I don't think there is such an age. I don't think it ever gets more difficult. If anything it may get easier since there tends to be less game playing as people get older.

I think what this is really about, is that when someone reaches an older age and has never had a partner, it begs the question of what's changed? If what was done in the past hasn't worked, and nothing has changed, then they will continue doing what hasn't worked. Whether it's by choice, or not by choice, it hasn't worked.

I'd say by mid 30s to 40ish, if that pattern has been established and nothing changes, then the odds for the future are fairly low. That doesn't mean it's more difficult, because it's not. It just means their methods aren't working.

On the other hand, sometimes people DO change in this regard. In that case the odds can be quite good as they age.

As I said, there tends to be less game playing as people age. I'm 61 and I sometimes joke that we need to get straight to the point since we might keel over any minute. :) Ain't got time for no game playing.

The answer changes, according to age and sex.
When they are younger than 30, women have the easy ride.
By age 35, there is a power reversal and women find it much more difficult than men do.

[Kkaos]

So true.

[Asker]

@Kkaos what causes the power reversal?

[Kkaos]

My take on it would be that physical attractiveness plays a much larger part in a woman's overall attractiveness compared to men. Women are in their prime in their early twenties in that regard. However with men, status, maturity and wealth contribute a large amount to a man's attractiveness, men don't really obtain these things until their later years making them attractive at an older age.

Also the fact that women are more likely to date older men than men are to date older woman. Which is probably because most women like a man who is more dominant and therefore they'll perceive an older more experienced man to be at that level.

Those factors are what cause the reversal in my opinion.

This video is 37 minutes in duration, but it is worth 37 minutes of your life.
It will help you to understand how and why the sexual dynamic between men and women changes 180 degrees by the time that women are 35 years old.

I think that by the time I was 24, I still had many men interested in me... it depends on your social circle and if you have the personality to meet a lot of people. I was 18-23 and single because I was just still finding myself but I met my husband at 24. I'm sure even at 30+ you can find someone, it's all depends on your personality and how easy it is for you to connect with someone.

[siempreparaiso]

At 40 years old and up... but it's how you hold yourself and know that 40 is just a number and you can choose to be either a fun gity person or act like life just ended and move on to being old and boring. I choosed to be ambitious. 🤗 that's me only.

It's not the age but how you are as a person. If you lack confidence and not compatible with anyone, you can be 18 but nobody would want you. Or you can be 40 and all the boys are in the yard. lol

[Anonymous]

As you age it becomes more difficult because you become more picky.

[Asker]

Both genders become more picky?

[heavensgift2girls]

It depends. For guys as long as you have a stable income, it tends to get easier as time goes on, starting in about your mid thirties. Especially with all of those thirsty, aging, single moms. However if the man has been ruined from a previous divorce, and doesn't even own his own home by the time he is 50, then he will likely struggle to find a partner.

Also women love guys with a college education. Because women want a guy that is "on her level" and there are more women going to college than men. As a result the guys that go to college have a much easier time. So there are different ways that men can continue to attract women as he gets older.

For women it is pretty much all downhill for them, as they get older. Women tend to start to lose their looks at about 25, with it being really noticeable when they hit about 30. From there it gets a little harder for them each year. These women can still get laid easily, but they struggle trying to get a quality man to make a commitment to her, which would have been easy for these women, when they were in their 20's.

[zagor]

The first hit is when you finish your education and are no longer meeting new people all the time. But, depending on your job and where you live, you may still have a lot of opportunity to meet single people at work or in activities.

Then when you get into your thirties, all of a sudden there aren't as many single people you run into, and the ones you do meet may now have kids or be getting out of a bad relationship/marriage. However you are still young enough to meet someone in the same situation or in their 20's.

I think there is probably another stage after that, at which point people have just stopped looking, you are no longer attractive to younger people, and just meeting people becomes much more difficult because most people have already found their mate or had their kids.

[Kithor]

I don't think I'm old enough to really say, but everyone I know pretty much tells me the same thing. To quote my bus driver:
"Duuuuudde. I'm not trying to be mean or anything but honestly... I think you're fucked; every girl your age already has kids."
The question really depends on whether or not you want to be a stepfather.

