Actively dating means they are not building good relationships. My experience so far is women over 30 are dead inside and way less attractive which means I'm not willing to go to much effort for them. I'm mid-30s, look a little younger than my years and relatively good looking so getting dates is pretty easy. But finding that "spark" that starts a relationship is a completely different matter.

Care to elaborate?


They lose their looks but maintain high standards for men. This leads to them waiting for a man who is less and less likely to appear with each passing year. Many want children but know it's already too late. The clock has run out. The fire is gone. Many are on anti-depressants or in therapy etc. After many relationships they seem to lose their ability to bond with a man. And most of them don't truly get any fulfilment from work, hobbies, friends etc. Not having children is a huge void in their lives which they often fill with cats.


The sentences at the start might be brutal but true. However...

I think you're projecting some very unhelpful stereotypes. Women aren't just breeding machines. Nothing wrong with therapy. And I know many who are doing just fine with work, hobbies, friends, etc.


If they were doing fine with work, hobbies, friends etc. they wouldn't be on dating apps.


Oh, I didn't realize you were talking specifically about people on dating apps...
