Turning 30 was a breeze. I still felt young and fun loving. Mid 30's...not so much. In fact it feels like life is getting much harder. All my friends are married with children. I live in a city that's terrible for singles and known for being snobby, fake and cold. Right now I feel the same angst I did when I was a teenager. It's much more difficult to form friendships as I've gotten older and dating is much worse. But then, I chalk a lot of my temporary life disdain up to my gross city of residency and my s*** job.
I turn 30 in March. I'm already feeling old these days (hangovers, oh.my.god) but I keep seeing things online about how 'women are out of their prime at 30'. Really? I feel like I'm just getting good. I'm finally getting my s*** together. I have an education, a career, and a bunch of travel under my belt. How much does it matter to you, guys, if a woman is in her early thirties vs mid-twenties? If I have to start dating again, how hard is it at 30?
Age is really only a number, ignore those guys telling you your life is over at 30. Dating is really only as hard as you think it should be (or want to be)... I'd imagine early 30's is where you start to run into more people with baggage and whatnot, but there are still plenty of decent people available. I'm turning 30 this year too, and while my age is starting to show a bit in my face, I feel much better about myself and feel more optimistic about things than I did a few years ago.

Age may only be a number, but it's a fact that a lot of these women still want to have children. As a man in my early/mid 30's, if I were looking to start a family, 30 would be the absolute oldest female I'd consider dating with that goal in mind. All of my friends are the same way.

I thought you were much younger than that for some reason. I guess you have a youthful personality. You're not old anyway. I would think 30's would be a good age?

The majority of my friends met and married their husbands in their early to mid 30's - and some of them married men a year or two younger than them. My closest male friend got married at 29 and his wife was 36. So I don't think your friends and you refusing to consider women a day over 30 is representative of the population at large. I see women getting married and having children in their mid 30's as more of the norm rather than the exception.

I wouldn't worry about it.
If you have options at 25, you'll have options at 30, and 40, and 50 and beyond.
I've seen female posters who are in their 50s and 60s posting about how guys are just too unattractive and too short, and chasing after hot guys. Yes, in their 60s.
Which is not to say anything is wrong with that, but that you guys will still have options and get to choose until probably you croak. More practically, probably age 65-70+.
I was in the same boat. I turned 30 months ago and not looking forward of turning 31. With me as a guy as I got older I started to to meet more women. When I was in my late teens and early 20s majority of the women either go for bad boy type of guys or solely date guys off of physical attractiveness sadly these types of relationships dont last long and creates plenty of baggage for women in the future. So yeah i did not get much play when i was younger. Tried building up myself, went to college and finished by my mid twenties. Did some every now and then traveling, build up my finances like credit score, invest money and I dont even have an high paying job, only a middle income job. Dating and meeting women got better as I got older. But lately I have been bumping into women with baggage, the very women who did not want a decent guy when she was younger and now wants a decent guy. Most of the single 20 something 30 something childless types, I have to venture in downtown Manhattan for that which cost an arm and a leg, however I am having some success. Im currently seeing two women at the moment.
