You know, the way you think about yourself and express plays a major role in what you get out of life. So if you truly believe what you posted in this thread, that's what you'll get. And it won't be because you're ugly or you missed the age limit for relationships or any of that. It'll be because that's what you put out and you're putting people off.
Side piece? How revolting to hear someone to refer to themself as a "side piece" I have never heard that expression and hope I never hear it again.Trashy.
I'll never find anyone. I'm 24 and I'm at the age where everyone is taken, and those who are interested are just looking for something on the side. I'm always meeting people who are like 25/26 and have been in relationships for 10 years that started in high school. It seems that I will never be a girlfriend or anything important to a man. Ever. I'll forever just be a side piece. I missed the window of opportunity to fall in love and meet someone years ago.
If you're never someone's girlfriend you'll also never be someones ex girlfriend.
Seriously though, no need to dwell on not having a man. There should be more important things in your life that make you happy and define who you are.
The average age for a woman to be married at in the U.S. is 26, so you're still 2 years from that, and not everyone marries at 26 either.
And for men, which is what she's apparently seeking, it's over 28, nearly 29 now. So much for the age excuse.
OP, I have an honest question for you: What do you get out of posting these self-pitying threads repeatedly, then not heeding any of the answers/advice you get in response? I'm assuming you must get something out of doing this, or you wouldn't keep doing it, right? Does it make you feel better somehow? I'm honestly curious.
While I had been married for a few years already when I was 24, thinking back, it seems like everyone I knew then was also in a serious relationship at that age. I wonder why young people get serious so quickly? Do they get tired of having fun or playing the field quickly? Maybe it's not so fun.

I think that is definitely regional. Here people stay single much longer and I still have many single friends over the age of 30. The idea of getting married before 24 is kinda odd and not something many people strive for. I, myself wasn't even trying to get married or have babies before 27 or 28. I always thought the 20s were for partying and having fun.

Can't speak for all my age but I don't like it. Serial dating isn't fun. Monogamy is fun! Not to mention you reach a point where you just gotta ask yourself, "what the heck are these people suppose to be doing for me that I can't do for myself?"

Agreed, I also live in MD. Suburb between DC and Baltimore. Most of the people I know are concerned with advancing their education and carriers, not getting married or having babies. My friends range from 24-29 and no one I know is married or living with a bf/gf. Coworkers are the same way. Only 30+ are in LTR's.
