I certainly hope 31 is not old, as I am 34 next month! Age is only to keep track of how long we have been on this earth, and to have an excuse to eat cake at least once a year...btw, you are lovely, any man who passes you by is not worth your time :)

It depends. If you've looked after yourself you can still look good well into your 30s.

However, a lot of women post-30 have children, multiple failed divorces, emotional issues and STD's. You can't expect a man to take that on.

Old at 31? I must have missed that chapter.
For me, it just keeps getting better all the time...

Lulu - Depends very much on the culture you live in.
In western Europe, no one even thinks about having children until they're in their 30's.
(Which is why their populations have been in a free fall since WW II.)
In eastern Europe and, I suppose, much of Asia, if you're single and childless at 25, you might as well take up crochet, bake some cookies and call yourself a spinster old maid.
In North America, legend has it that women enter their 'prime' in their 40's, but research (?) shows that complication-free childbirth can be a little bit of a problem after 35.
Perhaps that's why here in New Mexico, most local girls get pregnant by a current or future jailbird when they're 14-16........

Sceneatthe sea, a lot of 22 year olds have kids, failed marriages, emotional issues and STD's also. That stuff isn't age related, in a day and age when girls are having their first kid at 15!

I totally believe thats it all depends on the person, Ive met men & women that are 30 and act 60 something... and then again on the flip side, they act like teenagers..
sooo, in answer to you question, you seem to be a very beautiful person, no Im not bi, I know beauty inside and out when I see it...
move to the United States girl!!!!!

ha ha..

this is just so true all over Asia, when a girl reaches 24 and she's not married they start to feel panicky!!
There's not much can be said it seems to be deeply ingrained in Asian culture, but it is very strange from my western perspective, I wouldn't want to be with someone under 30!!

let's all move to asia....

here in china ,if a gril is over 30,it is so difficult to meet a boyfriend,as many men think a gril is a old gril,many men perfer young gril.

It was much like that here in Australia & other western countries previously lulucheng, however, things have changed over the years - present. Most people are now marrying & have children later.

some men is 40-50,they desire to meet women is below 30!

I think that ^ applies universally.

other side if is a woman divorced,it is difficult to meet boyfriend and husband

Yes, well the divorce rate is much lower there in the east compared - the west.

but in china,30 is good age for housewife,mother ,not be a single
30 is for chinese single woman has some difficulty,my friends and colleagues are most married,nowadays in shanghai 30 single woman more than before,but compare to married single over 30 is very less,in other little city of china,woman usually married 25 years,
if a girl over 30 not married people around her would wonder why she not marry ?she is old gril,etc...,dont like west society,choose single is private.
so sometimes feel is really 30 is really old?that is come from social compressive stress

Yes, there are many differences in our various cultures.
There's many men & women of various ages here, however, someone that is 31 certainly isn't considered old here. Even though I'm 47, I'm not an old girl either I'm a mature woman.
The things that people - all cultures soon learn is that many people here have previously been in a relationship/married, & everyone on internet dating sites isn't honest or decent, thereby, selecting a friend - potential partner is normally done so carefully.
good luck

It is not like that at all here in the USA. A 31 year old woman is virtually young here. A woman might still be settling in to a profession in her 30s. I am 40 and not married and the possibilities are still open for me.

61 is not old for a woman if you look, act, and enjoy yourself as a much as any 30 year old......

Blue......you are good no matter your age......and just keep on being the way you are..... ....oh....and while you are there being yourself.....get me a beer......

OT......Age is but a number needed to get you started at birth..... What you do with that start, and how you take care of yourself will make all the difference, and not your birth certificate......

Just my opinion......

Years ago here in the west thirty may have been the "hill" year for women but it definitely is not now. In fact, I don't think there is here. What is it about Chinese society that would make you feel that old at 30, especially since you are single? Here in the US, it may actually be looked up on nowadays to be 30 and never married because a lot of who are 30 or over, men or women, have had bad relationships. In the USA and Canada the average woman is 26 or so when she marries but it's just a number. Hopefully things will change there in China.

p.s. The OP is a beautiful woman..I couldn't see any western man rejecting her for being 31 and single!

I think you have to look at the society and the sexual revalution that woman are going through. Woman are not being brought up with the 1940's attititude of how a relationship should be... With the onslot of new emotions that woman are taking on they are now forging a new attitude for future females. You can see it on this site.. you can see it on society! You should take a self evaluation of your life and see were you want to be and how to get there. If your 30 and happy..GREAT.. but if you fell like your missing something liek a mate....you should change your habbits in a way that will give you your desired need. From your PIC you look good and your profile sounds great. It also sounds like you should take a hike out to the country and look for all those men that might need a good mate like yourself! Endulge! You only live once!

I am working right now in Korea. Women who are not married in Korea by age 32 are like failures in the eyes of some Koreans. Also, the men by 36 get serious questions from family if they didn't get married by then. Also, the women have huge, huge pressure to be very thin in this country. Many women who are average in the West are considered fat here, and they will tell them that they are fat and should go on a diet. East Asia is much rougher on women than North America. I will say that is definitely true. North American women should consider themselves lucky because the men as bad as they can be in North America are sometimes some of the best men in the world... East Asia has attitudes that used to be in the West maybe 30 years ago or even 40-50 years ago.

move to Canada then, men love women in there 30's here, it's actually seen as a turn on to be older if you still have it going on. We can't do anything about how old we are, so we have to learn to be OK with it, be the best you can be, that's all you can do.

I'm the youngest 37 year old you'll ever meet and I know I'm not old, nor will I be in 5 years or 25. I'm gonna age like Cher!

In my city, the majority of professionals don't get married until their mid to latte 30's so 30 is in no way old.
Then again every guy I know would be in heaven knowing someone like lulu would be available and looking.
