Does dating get harder as you get older?

No, it's not like a magical formula.

However....Dexter was able to do it:

Amassing wealth even overcomes God - when the man is rich, they suddenly don't care what his religion is.

Yeah, I know, I already said I'm a hypocrite.Yes, your past flings are important when you're on a first date because if you had a meaningful relationship you'd probably still be in it, hence, unable to go on a first date with another girl.Tricky. Often times the best way to amass wealth is to live frugally. But then girls won't know I'm rich. I'd say the guy who invests $200,000 is wealthier than the guy who spends $200,000 on a Ferrari but which one will be visibly richer to girls? My father told me that if I get money I shouldn't show it off or the burglars will find out and try to rob me (again). He said for this reason, rich people often drive ordinary cars rather than Mercedes. But girls won't know I'm secretly rich if I keep it a secret. Not if they see me driving a beat up Ford Falcon.

Anyway, I'll never be rich. I won't get promoted because I'm not smart enough. Promotions will go to people smarter and more deserving than me. I can't afford to invest much. I could afford to invest more if I still lived at home but I don't. A 23 year old girl got given $30,000 from her parents to buy an investment property. My parents can't do that because they're poor and lazy. I'm kind of jealous that other people have better parents than me.I'm not going to change religion no matter how many pretty girls are in the Pentecostal Church.

Then again I think it's easier for church goers. They have a mixed sex social outlet with people their own age. That's probably why my grandmother got married when she was 20. Back then, everyone got married when they were 20. After they met at church.

Nowadays not very many people go to church because not many people believe in God anymore. I need to find some other type of club to join. Maybe I could be the pianist for a troop of professional ballet dancers because ballet dancers are skinny and hot and extremely flexible. Also they have good taste in music.

Dating has gotten easier for me as I've gotten older.

Also I don't know many married people my age but that could be due to living in Los Angeles.

I feel like it's gotten more difficult. I get the feeling that men my age want someone younger and I think they assume that someone in their mid 30s must have something wrong with them to still be single, either that or they assume that i' ve chosen to be single and don't want a man. It's like there's an invisible barrier around me now.

Yep. It becomes near impossible. My best and seems only chance was finding s girl when I was in middle and high school and marrying her. But I was way more shy and bullied back then so I was terrified by girls(half of my bullies were girls)

I don't have much in common with women in their 30s. So I prefer younger women who are more playful and silly and into childish things like anime, video games and adventuring.

Also they may assume since your so attractive that you already have a bf. I've found most women do and so I don't want to upset them by talking to them.
Mean few women here have mentioned they don't like to be talked to by undesirable men while in public. And talking to them in private would be harassment :p
But seriously it's quite hopeless

Maybe I should just settle for a short fat girl in her 30s but that would ruinous to my self-esteem.

Every time I see a guy with a really pretty girl, I'd think "What's wrong with me that he can get a pretty girl and I can't? Is it because he's more handsome than me? Is it because I'm slightly overweight? Is he more charismatic than me? More confident than I pretend to be? Is he richer than me? Is it that I didn't go to university? Is that where they met?

Did I miss out on being around the most intelligent and ambitious girls? Did I miss out on being around a lot of girls in general? I had trouble in school but I should have tried harder. Now girls see as lazy and uneducated. Aren't they right?"

I'm just not as good as those guys who date really pretty girls. I'm not as good as those guys who have a girlfriend when they're 20 years old.

I'm not as good as those guys who get a better job than me or buy there own house. Every time I see a fit, confident guy walking with a smiling, pretty girl I know I'm not as good as him.

Did I not try hard enough or was I just born this way?

Ballet dancers (especially hardcore) tend to develope really nasty feet as the get older. Their dediction to their craft means they are willing to risk potential foot issues as they get older.

My fiance is an ex ballet show maker and always talked about how you would have to make shows for veterans with extra support

You have a degree of fame attached to you.

Not having a go at you for that, just a factor to consider.

I don't really want to date, I just cling to the childish notion of finding the one, without actually looking of course, because autistic.

That wouldn't be a problem, I'm not one of those foot fetish guys.

I feel most guys will become more successful when they get in their 30's---provided they don't bear a grudge against their lack of success in the 20's.

Ever since I was a teenager, I ALWAYS liked older women. I dug them like hell, in fact.

During the summer between my junior and senior years in high school, I had a serious of extremely erotic dreams about my English teacher. She was nearly 40 at the time.

When I was 19, I fell madly in love with a woman twice my age. We made out, but nothing beyond that. I called her "The Duchess Lady."

If I was 19, and a woman like Hurtloam came in to my view, I'd pounce on her LOL.

She wouldn't like me though. I would have been a pussycat. She likes more challenging sorts of guys LOL

You are one of the sweetest humans I have ever encountered KK.

I would think it would be easier because the older you are, the more people you can potentially date because as you age, you have a bigger selection. If a guy is 21, getting anyone several years out of his age range would be difficult but if he's 30, he could probably date women several years younger or older than him.

The problem is that at 18, she is just beginning to experience life as an adult. Retrogamer, has been an adult for 11 years--a vast difference in experience. This is usually a difficult situation even when both people otherwise have no issues.

Dating has and will always be easier for women, at least generally speaking. Women who are at least decently attractive can easily date and sleep with multiple men if she so pleases.

If you ever date a girl, always assuming she's talking to multiple men. It's like being on the bachelorette, you're trying to receive that final rose from her.
