re: The Bitterness of Missing Out on Love

Nobody is perfect man. Maybe you are the piece to turn that women into a loving wife. Marriage isn’t some fairytale. Life has trials and tribulations and to make a marriage work long term both have to realize that neither partner is perfect and you will have to live with their shortcomings.
But it goes back to the fact that I'm 36 now. Even if I do go out and aggressively date I feel like I'm going to have to make a choice:
A) Date women closer to my age (30 and up) who will most likely be divorced/separated/out of a bad relationship and possibly have kids.
or
B) Date a woman significantly younger than me (early, mid, maybe late 20s) which typically causes its own issues. Never mind women in that age range will typically be more superficial and we might not have as much in common. Never mind we would've grown up in very different times.
Neither option is great and I have no clue which way to go in that regard.

Put your phone down, go somewhere and interact with real people.

That's your problem, overthinking.
Love, romance can be damaged by overthinking. It's fatal.

What is so wrong with that though? Think of it this way....those women have likely(hopefully) learned what NOT to do in a relationship and will take that knowledge into the next relationship.
Also....nowadays you have more professional women in their 30s who have never married as well and don’t want kids.

I'm not really a relationship dude anymore, but this is a failure mentality. You're already telling yourself what you will find before you even look. With that attitude, if you actually found someone high quality and worth making sacrifices for you would feel unworthy.

I can tell why you’re single

I honestly had some sympathy for you until this post.
You don’t want to find love. You want to wallow in self pity. Defeatist attitude that someone thinks he’s too good for pretty much anyone.
You need to see a therapist for a while before you start dating imho. You have deeper issues than you realize and if those aren’t corrected then you’ll never be able to sustain a meaningful long term relationship. I hope you find happiness and get off your high horse.
