It has zero to do with br.

It's biology. Why would I invest in a 29 year old who has ran through the tinder gauntlet when I can do so with someone who is 23?

No one is suggesting marriage or divorce. But without any serious relationship ever for your entire prime year's?


But you know I speak truth with my statement.


How many times did I have to defend myself on here when I first actively started posting because I was 30 and never had been married before? Didn't matter that I had been in serious relationships and even engaged once. I had never been married, so clearly something was wrong with me

That's the way of thinking there though.
sorry nurse but this isn't just a south or BR thinking totally


Yea a successful career minded woman a little older may be more prevalent out on the coast, but it's a universal thing for guys to be hesitant on a woman 29 that hasn't had successful serious relationships, and 10/10 times a guy will pass we for the 23 year old.

If you plan on staying in BR you need to accept that from a male standpoint....your expiration date for your "prime" years is very near.


This is not specific to BR though.

The being married, divorced, kids part is at 29 though

Don't you know that in the South, especially Louisiana, something is clearly fricked up with you if you have never been married by the age of 29?


31, never married, no kids.

My parents didn't have me and my twin brother until 32.

You are a product of your parents in my opinion.

I've had three major relationships in my lifetime (Greater than 3 years). Sometimes shite just doesn't pan out for some folks like myself. I have always been career driven and can honestly say I put money first right up to about now. I have this really bad fear of being poor.

Pretty sure choosing career over significant other is what ended 2 of them but the other we were both just young and needed to explore other options.

I know its fun to beat up on all of us approaching or over 30, but I kinda see it as an accomplishment of all the other things I did manage to do right.

Not a lot of people in this world (except for the OT duh) can say they have a college degree and make great money. Nor do they have any life altering strings another individual would have to deal with.

So on one hand yeah LadyTigress (If you are real) high five for doing you.

On the other hand, even in the Dallas dating pool typically a woman who is of your age and quality you show is typically taken. Even on the dating apps, typically (not all the time) most of the women approaching or over 30 either have a kid, been divorced once or more, or have a serious complex about them. There is also those who think they are still 25 and desire to party all the fricking time. Personally for me, as a man with a career and has to put in serious time to projects, I cannot keep up with those broads who desire to party every weekend lol...

"Ran through the Tinder gauntlet." So if someone is upper 20s, you think that means they have been slutting it up the whole time? Selective 29 y.o > slutty 24 y.o. It's more of a class thing than an age thing when it comes to # of partners.

It's a different mindset in larger cities(especially out of the South). Yes, many men want the younger 23 year old. But not all of them. Also, it's more acceptable for a woman to still be single in her later 20s and 30s. In those cities more people wait to marry because they want to establish their careers first. The formula of marrying in early 20s and popping out kids asap isn't as popular there.

I can care less how many dicks of been in a chick prior to me getting to know her if she's clean.

Yes I am aware the more dicks the higher the probability. This is why you do your due diligence in getting to know the person lol.

No, not necessarily. If you had bf/gf relationships etc during your 20s, id say your normal.

I'm just more likely to choose a 21-25 over you for commitment. When I used bumble I didn't even have 29 year olds as an option..21-27 swipe range

My statement doesn't apply to males though. I was talking about females though.

of course there are exceptions to the rule. We aren't talking about anything anecdotal.

But even out west and the east coast, apples for apples the guy is going with the 22/23 year old over the 29/30

I think I'm a few years older than you Rocket, and mine is/was set at 20-29 I think, with the lower number changing some but never the higher one

Yup. And it's funny: the 28+ year old always seems to be more picky and less chill than the younger girl.

Tigress even admitted being more picky now that she's older.

my parents got married at 19, sis at 20 and me at 23

Sis did not get married until in 30s and I've never been married....and never will be

Solid assessment, though

I wasn't saying they won't. Men will be men and think with the little head over the big head, I get that.


I was just saying the whole mindset of "a woman must be married in your 20s with kids by 30 or something is wrong with her" is more prevalent in the South.


And I'm so fricking glad I'm not single at my age. I don't know how my single girlfriends do it.

How old are you? If you are in your 30s and won't deign to date someone over 27, that's more of a reflection on your value system. You're clearly the type that will have a roving eye as you age, even if you do have a hot wife someday. Glad to know I avoided another dbag by being "too old." So, thanks!

ETA: wait.. you'd pick a 21 y.o to commit to before a 29 y.o who has her shite together? bless you.

Just so you know, statistically, you are past your point of peak attractiveness to men.
No.

I may have believed that when I was that age, but the older I get the more I find mid-30s-to-mid-40s women hot. Hotter than the younger ones, in fact. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but they are classier, more responsible, more open, more independent. Just sexier all the way around.
