That's the bitter reality of dating in your 30s

Not sure what your goal is, but at your age prepare yourself for being a future stepparent and possibly provider and not having your own kids. Chances are unless you both don't want children, they already had their shot at a family. I'm 35 and no matter what age range, every women I've met all had kids. Some my age have teenagers with potty mouths and have no desire to support themselves in the near future lol.

I've heard stories of the desperate women in their 30s that want to settle down and have kids, but I haven't seen them yet.

no you are not too late to have the kind of relationship you want. but like any relationship, you are going to have to go out and find it, it generally wont come to you.

and unless you are chasing an 18-23 year old, chances are that age isnt going to be an issue.

in the end you need to stop worrying about what other people have, and go get what you want.

are you implying you have never been in a relationship before, never had a girlfriend?

No, I have two female friends (a little younger but around the same age) who just finished earning advanced degrees and are finally established enough in thier careers that they are now just starting to look. These are amazing women too, but they are also discouraged and feel similar to you.

At age 40 that is just a Number....means that you have reached a Mature point in life for a Male.

I was widowed for11 yrs and lonely for some companionship and found a young lady who was just 20 (age difference 30 yrs) and liked older Mature men.....she made a man of me again.

Later on met a young lady (in another country) who was just 24 and also 30 yrs difference in our ages and also made me feel like a man again.

So, at age 40 the field is wide open for you.....worked for me.

Life begins at 40, so fasten your seatbelt! The best is yet to come!

I got more dates in my 40's than I ever did in my 20's and 30's! Best years of my life!
