We probably have all heard the old adage, "Just when you stop looking for something, that is when you find it." Trouble is it is largely BS. But what to do? Mostly find stuff to do that keeps you happy. You might luck into something, as happens from time to time. Find something like exercising/running, Karav Maga, whatever that will put you in proximity to at least some women. You hear women want a friend first (I think that tends to be true) but might also be told to try to avoid being put into the "friend zone." Also, do remember that what women want changes a lot as they get older, guys too of course. On the other hand, as men and women age, there are fewer of us and more of them. So your chances are going up, literally on a daily basis. If and when you get a chance to engage with a young lassie, avoid topics like hunting, trapping, (do they still do that??) don't smoke if she is a non smoker. Should you keep firearms maybe not talk about that right away. Keep the focus on her instead of me, me, me. As Paul Stanley said about Gene Simmons in his book, "For a guy with such a great vocabulary, he sure says I a lot!" Good luck!

It also helps living in a city (not necessarily a HUGE city like NY or LA), where there's plenty to do, and not in a rural county with only 1,500 souls and barely any activities.
No matter what. If you live in a rural abandoned area, chances of meeting someone are extremely low. And no dating App will help you with that. Where I live right now there are only goats, chickens, fields and lots of old people walking around. Sure, it's very calm, compared to a big city like Milan or Rome. And the air during the Spring/Summer season is so pure. But after living for nearly 3 years in a county like this, sure as Hell you start to go crazy. If you have the means, move to a city.

And if you still don't get a woman, even after you bought a dog, at least you'll have a loyal best friend for a long time.

On the topic of being set up for dates (blind dates or otherwise) with friends of your pals girlfriends & wives:
As someone who has been the "beneficiary" of this kind of stuff during some single spells, I would not recommend it. Firstly, none of them led to any sort of relationship. Secondly, several of them did lead to awkwardness. Like my friend's girlfriend suddenly acting stand-offish because the date with her BFF was a disaster. Or having awkward encounters with a girl you had a bad date with at a BBQ where you are both invited as friends of the couple hosting. The chance of success is probably not any greater than with any other date, but the potential for awkward situations is much more real, just because you have a pre-existing connection to the woman in question. Much safer to try dating someone your friends don't have a relationship with. Also, separately from this, I didn't meet any of my longest term girlfriends and what I would consider my best/healthiest relationships in any sort of conventional setting. One of them I met at an antiques auction. The other when we were both working for the same volunteer lifeguard post during Summer. |

Everyone's perspective is different.
There is some truth to what Johnny Cage says, but I would say my success rate is better than his with dates that were set up by mutual friends/acquaintances. They've led to more than a few casual physical relationships and two proper ones. I do not think it's necessarily a better way to meet people than just going down to their local watering hole and seeing who you can meet there. The only advantage is that you are both showing up with the same intention. But that doesn't mean anything if there is no attraction whatsoever. But your age should not be a factor in any of this. I got a lot more pussy in my thirties than I did in my twenties. It's all just a state of mind, if you want to go out there and hook up you can do so, you just have to have the intent and the courage. From what I have read, much of it seems to be the OP being preoccupied with the fact that most of his friends have started families or are at least in long-term relationships? But that doesn't mean anything, everyone gets to that point in their own time. If they ever do. Does not mean you have to be alone in the meantime. |
