Get out of the clubs and bars. Do you really want to try and start a relationship based on drinking? Look for women who share interests and hobbies with you outside of picking people up at local establishments or clubs.
I am 33 and found dating to be a lot easier. I have a much better understanding of myself, and women who are close or over 30 have a much better and mature understanding of themselves as well. By understanding I mean who they are, what makes them tick, what they want out of life, etc.
I think it makes finding true compatability and similarities much quicker and easier.
Now that I am in my very early 30s, I can't keep the women away. I haven't really been single since I was 27. I'm also more established, financially independent and more socially fine tuned. My posture has improved and my cologne smells alot better.
In my early to mid 20s I was a broke college/graduate student still eating ramon noodles every night, and scrounging up change to take to the club/bar while sharing a hole in the wall with roomates. Dating and hanging out was done as cheaply as possible and getting with women was more of a numbers game. Now I get the numbers and do the choosing. I love my 30s.
I would say that speaking in general terms, men get better looking as they get older. Add the fact that they become wiser and mature and you get a very desirable man. But each guy is different. Some peak in their 20's and others later in life, as with women. I've been on dates with guys in their mid 30's and they look amazing, but I've also seen men in that same age group while I'm out and about and they do look a bit too old for me. It's genetics.

Right, on all topics. I think I'm peaking about now, but have some pudgy weather/Life worn friends that don't look or act so well in their 30s. Same applies to woman too. I think that most woman peak in theyre 30s, but some do in theyre 40's or even 50's, ala Joan Collins!
I haven't hit 30 yet, but as a man dating is so much easier at this age now. I think in your early 20's its a good time to learn game and as you get older you start to develop, and you know what works and what doesn't. It only get better, sadly for women after 31-32 things go downhill and they have to settle.
what itshim said is so on point. It feels great to be the one to do the choosing....and dropping lol

we don't settle. We just go for older guys. When im 30 im sure 30 year old guys will look like kids to me. So please don't "pity us" stats show that men need women more than vice versa anyway.
Thanks for proving my point with your reply. When you hit 30-32 you'll see it for yourself. Its sad that some men don't know they're worth and feel they have to settle for a "cavernous" women who's been with the whole team (or even worse if she has kids). I wouldn't advise men to get married either, its too much of a raw deal. If you do choose marriage or a long term relationship, do it with a much younger woman.

Reason: minor detail.

Ah, so you tend to go for the girls who have no idea what they want and are completely naive.
It's harder when you are in your 30's because as a man you are expected to be more accomplished
Good Job
Good Credit
Car
House
At 20 and 21, none of those things matter
I would think it would be easier for that very reason. In your 30's, it's perceived that those are suppose to be your goals/life accomplishments. It comes with the territory of being motivated and traveling a straight path. The women in search of "established" men are just fringe benefits that comes with all of those things.
It's very different from being in your 20s and sculpting yourself a certain way to attract women. I think that's much tougher.
