Does dating become harder when you're older?

Is dating harder when you're 30+

Yes

No

[DaveJord]

So, when I was younger, I was out more and everyone in my age group was single and out just like me. All I had to do was shake a tree and women would fall out of it. Young people had less expectations and were more about having fun and doing fun stuff and a lot more open minded.

After 30 and into my 40's, it got hard... because most women my age were already married or recovering from all the dramatic or traumatic relationships issues they had in their youth. The population of dating women got smaller, and for the ones that were out there still had a lot of expectations and/or insecurities because as they get older the clock ticks get louder.

For me, it has become easier. Online dating is very convenient, older women are more direct, less dramatic, play fewer games, and better know what they want in a partner. And I am more confident, and know more about what I want in a partner. If I have a first date and it is not a good match, I walk the lady to her car, thank her for meeting me, and tell her that I don't think we are meant to be; they all appreciate my honesty and none of them have ever gone postal on me.

Guys are always asking me out and I’m over 30

[coachTanthony]

Yes it's just the way it is. Just make sure you know what you want and don't settle for anything less.

[Summeroflove]

It can be for sure but it’s not impossible

[Blackmoonsns]

It can be but I find as we get older people's preferences and their standards tend to go up instead of going down for some reason people tend to get this ID and their head for if they've had children they went to school or they've done you know x y or z that their value has gone up but real value comes from personality behavior are you a trustworthy person is this person in it for the long haul or do they keep general good company with them. It also depends on their past as well did they have a great childhood operating or do they have a poor one is this a superficial person or is this a humble person.

[Adam1978]

Not the process but finding someone to date is getting harder. If you find someone it's not harder than when you are young might actually be easier since both should have settled down and knows themselves.

[WildCard42]

I have the personality of a person 25 - 30 so I seem to still get attention so far.

I just have to stay in shape.

[Andres77]

You have a better idea what you want, how to identify bullshit, and you can afford fun activities. And, hopefully, you don’t have patience for immature behavior. Wiser is better.

[motownplayer2000]

Yeah. You see a lot of the other sexes bullshit and they become less appealing.. mind you I didn’t say less attractive, just less appealing to approach

[LiamJHayden]

Probably. More people married in the age range, and many who aren't went through bitter divorces.

[Jerre]

Actually, I think it has been easier. I frequent a local pub and have no problem in finding a new acquaintance to date.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yes cause as you get older you get smarter and you expect more plus you'll have zero tolerance for bullshit

[Adaeva]

Obviously it does for women; not as much for men.

[Nikki1989]

No, it is much easier.

[Anonymous]

In general, only for women.

[moviedude714]

I would think so

[Anonymous]

I'm 44 and still single

[eagle1951]
