21 Problems With Dating In Your 20s - Are we going to beat them in a straight-up Spartan Race, Cross Fit competition, or marathon?

I'm going to be 28 soon, and I haven't dated since I was barely 23. My cousin who is now 33 started dating her ex husband when she was 22. They divorced when she was 31. I never thought dating in your late 20s or early 30s would be that much different than your early 20s, but she says it's impossible to find a good guy in her age range 30-40. Her theory is all the good guys are scooped up by the time they are 30. Apparently she has some single and divorced friends around the same age as her who have had the same observations. Now I'm reading all these studies saying that men in their 30s and older prefer and pursue women under 25. So is it hard to find a good guy in your late 20s and beyond? Or are my cousin and her friends doing something wrong? My cousin who is now 33 started dating her ex husband when she was 22. They divorced when she was 31.

I am thirty-two now and have zero desire to remarry. Dating is odd to me, it always has k ind of been. I am older now and will say I put up with a lot less now. For instance, if I am not feeling a relationship, I simply do not go there or stay in it to drag it out. I am much more sexually aware of myself now, more self-aware, too. I feel like a woman now and that is the advantage to when I was in my early 20s when looking back, I seemed like such a kid. But finding a good partner -- at any age, I think is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. To say there are no good men is a stupid concept though. And it's insulting to men. But, as a man, I think I can speak to what men find attractive. Are young women more attractive than older women? Physically, it is what it is. However, physical beauty is only part of the equation. For men looking for marriage, older women aren't great bets. Why is the older woman single? I would be worried about making a lifetime commitment to a woman who has already divorced one, or more, husband s. Did the older woman not marry, but spend 10-15 years serially dating before deciding to look for a husband? Again, most men don't really want reformed party girls mothering their children. The logical response for men is to either court women for sex, rather than marriage, or to look to marriage-minded younger women. A woman in her early twenties claiming to be serious about finding a husband is much more believable than a woman in her thirties claiming the same thing. However, these observations are general. There are lots of men out there. And, while most of them may be looking for sex with you, or marriage with younger women, the law of large numbers dictates that several of them will be looking for marriage with you. As a 28 year-old, you will be far better off than a 38 year-old, or a 48 year-old. Plenty of guys out there looking in your age range. But, as a man, I think I can speak to what men find attractive.

And couldn't women have the same concerns about a man in his 30s who was serially dating for 10-15 years. Women don't want a has-been frat guy, either.
