Easy solution: date and marry an 18+ to 24 y/o younger gal, if the older 25+ to 30 y/o gals are otherwise unavailable!

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.

Reason: Typo
Join a club/team/alumni group/sports team/gym/volunteer organization. Go to the cafes/grocery stores/cooking classes/libraries/restaurants/concerts that you like. Smile. Say hello to people. Look confident and approachable. Don't always have your head buried in a book... or your iPhone... or zoning with your iPod.
^ Great advice!
Another suggestion, enlist the help of friends, relatives, co-workers, single and married. Let them know you're looking to get married and do they know of someone marriage-minded that they could introduce to you? Perhaps your buddies' wives have a sister, cousin, friend, co-worker, ANYONE they can match you up with.
being 30 and single does not make u a loser, it makes u a big big winner. let me esplain u. 42 million divorces since 1975 (no fault) 70% filed by women.
when u say i do, under current law, u give away your legal rights as a citizen. your salary pension assets are her's, any debt she creates in her name during the marriage and before, are yours. (in community property states). ever hear of financial infidelity? 30% of women sneak debt, u dont find out until the divorce.
think about it.
if u do get married do a prenup always. carmen jovet was encouraging mom's to coach their son's to get a prenup so as not to get taken to the cleaners. i saw it this week on her TV show.

be aggressive in a sweet not creepy way when you are attracted to someone, stand up straight, look people in the eye, be confident but not cocky, man groom, dress well, work out, tan, smile sweetly, open doors, be polite, be sincere, if you have a bachelors get a masters if you have that get a PhD. I am already training my son on this and he's 8, but its never too late, but I tell him most importantly choose a good one who deserves him/you.
You realize that about 30 is the average age of first marriage for many countries, right?
Especially for men, who tend to marry later than women.
That's about the average age for Canada (The US, though it obviously varies by state, as a whole average, has only maybe a couple years younger at that).
It is also around that age of first marriage for many European or even Asian countries.

I hope you are joking. Why on earth would you think that 30 is a deadline for finding a partner? Surely, you must know that many MANY people never find a partner until well after 30, even after 40...good grief. Stop worrying. You have many many years ahead of you.
What is it with all these people whining and moaning about how they're 25 or 30 and are afraid they'll never get married? Good grief ... Your life has barely begun.
I hereby sentence you to listen to America's "Lonely People" over and over again.

Thank you for that comment. Very positive. Just what I need. I appreciate it greatly.
At 29, I'm enjoying the single life and the women who got married young, realized they screwed up, and and are now out to fix that after their divorce!
