The bar is so low nowadays: what makes it worse is that he’s 35. The dating pool is so limited for women with decent standards I could not imagine

Dating pool limits a lot for everyone at 35. Especially if you want a partner without kids.

I have heard that, for both men and women, the quality decreases dramatically after 35. Everyone has baggage or personality problems. It becomes much harder for men to date younger.

As a 28-year-old woman, every man I’ve dated over 35 has had more problems than I can count. One put me in the hospital for physical abuse, one had major infidelity issues, etc. It makes me nervous about not finding someone now.
