I'm guessing your perspective is from the "nice guy" and not the rugby playing, pushy salesman, white Audi Tdi S line driving, gym junkie, sleeve tat, larger than average watch, shoes with no socks type guys instead.

I'm guessing his perspective is this!

That's the opposite of what he said, isn't it?

Is this satire?

I'm best man at my mate's wedding in June. They met on E-harmony.

I can get away with that joke in the speech, right?

These single women in their 30s could have been in a relationship with a nice guy at any point in the last 15 years. Trouble is, they rejected these guys and dated the rugby playing, pushy salesman, white Audi Tdi S line driving, gym junkie, sleeve tat, larger than average watch, shoes with no socks type guys instead.

So they had 15 years on the carousel running up loads of debt and banging a never ending line of these Alpha type of guys. Once they get past 33 they suddenly decide they want to marry exactly the type of guy they rejected for all those years. They will lie about the amount of men they slept with and claim they had to date the bad boys as it made them realise what they wanted all along.

So all the debt goes away, they get a house and when they get bored they can divorce rape the man for the cash and prizes.

It is bit like paying full retail for a 15 year old ex-hire car and then being expected to pay for all the maintenance for the next owner.

I guess that's true, I agree about the stereotype about the TDI S-Line driver

Then again, the male TDI S-Line driver also does the same generally in terms of what he's looking for, high maintenance, lots of make up, wears heels all the time, drives a Fiat 500 type.

I am on a car group on Facebook where you rip into each others cars.
This guy had a financed Polo. air ride. other than that stock. had parked it somewhere like a .
I threw out the general stereotype about him wearing skinny jeans , and no socks, and all he had to say back was that my Mrs was ugly and I was fat. Great. Rather be fat than live with my mum
Anyway I did a bit of amateur sleuthing (on FB since it's banned on here) and his Mrs was the typical woman you'd expect of a guy like that and was very proud to be working as a Sales Assistant at Nike.

I think there is a biological impulse to panic around your 30s.
I was talking to my Mrs about kids and what would happen if I didn't want kids (I do).
And she said that we'd talk about why or whatever but if I didn't then she would have to consider her position in the long term.
Lucky I do I guess
If I didn't then I imagine around 30 things would change for the worse.

I'd rather be single than go out with one of those typical high maintenance women.
I've been with one in the past and she shagged her way around our car group and the level of narcissism was off the scale. Now I'm a bit wiser but until you have dealt with that type of thing you don't necessarily appreciate how bad it is.

I feel bad for the younger decent bloke or woman who is taken in by the douchebag type of person we are talking about here.

Outrageous

[garylythgoe]

I've actually been having thoughts very similar to this MGTOW concept, but now at least I know it's a thing.

I'm recently single and I've been experiencing all of the behaviours in this thread, so far.

I'm also sick to death of seeing all these stupidly positioned, pouty pictures with filters and effects on them, that actually render them nothing close to what they look like. I've used a dating app thing, and any woman that has any pictures like this - I'm out.

Also the pre-defined list of 'must haves' and 'must bes' is ridiculous.

I'm 5ft 7 so finding that a 5ft 2 girl, who strictly must have a 6ft+ bloke is absolutely ridiculous. Jog on love.

Conversations about hobbies, interests, things they get out of bed for.... Oh my god, since when do we live in such a boring world. Seeing friends, food, and just doing stuff, is the common response. Hilarious. So what it means, is spending loads of time on your phone thinking about 'whats next'.

[xjay1337]

Unfortunately some women seem to have the emotional range of a spoon and their only "hobby" is going out and getting wasted on a Saturday night.

I would hate to be single, I've been lucky so far everyone I've met has been organically through friends or contacts, I met one online on a blog but no-one on dating sites, I've never even signed up for a profile or anything so...

I doubt you would have much luck mate, but the right woman is out there, they aren't all stuck up or looking for the tall dark Spanish man.

You need to be living in a stty, one bedroom flat, have kids who think you're a loser and spend an abnormal amount of what money you have on tissues to join that club, I suspect. It's reads like a self help group for the pitiful failures and wretched examples of 'men'.

Gonna be a funny speech that one.

Emotional range of a spoon

Thing is, I'm not exactly being super fussy. I'm open minded, easy going, and looking for someone I'm attracted to. I don't have a set 'type'. I just want that spark.

The other thing I've found most common, is when trying to engage conversation, I'm asking questions and trying to be open to get to know them. But when all I get back is responses to my questions, and it's all one way. COME ON, WORK WITH ME HERE FFS.

However, I did have one girl ask me how open minded I am. And whether I would be comfortable with my gf peeing in front of me in the shower.... That was about 6-7 messages in Then a few more later, she asked my opinion on fisting. Hilarious.

It's been a real eye opener.

I laughed out loud at the parking spaces comment!

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to join it!

I just feel like I can relate to a lot of it, in terms of what to look out for/avoid/be aware of etc.

I'd miss boobs too much

Nothing has changed much in the past ~200k years of evolution. Women are less bothered than men by looks (within reason) and almost always prioritise height (safety), fame (status) and wealth (security) for a male mate.

Yep. Skint shortarses aren't going to be top of anybody's wishlist I'm afraid.

[Superflow]

A lot of younger women and men are pretty humourless i find, and generally lack character.In the internet age of box ticking and self promotion it must be difficult for the genuine person to find someone,without becoming an orange steroid eating plastic action man type.Good luck with it all.

OP - my sister in law is single?

She's 29, blonde, works in Central London earning a good wedge, enjoys travelling, is pretty straighforward in saying what she likes/doesn't like so you aren't left having to guess, and looks good in a bikini.

I married her sister, which I guess puts her off limits to me though.

I've been single for a good 18 months. I tried some dating in that time. A friend of a friend I met by chance. Some POF, Some Tinder. But a sizeable percentage of the girls I met in my age range 28-36 seem to have an air of expectation and a level of narcissism I'm not sure was prevalent 10 or so years ago. They bring nothing to the party bar their genitals and their looks, which like all of us will fade in time. They have no savings, no career, everything they own is on tick, no hobbies etc. But have a huge long list of "criteria" that a man should hit to even be in with a chance of sleeping with or having a relationship with them. The whole "I'm not settling for anything less than perfection"

I would have thought that when girls get to their 30s their body clock kicks in and they start panicking they'll never have kids so get less picky? Apparently the birth rate in the western world is declining over the last few decades. Is this related?

Many (but not all!) of the best ones get snapped up early, they don't wait till 30's to hear their body clock but more 25 ish.

So you now have slim pickings, but hang in there as good ones will be found.

Alternatively expand your search to slightly younger women rather than starting at 28?

... so why is she single?

I bet she seems reasonable to Shoemaker but get her alone and she probably turns into a loon.
