| Is 30's the dead zone in dating?
Posted: 3/26/2008 12:01:05 PM | From my observation, I think a lot of people in their 30's are married/in a LTR or are just about to get divorced/separated. That's why the number of single 30's people is smaller than some of the other age groups.
Happy fishing!  | |

Posted: 3/27/2008 8:28:49 PM | 30's is definately a dead-zone, too many women in this demographic are way to busy in their careers to even consider a relationship.
I am not sure, as I'm 34 years now, 40's could proove to be a very stuborn crowd - so who really knows.

Posted: 3/30/2008 6:26:34 AM | Like someones already said...Ive found it somewhat fun and or inviting to date women older or younger. Definitely different mindset as to what is my age. Its actually been a couple of years since I dated someone within 2 yrs of my own age. That was fun but the mindsets were still totally different.
Thing is, as I look at the question I think the amount of dates I've been on or lengths of each relationship has not changed since I was younger..ermmm much younger. So I guess im living up to my usual which isnt bad. All in all though ive learned one major thing about dating my entire life...keep a project handy for the lull times. So now I have 1 dirtbike that needs rebuild and about to finish up repairs and re-rig on an 18 foot center console. ( not to mention property to work on down in charleston sc ). | |

It's a fun ride if you choose to do the driving.
Partner or no partner, go out, have fun.
Your 30+ will find ya! | |

Posted: 8/3/2008 8:35:41 AM | Being single is tough. Some days are better than others, for example when I see two people together that are arguing with each other or calling each other names, that is when I am truly have to have my single status.
On the otherhand, when I see people that are compatible for each other and get along, and have a real friendship, and they treat each other with respect and care. That is when I feel like I am missing out on a good friendship with a man..
That is when I feel lonely. But what if you never meet the right person, how do you accomplish being alone and not lonely? That is what I am striving for! | |

Posted: 8/3/2008 8:31:44 PM | I am smack dab in my 30s and they haven't been a dead zone for me. It depends on where you look. I've been in graduate school on and off for the last six years (starting at the tail end of my 20s) and that's where all the 30somethings are. TONS of them. I met them everywhere in the library, coffee shops, at the dry cleaners and I didn't seem to run into that many who were married or divorcing. Most were like me; no kids and sort of Gen Xers in that regard.
If you go to a large-ish university town with lots of graduate programs you will find a buffet of cute, smart 30 something ripe for the pickings! | |

Posted: 9/27/2008 4:35:04 PM | My 30's have been more of a golden age for dating. I have my own place, my finances are stable, I'm still in great shape physically, mentally I believe I'm a much better person than I've ever been, and I have all the free time I need to get out and have fun. There are so many more advantages to dating at this age than when I was younger. The expectation when I was younger was to find a mate and live happily ever after. Now it is to go out, enjoy the date, and if we enjoyed each other's company, do it again sometime. If you relax, keep it all in perspective, keep a positive attitude, and enjoy meeting new people, dating in your 30's is a blast!

Posted: 9/27/2008 8:29:53 PM | | I have been in my 30's or going on 25 years now, and I don't find it much of a dead zone. Some of the gals I have dated have ALSO been in their 30's for 20+ years, as evidence by their profile photos... | |

Posted: 9/27/2008 11:19:14 PM | | Believe me, the 40's is the REALLY DEAD zone, or when you meet some of these guys, the WISH you were dead instead of on this date zone....If you're in your 30's you can still reasonably date someone in their 20's, not an option when you're in your 40's...ewww! | |
