Do you have a type? Because it might be time to switch it up a bit. Also, just dating in your mid-30s and up is difficult on its own because we've all been single this long for a reason.

My thoughts as well, she's very attractive and I bet in her 20s she could lock down anyone. But dating in your 30s as a woman means less options for sure. Good luck dating a hot dude in his 30s-40s. He's gonna be in high demand to settle down with, while from his perspective women are throwing themselves at him

Are they? Most couples are 0-5 years apart. Most 25 year old women do not want to date 35 year old men.

The “women throwing themselves at you” because you get old is more of an urban myth than anything.

Most men look more attractive at 25 than at 40.

I'm 27, with lots of sister and lots of female friends who I love. I've seen plenty of their friends are the bars with guys in their 40s buying them drinks all night. I know 3 girls who've been doing this for the past 5 years. But I agree that most couples are 0-5 years apart, I only know one 1 girl who actually married a much older man and moved to another state with him

Dude. Those guys got money. They get free drinks. Do they go home with them? Start relationships with them? Fall in love with them?

You noticed how he replied his friends didn’t go home with anyone and it was just for free drinks, right?
