And why do you think that?

Because you are WAY more likely to end up divorced.

I seriously would worry a whole lot less about "her" and focus on the one thing you can control: YOU and your perception of people in the world.

why in god's green earth would you want to date 18 - 20 year olds if you're a 27-30 year old male? I'm 29 and I had a beautiful 19 year old who was very interested in me once and I would never give that a chance. They're like kids at that age


OP, I'm in the same boat. I'm a pretty good looking, successful, college educated 29 year old childless 29 year old male. I would really love to meet an attractive 25-30 year old intelligent childless woman but it's not easy

Well that's your decision. If anyone would like to offer advice or answer the questions I posed here rather than just criticizing me that would be great. Also if you read my post you would see I am not trying to only date that age bracket.

dude they're kids at that age, you will not be happy dating them unless you're emotionally a kid yourself

look for someone a few years out of college

That's your opinion. Mentally I don't feel much different at 19 or 20 than I do now.

Telling someone who they shouldn't date is laughable, lol.

That's your decision (and yours alone). Plenty of late 20's guys date 18-20 year old women with no problems. I'm 26, and would date an 18-20 year old if she was mature enough. My only issue would be how their college schedule would be (if they went), since that can be pretty demanding.

Definitely.

I think people on this forum really need to get off of telling other posters who they should/shouldn't date, or that they can't date someone this age or that age, or a divorced/single parent. It's infuriating to read.

Op, you've been given some good advice on this thread, from several people. In some cases, some very specific and practical advice. I'm not sure what more anyone can tell you, or what you're looking for, that you haven't already been given, here. Were you hoping to find a guy who could set you up with his cousin in Rochester? Because short of that, you've been given some good advice, about where to find single women in your area, and where to move to, where there are more single, childree women your age.

As far as I can tell, we should be about done with this thread. The rest is just hand-wringing.

I must note, it's usually just men being told that....and our sweet little delicate, aromatic flower just launched another doozy in another age thread. The purveyor of the now infamous Red Pill thread no less.
