Dating after 30, is this picture true or false?

Question

SydneySentinel · Accepted Answer

It's actually kind of a sobering thought... wow I'm 30 and I don't think this "forever" relationship is going to happen for me. Then again, it's better to be solo than to force something to work that isn't good for you or ideal.

SiennaSurfer · Accepted Answer

In some ways older people are less experimental as they’re more aware of what particular things they want by this point. But they’re also more open in other areas because of life experience and better understanding.

andreasderjuengere · Accepted Answer

It is not true if we interpret this statement as being 'desperate' for just ANYONE to give us attention.
It is true when we assume that with age we gain tolerance and have learned about how to set realistic goals.

Edanurus · Accepted Answer

Nah as you get older you learn the types of people you don't want. Though i guess you dont worry so much about the little things

VIVANT · Answer

Lol Funny though 😊

Hmm can’t say with any authority but my guess is that frame of mind is personality not age. There are twenty year olds singing that tune. People get older learn more about themselves can see many things More clearly and develop cares they had not had in the past. Let go of things that don’t really matter to them now.

I mean even at my age I can say the above allies to me. In general not only in relationships.

I suppose anyone stuck in their past will always be prone to feeling like life is a let down and everything is settling.

I think if you are growing my new and different will not feel like settling.

CherryRoseChampange · Answer

I disagree, my boyfriend is in his 30s. Picky as fuck lol.

And I know some other folks in their 30s & 40s who are even picker now that they're older. They want to come with a full package or else it's the door smh.

I'm sure some might feel this way though.

Finchie40 · Answer

Pretty much true , considering when we hit r 30's we are at a point in life that we dont want to deal with drama we Just want to settle and be have someone love us the way we want love them. We are done with the games , your 20's is mainly exploring. and having fun , playing the field not really knowing what We want considering r 20's we mostley r selfish living the party life for the most part so 30's we tend to want to just settle down and stop the games

Sensmind · Answer

Not sure of the meaning of the meme BUT if it means this is not our first time around the block, we should really forget types and dating checklists ( apart from inbuilt ones like if you have kids etc) instead just look at do we have a connection and is it feasible.
To a degree it is true, a lot more than when you are 21 but I think at any age there will always be a little checklist to be ticked off though as I said probably slightly different. Older people just won't settle for a warm body.

Reaperbot666 · Answer

I mean I am open to the idea of dating pretty much anyone. so long as they are generally healthy and like how they look physically. while having a good personality.

the older you get the more baggage you might have (former relationships / kids / etc.). but in the end we all pretty much just want to be happy. with or without someone else close by.

MusicMayhem · Answer

I'd say it's more applicable to women in their late 20s as they still have hopes of having kids but are aware they're running out of time to find a guy, get settled in a relationship, move in together, and finally get married and have kids.

I've found women in their 30s have more of an indifferent attitude towards men (kinda like mid 20s women) as they know they aren't having kids so don't have the time pressures to find the one so can afford to be picky.

0112358 · Answer

No. I'd say people do drop some standards, but often have new ones, plus most people with age are dealing with baggage that causes them to avoid certain types of partners.

Truthatanycost · Answer

Nope. If you age well, you can end up with more muscle mass, a better looking frame, more wisdom, more confidence and still have a youthful look and energy. All of this means your likely to be even more picky.

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

It's not 100% true. You just get a little wiser about who they are, whether or not where they're from is a red flag or not, and if what they did will matter or not.

TheKack · Answer

Good lord, I hope not. If it is, I'm doing it wrong.

But really, I do think we are more open to finding the right person in places we didn't previously expect. I know that I'm way more open than i was the last time I was looking.

