I am 27 now, and it seems to get harder and harder to meet someone as I got older. By my early 20's it seems most girls I met were already in relationship and by my age most of them are married or in a serious long term relationship. I imagine by the time I am 30 the number of single girls will be almost 0. It seems to me like the only girls who are actually single and without kids are 18-20 years old. Any single girls I do happen to meet who are my age are single mothers with kids (not that theres anything wrong with that but it's not what I am looking for). Are there actually single girls without kids my age?

I'm in my 50s and almost all of my female friends are single. So don't despair, you'll be amazed by how fast you get here.

Nope. They are all taken. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What have you been doing all this time, that you let them get away?

You still have tons of options at that age.. around 35 to 40 is when the options really start to dwindle. As myself and a number of other guys on here in different parts of the country can attest to. Older men can do well simply because men start dying off or they have a large swath of women that are divorced and not interested in re-marrying to choose from.

Yeah there are single girls under 30. The real question is do they want you?

Or does he want them. It can be easy to be blind to how many single people there are if none of them catch your interest.

There are.

For some odd reason, however, I don't seem to run into them in public (ones I'm into always seem to be in a relationship). And if I do, they're not usually interested in me like that.

Online dating is a god send for me in that regard.

Where do you live, OP? I can tell you there are SCADS of single, child-free women in their 20's, 30's as well, in major West Coast cities. Single, and looking for a relationship. That's true in parts of the Southwest, as well, and the same could probably be said of the NE.

Of course there are some single girls under 30. I think its probably a bit higher in big cities like you live in or in NYC. In my city I feel like it is probably under 10%, where as girls 18-20 is more like 85% single.

When women are single and 29 years, 364 days old there's a wall that apparently comes into play. I think it's like Trump's wall and just about as real. Sort of a wailing wall in practice, with women "hitting the wall", which seems unlikely to solve much. Then they engage in lots of lamentations over time spent with some character named Chad, which caused them to miss out on the Provider. Pretty sure the Provider is the patron saint of Nice Guys?

So the effect is that women disappear at 30, behind the wall apparently, although there is the wailing reminding us all of their plight.
