Hi, guys. I'm someone who wasn't interested in dating during high or my first half of college, and still hasn't dated after several years of being out in the real world. Now I'm more eager than ever to have a romantic partner, but I have a severe shortage of options compared to years ago. The number of available women has dwindled and my attractiveness to women has declined in the same period (I've aged horribly). I find this a big bummer because I should've gotten attached back when I had options to date women I'm attracted to.

Anyways, has anyone else experienced this? How did you deal with it?

How could you have aged horribly in your mid 20s?

For your own self-confidence....make sure you get a good haircut....make sure you have at least a few stylish shirts and a pair of well fitting jeans...and then relax.

Life is not a sprint....it's a long run....and it's hardly over because you've just started to date in your 20s.

Stress, depression, receding hairline, etc. I look at pictures of myself from 3 years ago and get depressed at how much better I looked.

I've seen it happen. People who start out fit and with a full head of hair who end up bald and really out of shape within a couple short years. But, more than likely, the situation seems worse in OP's head than it really is. Mid-twenties is still young and full of possibility, more so than anyone in their mid-twenties can see.
