Yep I've been approached several times recently by men 25 years older and its just ICK! No young woman wants you ok, not unless she is a serious golddigger in which case you'd probably be better off without her.
Ah, but don't forget that at the same time, there can also be some men can be over 25, but may have a natural "babyfaced" look that can make them physically appear as 25 (or even younger) In those cases, you might even potentially assume that they are younger than they really are, unless you were to actually ask them their age outright
No actually many women just don't want a relationship because they have no desire to be in one as there is no benefit for the woman these days since they are able to support themselves.
What planet are YOU from? Some women have given up temporarily, and have chosen to spend time with friends, and pursuing activities they enjoy. All women hope for a relationship, though. Whether they're actively looking or not.

I've noticed there are a fair amount of people out there, men and women, who look so much younger than their real age, that they have trouble finding a partner. We've had members here say they can't get the attention of guys anywhere near their age, and they get passed over constantly because everyone thinks they're still in highschool. This is difficult to overcome.

I'm 24, can pass for 19-20, and don't get passed up. I don't know of anyone that gets passed up because they look young.

We had 3 women who had this problem. They didn't last long partly because the membership wasn't receptive to the issue. I passed up a guy who I thought was 15 years younger than I was, but I later found out he was my age. It happens more than you'd think.

I'm definitely one of those guys. People often guess my age and mistake me for a 23 year old, typically 21 years old, and sometimes I've even been carded at bars as the only one at the table because they think I'm 18.
Then a series of the EXACT SAME EVENTS will occur every single time this happens:
-I inform them I'm going to be 30 this year.
-They apologize and tell me they thought I looked a lot younger
-Then they tell me I have a baby face
-Then they realize they may have offended me
-Then they say "but that's a good thing"
-Then they say I'll be glad when I'm older
I live in a big city, Chicago....I met new people EVERY DAY.
This is how I feel about it. New people to meet are around us all the time. There are opportunities daily to smile and say hello, or just pass the time in line at the bank. Even if nothing comes of it, you've had a pleasant exchange and maybe brightened someone's day, or they yours. A couple of people here mentioned meeting people at bus stops. That can work well, depending on where you live. I know guys who have gotten women's numbers on the bus. Opportunities are everywhere. All you have to do is take them. And not let sourpusses who are tired of being hit up stop you, lol!
I think it's hard to meet new people too. I'd be flattered if a guy approached me or said hello. I would never be rude to anyone who came up to me even if I wasn't interested. People just think it's acceptable to be rude and snotty these days.
I've had guys chat with me in check-out lines, but they didn't take the added step of asking if I'd like to sit down for coffee. Instead, over the following year or longer, they'd try to get my attention whenever they'd run into me (small town). One I never recognized as the grocery-line chat guy , the other one was sitting at a table of women at a teahouse next time I saw him, and was literally bending over backwards to get my attention. What could I do? He was at a table full of women. I couldn't just walk up to him, in case one of them was his SO, or maybe an ex, who knows? Sisters? who knows? Finally, I don't know how many months after that, we ran into each other at the grocery store. How much time would have been saved if he'd just asked if I'd like to chat over coffee when he was in the payment line at the coffee shop that first time! Guys, it's easier than you think to invite a woman to sit down for a chat, especially if you're already IN A COFFEE SHOP! (sheesh! ) Don't expect every woman you try to talk to to agree. But if you don't try, you'll never win the prize.
