Hows it been for you?
For me the biggest difference is in energy and tolerance. In my 20s I was more keen to forgive, give chances, overlook the red flags because "no rush people can change", and if it didn't work out I'd usually just find another one quickly. Breakups hurt like hell but rebounds did their job nicely. I had so much energrgy back then, was such a hot social butterfly, and was easily falling for goofy, love-bombing type of guys. I got burned on that couple of times. Now I'm just out on first red flag, I don't take dates very personal and have less excitment overall, until it has reached a safe point. Lots of small talks, but big thinking. Back then I'd get turned on when a guy sends me his abs or something romantic, now I get turned on when he sends me his achievements and collections, lol. Breakups still hurt like hell but now I need to take a sick leave and be by myself until I'm totally over it, and then maybe consider meeting someone new. But the funny ironic thing is that it seems like now and the older I get, I have more sexual energy, which is the opposite for most men my age, unfortunatelly. But not a big deal anyway.

same for me in 20s girls told me they hope i will change... pretty foolish so i told back, if you change i will change and she exploded "i dont need to change" and dumped me.
in 30s they do not try to change you but they do hint their preferences how i should dress and i nod but dress how i want.
20s… (more so early 20s) focus more on what I “want”ed with those dancers, athletic, hip, or artists type that are “nice guys” etc
30s… I focus more on what do I “need” and know what I want more. etc.
Night and day.
In my 20's I was asking women out and getting rejected by them.
