I'm the opposite but I still don't know what to put from those options lol. I'm open to dating someone that has kids but don't want to have more in the future. The choices are not super clear to me

If you're a single guy in his 30's in decent shape and with a real job and you're struggling -- you are doing something really wrong.

You don't even have to be attractive. Just don't be fat.


Dudes in their thirties complaining that dating is rough probably had it rough in their twenties as well.


I'm in my mid 30's and I date more women in their 20's now than I did when I was in my 20's lol. It's pretty crazy that the older I get, the more younger women I seem to attract.


Yep. Certain people on this thread really don't like this phenomenon but it's just the way women and men are made.

It's pretty easy too. Stay in shape. Have a good job. I was a mess in my 20's lol.

I look back 10 years ago to when I was 28. I was kinda messed up in the head back then. Outwardly I was a young standout but inside my head it was a different story.

To keep texags' most entertaining thread on the first page I'll volunteer that I had my first date in like a decade last night and didn't throw up or **** myself. And we're going on a second date so it must've been okay enough
And I have another date Friday with a legit 10/10, way out of my league. Pray for me boys. Probably a catfish or I'll get disappeared
Thanks Hinge

Did you or the date make a move and/or put out? How big were their cans?

You are just like anyone else. Worthy of anyone in the world who sees you as such. 10/10? Get it, you probably have more to offer than you think.

Had a second date tonight with a former Navy doctor. Pretty solid girl, definitely more relaxed tonight.

Tomorrow night I have a speed dating event for the 35-50 age group.

How about just a pure hookup? Skip the date, straight to pound town?

I have a date tomorrow night. He's 7 years younger than me. I'll report back.


Yes, but what matters is how tall he is and how much he makes. Have you even been paying attention to the thread!?!?

Catfish, nah. Just somebody in need of a kidney who wants to jump to the top of the transplant list.

Don't worry, I'm sure robot companions are right around the corner.

And by that, I mean sex bots.

Tell me if this is a red flag:
Guy is 44 and never married. He has a lot of single, very pretty female friends that he hangs out with and parties like he's still in his 20s.
Yes or no? Would it be more or less of a red flag if he was divorced??

Are the chicks he parties with over 35? That would be a red flag

You outrank them, right? And you have a degree too. So if he's smart, he will be all over this opportunity.

Yea.....tons. anyone who parties like they are in their 20s when they are in their 40s is either a rock star or a junkie.

He honestly just sounds badass. I suggest marrying him if at all possible.

This would almost be me if I had not met my wife and gotten married in my 30's. Except I don't party beyond liking to go see live music.

I had lots of very pretty female friends. And as a single guy, it was gold. That Seinfeld where George gets more attention from other hot women when he is out with a model after they believed that Man Hands was his dead fiancee?

All true.

My attractive female friends flat out told me that I would get more interest because I was out with them, and they were correct.

This guy is just smart and having a good time and hasn't met the person that really made him think "I can't keep her out of my mind."

Or he's gay. Could be that.

The never married at 44 would make me pause but not exclude dating him. The partying like he's 22 would concern me but if he is responsible with finances and a general adult, it wouldnt be a deal breaker.

44 and parties like he's still in college? He'll be dead or in jail any time now - he's on borrowed time at 44, depending on how hard he parties.
