's, and might be too busy getting a career going to think about dating until their mid-30's. Some women are busy with their career until 40, when they finally feel secure and established in their career.

Where do you hear this stuff about women in their 30's all being divorced and with kids? Or is it your own friends you have in mind for that? In that case, you might be right.

At 35, assuming you aren't a total loser, you can still land chicks in the 25-29 range without kids. It doesn't become tough to find women without kids until you start looking at women over 35. Luckily, as a guy, you can date younger whereas most females can't (most guys don't want an older woman for a serious relationship).

Women without kids over 35 are everywhere. Maybe not so much in LA, who knows. But elsewhere on the West Coast and NYC, at least.

Especially LA. It's the biggest city after New York, so there's going to be more by default.

True, but I keep hearing the culture there is different, blah blah. For ex., this guy is a GUY and has more baby shower invites than all the women I know combined! It's a different world down there.

OP, I totally feel you! My life is completely different from what I had planned. I'm ok with having a different career, but I had hoped to be married by 30...I'm 31 and don't even have a guy I'm the least bit interested in It sucks...I know that getting married isn't the end-all but at the same time, as I've gotten older, I find it harder and harder to meet anyone. So I'm really hoping that something happens soon before ALL the quality men are taken

Gosh you young women have such a romantic view of marriage! I never understood that! I blame it on media to some extent and wedding industry businesses.
