To all the single women over 30 out there: stop buying into the "no men left" and "you have a better chance of blah blah than getting married" hype and see that you can have success at any age! Because more men look at me now at 31 than they ever did when I was 24. Is it amazing or what? I still don't have a boyfriend, but I get more play than I ever did. When I was in my twenties (until I started dating my ex from 28-30) I was lucky to get one date a month, now I get all kinds of offers. Of course I don't take them al up on them...I wonder if that is part of it? I am a more discriminating dater than I used to be, more self confident, or because I left my hometown (where there really were no prospects) I guess some people come i nto their own at different stages. Oh and actress Ruth Gordon is into her seventies and still attracts men with her charm and personality. If she can do it women in their 30s can! I also have taken the advice of authors like Dr Phil, Rachel Greenwald, and Evan Marc Katz. Another good one to learn from is Paige Parker, the author of the e-book for women, "Dating Without Drama" Sign up for her FREE newsletter to learn some good tips. I am just posting this because I get sick of the jadedness of single women in their 30s and 40s. (For some of them, maybe "their time" was when they were in their 20s?) I don't have kids BTW and the biological clock is obviously on silent mode..(obviously another sterotype is that single women in their 30s and above have a gaggle of kids by different daddies or their biological clocks sound like "60 Minutes" LOL) Good luck everyone out there in C-D land.
So why are you creating a thread on the subject? Just curious.
Now that you've learned something about relationships why not, if you have the time and energy, subscribe to the threads of some of the innumerable posters who welcome good advice and are obviously so often side-swiped by poster idiocy.
The problem with forums is basically two-fold. First, the majority latch on to a new thread like vampires into new blood and give their opinion. As the thread continues on and gets to 4 or more pages, the comments and suggestions made are reflective of those who have only read the first and last posts and thus their posts become insanely repetitive.
Second (and I really do like these CD forums in this respect) if someone posts something which seems a little off kilter, you can click onto their name and see not only their profile (if they choose to fill out that part of the deal) but also see their posts and much more. Seems to me that many contributors to this forum don't go that route but it's so simple.
I have never said anything on any forum that I wouldn't say upfront and in person but I'm just a dinosaur!

Ohhhh.... I bet you feel lucky to be the first to post, huh? To avoid all that other BS.
THANK You for posting this. You're right on! I found what you had to say somewhat refreshing after reading so much of this other stuff posted on here. I remember hearing somewhere when I was a kid, "Life begins at 40" and I thought to myself, what a crock! but having lived beyond that I understand, in a lot of ways it really does. Funny thing. my wife and I were watching these modeling tryouts last weekend. One teenage girl was entering the contest and the promoter was much more interested in getting her mother to try out. He was practically beging her. but she refused. and I totally understood that.
