I personally have come to the conclusion that dating in my early 30's is definitely not as easy as it was when I was in my early 20's.

It seems to me that everything is so much more complicated. There are typically children involved. Most of us have been married or in long term relationships in the past, which seem to breed mistrust, and sometimes resentment. Life is taken more seriously, and it seems that even a decision as simple as whether to date an individual or not, has become a major vetting process.

I am not all that different than I was appearance wise than I was in my early twenties, yet I find myself putting much more effort into the initial process of finding a suitable person to spend time with, This would lead me to believe that it is reasons other than physical changes?

Has anyone else experienced this? What reasons do you feel cause this apparent phenomena.

This applies to all men and women over 35 ....

Women are bitter and angry at men in general because of the bad choices they have made for fathers of there children...

Men are bitter and angry at women cause all men think that women are after something, like there wallet, or just out for free dinners....

Of course, you have guys like me who have never been married, no kids and get looked down upon cause there is something wrong with me cause I have never been married ... go figure... :angryfire: :banghead: :grumpy: :irked: :dunno:

Well, HD .... it's not good to generalize, especially women. Not all are bitter and angry. And if they are, that is because of the circumstances. Believe me, they are not born thatway .... :nono:

Well, dating beyond your 20s is definitely different. But in a good way. You get more experienced, mature and grown up. You have accumulated the experiences to make the right decisions mostly, and you tend to meet like minded people more.

I am finding the experience of dating after 20s or 30s more blissful than when I was that age. Well, that's me :wave:
