The thing single dudes late 20s+ have to realize is that

the vast majority of "good" women are off the market. most of those remaining are likely very liberal, don't care about having family or have some other problems. many of those former good women will be coming back on the market but they'll be jaded and single mothers. also most of those younger good ones don't want to be with someone over about 4-5 yrs older...for example 20 yr old will want someone 20-25.

you just have to realize past about 27-28 you are dealing with left over scraps.

at 33 you're dealing with mostly late 20s women or older. there's a reason they weren't snatched up and married over the last decade+.

The good men are off the market too so the ratio is still the same.

I'm 30 now, and as I get older I find that I start to care less and less about actually looking for and cultivating a relationship. I just can't be bothered to play the numbers game and waste time building rapport. It gets tiring very fast.
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

i think a lot of people feel the same because they've been making small talk and whatnot for 10-20 years now so they kinda have "dating fatigue" unless it's just some magical person they meet.

i mean some can but the majority of the good girls left want a dude in a similar age range (no more than 4-5 years older) to take home to their family/friends, marry and have children with. some will of course make an exception for very good looks/money.

yeah that's what i'm saying. by a certain age the high school boyfriends didn't work out, the college boyfriends didn't work out...and heck even if you give a pass for whatever reasons, the several boyfriends after college didn't work out...by 25+ a lot of things didn't work out. by late 20s a whole lotta things didn't work out and you're likely dealing with scraps. a little different for men because the majority can't just snap their fingers and be in relationships...but without top tier looks/money they are fishing in a dried up pond.

the vast majority of submissive/family oriented women aren't going to be 19 and seriously dating a 30 yr old. they likely come from good homes and know their parents would be like WTF.

Though the average age gap between people in heterosexual relationships in the US is about 2.3 years,¹ many relationships endure with a much wider age interval. In Western countries, about 8% of male-female couples have an age gap of 10 years or more, rising to 25% in male-male unions and 15% of female-female relationships.

Learning this the hard way. Basically relationship material doesn't even exist once you get past a certain age.

Not completely true. I met one that would be the holy grail by misc standards. We met through friends on a blind date. Now we’re married. I had these same thoughts, but they’re out there. You have to put yourself out there somehow though. They’re not going to come knock on your door.

But if you prioritize women when you’re in your 20s while ignoring your physical fitness and an actual career path, then you’re setting yourself up for greater chances of failure in your thirties. Women are not attracted to out of shape men that are broke. Taking care of yourself FIRST opens the most doors.

yep. that's why you see people past a certain age that have accepted a philosophy that they'll be friends with the opposite sex, do stuff together and whatnot but no point in marriage...and for some no point in living together as that could disturb their peace in life.

i've heard people speculate that about 10% or less of marriages are truly happy...the rest get divorced or just try to trudge through it for the kids or until they are older and have other stuff to worry about (health, hobbies, retirement, travel, grandkids, etc).

That sounds about right from what I've seen. Do you think the numbers have always been that for people or do you think it's more of a modern thing?

sorta think the modern world has made it worse. people sorta moved away from a religious/community/family centered life to more narcissistic/me living. more priortization of the individual over the whole and many more avenues for comparison (social media...which feeds all the negatives of human nature). degeneracy more normalized.

lol... if you see women in their 20's as prime pickings.... I doubt your experience.




Sure women in their 20's are at this physical peak (on average), but they don't know who they are or what they want. Their careers are just starting and usually aren't very well established.










30-35 is the ideal window. They have looks if they take care of themselves (if not you will see if right away and can avoid them), they are established and well into their careers (if not then you will know right way and can avoid them, and are old enough to "know better" in most areas of life so if they act dumb, you know they are garbage and can avoid.









20's<early 30's for idea female selection.

this can't be real tea. that age range is mostly ran through many times, divorced women, single feminist, women nobody wanted to marry and single moms. they passed on or were thrown back by many men.

agree. you got to wife one after she had her "nasty girl summer", "sneaky link", "wet ass pussy", and "man in finance" eras


Make sure shes banged atleast one BBC and one of those tall K pop korean guys. And a latino. You need to get all her phases out of her system so you know shes serious about you. Thats a woman that knows what she likes in her 30s. Too many guys marry young and end up divorced because shes wants to go "find herself"

you gotta let her get rammed while you watch and clean a few guys off afterwards to affirm how little her past means to you.
