Laughing here...just read on another thread that someone said women who are in their late 20's have issues and too much baggage and so you shouldn't attempt to get into relationships with them...

Now you are just being rude, and there is no call for that.
Whether you believe it or not, most gentlemen understand that it is impolite and a social faux pas to ask a lady her age.
Somehow you managed to escape being taught this basic rule of manners, so I am trying to explain it to you now.
Can you please stop trying giving me rep points so you can criticise me, if you have something to say to me, don't be a coward. Say it here so I can respond.
Honestly, I don't think the "misery" threads here on this forum represent the majority of people. At least, they sure don't represent the people that I know and have known. Just my opinion, but I think that people that are emotionally healthy and secure, and not ones to go on and on about how hard life is being single. I think that those people, just by their very nature, DO have a harder time finding companionship. I love being single. I mean I love my guy, but I literally treasure my independence and freedom.
Sorry I had just got home from work when I posted this let me try again.
I see young, single people on here who are having trouble dating so I would think that people 50 plus would have it even harder. Again I'm just guessing here.

...3 or 4 posts later. I guess 'done here' has a whole different meaning to people who think discussing means 'hissy fit'.
Life isn't "over" at 50, but dating or finding a long term relationship that leads to marriage CAN be more difficult for WOMEN. That doesn't mean it's impossible, but it's not the same as when one is in their 20s and 30s. Men continue to have a larger pool available to them, even after age 50. These are not absolutes. There is the potential for most normal people to meet someone and be compatible.
But statistically, the numbers skew less for women over 50. The trick is doing the best you can with what you've got and finding ways to be fulfilled.
I've rationalized this for myself this way:
<rationalization>
since I believe we live many lifetimes, I probably was, in some prior lifetime, married with children, and perhaps will be again in some future lifetime, so if I consider the entire journey my soul may take, and not just focus on this one (single, no kids, never married) lifetime, then !
</rationalization>
I mean no offense but, what good does having many lives bring when one is not even aware of any of it?

I agree...better make the most of the life we're so blessed to be conscious of.
OP: Romance does not "necessarily" end at 50+ unless you choose it to be!
