Can anyone think of any women over the age of 30 who have never had a boyfriend before? I doubt it, however, its not uncommon at all to hear of guys like that who have never had a girlfriend before

What difference does it make? Why try and make it a contest. No need to try and compete with whose crap sticks worse, it all stinks. Even if some people did give examples of women with dating issues or lack of experience, you probably wouldn't listen, then it would become "So? Men still have it worse." So, what was the point of the example(s)?

Women have given examples of women they know who have plenty of issues dating and don't have boyfriends in their 30s+. In other threads here. One poster here says she has a few girlfriends that are nice and pretty but never dated a man in their lives because all they are is nice, which is a bare minimum requirement.

At the end of the day, some men and women have issues with dating. And some either never date, or have very little experience.

Thing is, you just may not hear many women complaining about it online. Women, if they have issues may talk to family, girlfriends, or counselors. Whereas men may tend to vent online because they don't want their buddies to know, and it's anon. But. Online =/= Real Life. Just because you see a lot of something online doesn't means it's the majority. People are inclined to be more negative online because there's no repercussions. They can vent, complain, and bash with no problem and nobody knowing who they are.

Some men and women have their own set of problems. Maybe struggles aren't exactly the same, but doesn't mean either is less or greater. It's just a different kinds of struggle, but still a struggle nonetheless.

Yup, I made that point before, maybe it is true that men are more at risk than women are at being perpetually single or women are less vocal, don't advertise it as much as men do, so yes, then there are women out there 30+ years of age who have been single their whole lives

Some people who have never dated might not have anything wrong with them some just prefer to be by themselves. Life can be easier when you only have yourself to think about.

Hence " in my circle " ......

Incidentally what's it matter to you who has had a boyfriend/girlfriend in their 30s anyway? FA to do with you or anyone else is it?
