I think ever since I hit that 30 mark and still single, dating has taken a hard turn.
Well, I spent the time period of 24-30 in 2 back to back relationships... so, I'm not sure how that period would have been.
But, has anybody else just have trouble dating? I am never married, no kids, and just hit my 30s...I'm finding it harder and harder to find decent women, I'm sure it is hard for the women to find guys also.
I am not really the type to "settle" or just date anybody so eh... I think I might wind up like Seinfeld or something. That is how I feel. And it isn't so much as there are faults with these people, there just isn't much to choose from, and the quality of potential candidates I remember before was MUCH better.
It does get tougher to some extent - you no longer seem as appealing to guys because a lot of them want women in their 20s, for instance. However, I've learned that, as I entered my late 30s, this is the time to enjoy life and to not stress so much about not being in a relationship.

Be thankful you live in the 21st century where the single market for that age group is growing. More than half of marriages end in divorces and many people are choosing not to marry. So there's a lot of single folk out there.

Enjoy your single life pal. There is nothing more refreshing than waking up in the morning and not having to fulfill every wimper of a woman. Just sayn.
Well in a couple years I'll be hitting the 30 mark. Some of my older buddies who are in their 30s have no shortage of dates with attractive women, while some others are on a perpetual dry spell. So I guess there's definitely some variation. How you maintain yourself probably has a lot to do with it I suppose.
That said, I don't doubt that on the whole, prospects would seem a bit drier...

I can totally relate. I'm 36, and in my minds-eye, I can go back to my 20's and recall all of the great women I used to date. Now I'm finding a much, much harder time unless I'm willing to settle. I also feel quality of people in general has gone downhill- men and women.

No argument there. And you can thank the proliferation of technology and the mass media for it. What an irony - with all this technology you would think that it would make people more enlightened... instead, we have almost the complete opposite.

Yes... The thing is, I consider myself at a peak now... much better off than I was in my 20s, more educated, more in shape, etc. While the pool of good fish has greatly diminished. I never had a problem dating or being in relationships until now where I can't seem to catch a break. Also there seems to be more of what I would consider "psychos" on the market. Whereas I have extremely little to zero "baggage". I have a woman friend who is 34, she is successful and a professional singer, she says she has a horrible time also. Also, I've never been into the whole "sleeping around" or one night stand thing, so that option isn't even appealing to me.
