Do not feel to bad I am 30 and never had a long term GF before . I am not have much to offer a female right now being broke every day kills your game. Good news is I trying to turn it around before it is to late. Going back to college is going to take from loser to winner.

No, it's not hopeless to get married, just foolish.

I would like to find someone, but feel like a lot of time has passed and most people in my age range from say 25-30 are married or very close to it. It's almost like there are no young girls that are single anymore. It's tough to find someone that fits my criteria and is still single.

Should I feel bad about this at this point in my life?

If gets me down a great deal of the time. I always find people asking me if I am married and/or have kids. And they seemed shocked that I am not/give me a hard time about it. Makes me feel like sh@it.

I def did not follow the cookie cutter lifestyle as most do. I'm pretty independent I guess you could say.

Just wondering if there is hope. I'm a normal guy and find that people seem to think of me as attractive, but I just don't know.

Is that part of life over for someone in this situation? I mean no more dating..and just living life solo until death?

Very, very discouraged with the situation.

Thanks for your opinions.

I wouldn't consider getting married before the age of 30

Marriage is ok if that's what you believe in. I've known plenty of couples involved in ltrs only to get married and divorced in a year. Love is great...marriage is a contract.

I agree. I'm only 23 and can't fathom the thought of being married or having kids right now! A few people my age are married and/or have kids. Good for them but that is not me. I do think the best time to have kids and marry is the late 20s to early 30s. By that time, people should have a good standing of where they are in life. So ages 27 to 34. I think it's crazy to settle down before then. Don't feel bad OP.

You don't need money to have game... but if you have to game her to get her, then is that type of woman and the subsequent relationship that stems from it gonna be fulfilling for you?

I once dated a guy and we broke up and while we were talking I told him, 'I don't think you are going to be ready for marriage until you are in your 30s, I peg you at around 32.' Sure enough he got married at the age of 32.

Heck, the marriage statistics for senior citizens is on the rise.
