And about why you might not be able to get date.. The "childish" part in your post might explain some of it... If you are almost 30 and acting childish it aint cute anymore. Most will expect you to act like a grown up at that age, and the ones that like childish behavior would just date someone in his late teens because it might seem cute and fun at that age. (and yes i know every women has different taste, so obviously im not talking about EVERY women on the planet)

Lol seeing my own post from another topic here, haha

For me, childish means the opposite of mature. You can be mature and fun, just because someone isnt childish doesnt mean they are boring. There are things you can get away with when being 18, but 10 years later in life would be expected to know better and be more responsible

Fun is by definition childish
Mature is serious

Fun is by definition childish
Mature is serious

Not sure about original definition, but calling someone childish doesnt always means they are 'fun'
Like:
- "I'm so sick of his childish behavior" (he is not being funny, just annoying, most likely lacks responsibility/acting stupid)
- "He is having one of these childish tantrums again!" (again its not being fun, he is most likely making a huge deal out of something that shouldnt be, and acting like a 5 years old)
- "Thats such a childish thing to say" (saying something stupid, you wouldnt expect from someone at his age)

Okay sly, if all the women where you live follow the same pattern that you describe, I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps you should move somewhere else.

I agree. Finding your first love at an advanced age has that "something's missing!" feel to it. At that age, you can't just cast off all seriousness of life and simply enjoy each other. Or go on crazy, off-the-wall adventures. Or try a dangerous hobby. Or dance in the city streets without looking weird. (Somehow, that's more socially acceptable in your 20's and 30's.) Basically, follow your passions without onlookers thinking it's "cute".


Can do all of those easily (if I wanted to).


Indeed. And screw what people think. The older i get, the more likely i am to dance in the streets. Looking weird doing it? Really, who cares!? Being older doesn't require one to sit on a porch with a broom yelling at hoodlums and their shenanigans while being uber serious and only able to discuss funeral arrangements.
And 40-50 is far from old and decrepit. It seems it when you're 20..the same way 20 seems it when you're 10.

If anything, relationships are better with age.

Yes, because many if not most 26-30 year old women are adults who want adult relationships that, yes, involve commitment and maybe even kids down the line. That being said, there are plenty of girls your age who like camping and aren't necessarily into insta-commitment. Being 26+ doesn't automatically make girls boring and serious.

If you want to have the sort of relationship people tend to have in their late teens/early 20s then your best bet is to date girls in their late teens/early 20s - who are unlikely to care that you don't earn much since they're not necessarily thinking long-term.

(nobody begrudges anybody the occasional hot, like, 19 yo, but nothing but hot, dopey, high school age girls when you're in your late 20s tells the world that there is something serious off about you that girls your age want nothing to do with you).

You attitude that 2) getting a girlfriend is a ton of terribly difficult work that you suck at and don't even want to get started on and 2) girls your age are old and boring might be part of the reason why you're not having much luck. You make it sound like effort you're disinclined to expend.

Also aspies seem to mature socially slower then nuts so while you and aspie lady might feel and act like a teenager, nt women on their 30s likely don't.


Sure, so you better go for the aspies then and ignore the NTs. Problem solved. :wink:

At 28 I already have back pains. All the 30 old women I met are very serious no fun. Having kids and being all motherly and such.


I know a whole group of 30+ old women that are everything but super-serious, and that love to play games. Stop complaining and go find them instead.

I've never had and so desire a relationship people had when they were 18-25 that's the mindset I'm in and do possibly why making lots of money doesn't concern me however women. Be all like gig gotta make good money so when I have kids in few years I can stay at home. Like even at 26-30 they thinking settle down, family, house etc. while I'm thinking go camp in woods and have fun etc


Well, if you do get kids, you have a legitimate reason to be like a child. :mrgreen:

ya, oh well, since some people are late bloomers, that's part of life not being fair I guess.
