You might be right I don't know. It is definitely true that when the financial and logistical issues are resolved, I will be generally happier. That might make it easier to transition from friends to lovers with someone. Right now it's hard to be positive. I'm trying, it's hard though.
You've got the Ed Helms look going on. Not bad at all, pretty average. However, if you dress well, I think you'll have some positive results with the ladies.
Keep your head up. We all go through rough patches. When you do, have quality family members and friends to lean on.

Well, huh, that's what indicator is. It's a kind of a representative sample, so work and school are great ones. It doesn't matter that a bunch of people are working at a separate place, or going to a separate school, A school or A place of work is a good sample (if it meets certain demographic criteria of society).
As someone that dated when they were in their early 20's the gals held the power.
When I dated around age 40....not so....probably even tilted in the guys favor a little bit and it just gets more and more in the guys favor from that age up.
Just a *general* observation true in many but not all cases.
I hear a lot of guys talking about this. The tide turning, so to speak, after 20 and it getting better from there on out.
I've just never seen it. Though, I am a bitter, jaded a**hole.

I think it's more like 30+ that it gets much easier. You're usually more financially sound, have more going on for you, etc. Those qualities will be attractive to a wider variety of women, especially in that demographic.
In their 20s, so many people are just trying to figure things out and out to have good time with NSA. It's a rough period of life to navigate and I don't think a lot of people are prepared for it. Quarter-life crisis anyone?

Anyway...
It kind of does, though. Because all those people that are someplace else could have vastly different experiences. We could simply talk about the difference in our social circles; my male friends can't get a date to save their soul. Not a single one. There's a variety of reasons, but if one were to use my social circle (which includes work and former schoolmates) as an indicator, you'd think men didn't date at all except that one jackass in the group that's taking all the women.
Oh no...not after 20, by any means. I'd put it somewhere between 30-40, depending on the guy.
That was a typo on my part...it should say 30.
But still, I've never seen it. In fact it's gotten much, much harder for me since 30.
But, like I said, I've also become a bitter, jaded a**hole since 30.
But I guess I don't even get what it means when guys say 'it's so much easier after 30.' Do women start approaching you? Do you start getting more "yes's?"
When you say it gets better after 30, what do you specifically mean? What are things that would happen to you on a day-to-day basis that made you think, "man, things are really looking up?"
OK, disregard my previous post. I stick by what I wrote....using your post, I'd argue that FB are common and FWB are not (and, as mentioned, I call them both FWB)
They are the same thing. The idea that two people start out as friends, start a sexual relationship, and eventually go back to just being friends is almost always make believe.
The reality is they started out as friends, became f buddies and then when the sex stopped the friendship stopped. While they were f buddies they were fwb's.

Yeah, that was a typo on my part. But I'd ask you the same questions as I did Hivemind.
What are the signs/signals/symptoms of that?
