Does it get harder for people over 30 to find mates?

It's not much harder to find good mates that haven't been married a dozen times in your 30's. That's a gross exaggeration, I'm sure you can see that. Anyway, there are LOTS of single 30-somethings who have no divorces in their experience. Besides, who cares if someone's divorced? When I was 21, I knew several guys who were already divorced at that age. One had a kid. No baggage. Not a big deal at all.

She lives in Middle Tennesssee and it is real conservative.

I just turned 30, no kids, never married, blah blah. I get asked out just as often as I did in my teens and in my 20's. The only difference now is that I'm not interested in dating. I prefer to be single for now (that might change in a few months), so I've been blowing guys off....uhh no pun intended.

Thanks.

It's definitely slim pickins, but the quality of relationships with guys you meet I say are exponentially WAY better than say pepes in their mid 20s.

A matter of knowing what you want, and being very clear about it.