TripleAce · Answer

For women yes
She’s had her turn at all the usual suspects

The bad boy
The fuck boy
The big giant dick boy
The casuals
The threesomes
The fuck buddies

And then reality comes beaming through now when it comes time for a husband. Too bad she’s already used and abused like a peice of pork chop 😛

natasha3012 · Answer

I don't really think so... Depends from person to person. I know that married men tryna cheat lose out on all their standards. Lol

motownplayer2000 · Answer

It's called maturity. When all is said and done, everyone has a past. And have done things. It really doesn't matter what you did (barring getting diseases as a health risk) the only thing that's important is that connection and commitment

davjimmy22 · Answer

That is Ridiculous, If you don't have a Connection and Chemistry with someone why even waste your or the Other person's time.

Avicenna · Answer

Well, everyone certainly has a past at that age and if you're picky, it usually makes things much harder.

YvanKarma · Answer

Kind of yea, cos usually around that age you just wanna someone that is kind sweet and loving.. pretty much ready to settle.

PopeGregoryIX · Answer

False. My previous (first relationship where we also married for 15 years and separated last year) should not have lasted for nearly so long. Wrong on so many levels.

I have self-respect now. The next one has to be right.

dancing_in_nebulas · Answer

Only if she let herself go and has a kid. Only if he let himself go and has a crazy baby mama.

nerms123 · Answer

Lmao it’s actually been opposite for me. I was less picky when younger.

MajesticTwelve · Answer

LOL hell no. Dating after 25 is like... what baggage does THIS guy bring?

genericname85 · Answer

no it's more like swimming through a sea of fat single moms in order to find someone that looks decent without too much baggage.

Liam_Hayden · Answer

No, but I think maybe people shed some of their more absurd expectations that exclude 99% of the population..

Anonymous · Answer

Yes and no? Dont care where you are from or what you did but I have pretty fixed ideas about who you are and yes obviously I want you to love me.

AynonOMouse · Answer

Not for me. I am much more picky about their personality than I was when I was younger.

Blueeyes81 · Answer

No. People are even more picky. They've been there and done that and know what they want.

Nadim171 · Answer

One of my mother's friends is 40 now and found a true love this year and got married! So it's better to wait even if for so long to find the best person for you

bamesjond0069 · Answer

For girls i think so. Not for us men. For men its like hugh heffner on the girls next door. I feel like normal young self but i see myself doing some old man things (grey hair coming in, wearing comfy shoes that are ugly like idgaf, etc) and notice most girls are much younger than me. Such is life. No complaints. Dating is much easier now. More selection and much smoother.

Smegskull · Answer

As I've gotten older I've gotten more picky. But that may be to do with technology taking care of the functions I would have needed a partner for 1 by 1.

desidoll · Answer

Yes, but from what I see on gag, there are still many older men on gag with unrealistic standards, which is fine as long as they don't whine about not getting girls.

Kapakani · Answer

Nah... as I approach it I don't think so haha.

potater66 · Answer

I have learned too much to just let myself be in love with anyone even before 30

MannMitAntworten · Answer

I have zero clue what I am Supposed to glean from that photo, so I will say no, not true.

HereIbe · Answer

Desperation gets so many men laid after a certain age.

DDpsy · Answer

Hell no. That was more of how it was when I was 17.🤣

samael_kmarty · Answer

Can be, true most probably true cause some guys don't get in relationship

GreenGold1992 · Answer

sounds true, I like to think most people after age 30 are most likely to get their shit together.

StevieBlunder · Answer

I guess it could be true. People who are older tend care so much about somebody’s past, and where they’re from, as long as they feel a connection.

Holy_Ghost_Fire · Answer

It is false is what I'd say. It wouldn't apply to me in 4 years.

grizzlybearbite · Answer

Yes, fact! 😂 as a teenager, it was about the skinny blonde with big tits. Now? I'll take a 300 lb woman, with 3 kids, of any race/color/flavor/history. The sluttier/nastier the history, the better 😂😂😂

Dolemite510 · Answer

That just reminds me of this quote from Chris rock he was saying women are so picky in their youth but as they get older they’re just like as long as he’s got a dick and a job I’m happy 🤣

Kaazsz · Answer

You've got a child's notion of what it means to be 30.
