All you people going on about a shallow dating pool by 30 must live in a small town. In DFW area, the dating pool of over 30 women with no kids, attractive etc. is huge. My single friends are killing it dating women their own age.
You're just proving their point. The women that your friends are "dating" 30+ are clearly just bang buddies. They aren't marriage material and never will be.

True. One problem here is there are a lot of people that think they are Shreveportant. (Shreveport Important) And they really aren’t anything special, done anything significant with their lives and really haven’t lived anywhere but here or Dallas. But still have this idea that you should feel special just because they let you talk to them. Then they end up dating the shallow douchebags that cheat on them or treat them like crap.

Whatever society accepts is one thing, but my hope for my son is that he finishes college, establishes himself for a few years, then looks for someone around his age or maybe a little younger who is similar to him as far as economics and life goals. From what i can tell, those couples seem happiest long term.

Life will not turn out this way. He should date for marriage/long-term. End of story. Anything less is a waste of time and will only groom him in behaviors that are poisonous to any long term arrangement.
The problem with the latest generations is that the dating marketplace has become a game about sex and instant gratification. Most people are doing this from 15-28, virtually their entire dating life. Anytime a relationship gets a little rocky they jump to the next, no problem. They never have to stick through anything or deal with any difficulties because the marketplace is full of new exciting partners a click away. Why stick around ?
By the time they think they're ready to marry (aka when they can't hop around partners as easy) they have no ability to deal with relationship adversity. Their mind has been groomed for the entire life up to that point to trade around and trade up. They can't even fathom not being able to get out the second they feel up to it.

there is definitely a click(or however it's spelled,) that does have a little stroke, not quite sure how, that's very narrow minded and backward thinking that helps perpetuate the shittiness that is Shreveport, if it's not their idea, or doesn't benefit them, no dice

I've never been on a dating app but I at least know about how they work. I find the whole job interview type of approach to meeting someone kind of impersonal and off putting for some reason.

For most of us, things rarely work out the way you had them planned in your head.

a friend of mine at work was writing something down with a pencil, I remarked that I don't see that often, he didn't even raise his head and said that he wished he'd lived his life in pencil so that he could erase a lot of it

Dating apps do get exhausting after a while. It's fun at first but the constant interview dates get old quick.
ETA: I am guilty of cutting out at the first sign of conflict. It's just too easy to meet a new woman. It is not healthy though and I acknowledge that. Old habits die hard.

I wasn't really mature enough for marriage and kids at the time but it happened to me pretty fast and I had to figure it out pretty quickly

Spot on.
Dating should be discernment for marriage.

Couldn’t agree more. He’s disheartened and feeling like he’s the only one his age (18) not out there getting laid all the time. I told him his friends are probably exaggerating and it’s better to wait for the right one than just sleep with anyone and end up with a low class baby mama or STD.

Did that. After 12 years she walks out of the relationship. Great house, job, no debt, home every night and no cheating, and she says she wants a divorce.
Women are liars and family pedigree means something. They always turn into their mother no matter what they say.

There are hot younger educated women in the br area , idk how to find them
Posted on 12/23/20 at 1:17 pm to Boo Krewe
Based on the kinds of educated ones I see sticking in BR, I would find the kinds of bars and other places frequented by doctors and lawyers.
Most mid-level corporate types tend to live elsewhere. And I don’t consider “pharmaceutical reps” to necessarily be educated.