[skytatoe]

For straight up Pimp ass motherfuckers like me? never

For you chumps? It all started when you were born son

hahahaha jks <3

I think its different for men and women. Men its not such a problem, maybe when you're physically unable to fuck it gets harder.
Women like 30 + starts getting harder.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Do to people pursing education and career a lot more than previous generations and getting married later in life around early 30's I would say after 30's it's pretty hard to find a good spouse that isn't divorce, slept around a lot or has a couple of kids by then.

Voted wrong. I meant to vote after 33..

[Pink1996]

From what i've witnessed from people around me. If you've hit 30 years old or are nearing 30 then it gets difficult to find someone who matches you because most are already taken

[MissDyno]

I think 30s because most people would probably be married or getting married and having babies. I think after 45, you start to meet like minded people who are also in your position and it doesn’t get as hard.

[Guardian412]

I'm 37 and right now its easier to find a partner than ever before. And all my partners were between 25-30. So right now I'm in the Golden Age. :)

[poiuyrvhgd]

Hilarious - load of folks in their 20s sharing their wisdom about how people on their 30s/40s are over the hill!!!

[jessture]

Well I found once I hit 30 my market value skyrocketed. I don't even have to give a shit and I can have as much sex as I want.

[mouse3]

Well give if you are a woman give me your number 😂😂

[jessture]

WTF?

[raspberry0416]

For women- after 35-ish
For men- after 40-ish
But this is only if you want to settle down and have kids. If you're not looking for that then you can find love at any age.

[cth96190]

Based on my experience, I think that you set the male age far too young.
Perhaps a big factor in male sexual market value is how well the male has maintained himself.
Thanks to a life-long devotion to karate, I am in excellent physical condition for my age. I have also been blessed with good genes. I look at least a decade younger than my real age.
This is how things changed.
When I was a teenager and then a 20-something I could almost not get a date, because I was not a bad boy.
Once I was on the wrong side of 30, things began to change.
Before long, I found that women were making their interest plain in all sorts of ways in all sorts of situations.
The older that I have become, the more blatant that women have become in their displays of interest. This has included straight up sexual propositions. Although I am 60, last year I was propositioned by a woman of 35.
Daddy issues, perhaps?
Even young women flirt with me. Again, perhaps it is daddy issues, or they like the silver fox look.

[raspberry0416]

@cth96190
... Okay

[Supertst]

After 15. Most people have a kid or are permanently stupid 😂😂

[DNB1994]

Late - 20’s. But it’s still incredibly hard for me now. But I’m not giving up. I’ll most likely meet someone at work. Lots of married people do.

[Hungry_Shark]

Either you settle for mediocrity or remain single.
Finding a perfect person is unicorn Nowdays.

[Afrochick]

After 30 since most people have had a kid or 2, or on their way to marriage.

[zagor]

Almost everyone I know didn't have kids til 30's.

[Nice222]

Maybe thirty then most of the available people you meet will be divorced and have children. That can be ok but it also can be a lot to deal with.

[Anonymous]

Men become more masculine and successful. Women are old maids by 16. Its really a cruel joke on them

[teaforbooks]

Most likely after 30-35

[Anonymous]

For men it gets easier as you get older

[zagor]

Only after about 65, when the relative mortality rates really start to become evident.

[Opinion Owner]

@zagor no it gets easier by late 20s. There’s data backing that up.

[zagor]

It is MUCH easier to meet women when you are in early 20's than when you get older.

[Opinion Owner]

@zagor you meet more women but those women are meeting masses of men. Yes you need to make more of an effort to find single women when a little older. But the dating landscape shifts. Basically men tend to date towards women in their early 20s. So women in their early 20s, while mainly dating other young guys, a lot more of them are dating outside their age range (up) than is true for men. So there are significany more single men than women in early 20s. But every older age group it’s then flipped with more men dating out (younger) than women dating out (more older). So there’s actually fewer single men than women past about 27.

[zagor]

That is true; men (me included) are usually much more likely to be willing to go younger than older.

[Deeves82]

Once your 40 I would think
