One of the guys I used to work with said that. He said his best year was 42, maybe 45. Admittedly he was a good looking guy, ex rugby play physique, etc, but said he was shagging 6 girls, the youngest 17, the oldest 30. .
When I was 32 many years ago I found myself in a club with some guys from work who were in their mid 20s , one had a girlfriend who was 19, she had a mate who was 18 , we met at the bar while my mate talked to his GF, she was being hassled by some lads and latched onto me to bail her out.We chatted for a bit then sort of ended up in a foursome ( non sexual) within the club just talking.
I wasn't interested in her at all so unintentionally blanked her while I was looking around, not rudely just disinterested until she eventually gave up, it was obvious she wanted to take it further.
20 years on I lok back on it and think, what a t**t she was 18 FFS , that was it, the last chance with a girl you could bounce pound coins off her flat stomach , to this day I have no idea what I was thinking.
I did shag a very dirty 40 year old that night though so not a total disaster
If they ever invent a time machine I'm going to go back and pay the biggest guy in the club £50 to kick me in the bks
Tinder date number 1 last night (actually date number 1 for me .. I've just never had to do them before).
Looked like her pictures and the date lasted 5 and a half hours, in fact it only ended then because we were fearful of missing last tube home. I'm taking that as a first victory..

Ladies love a man who overflows with arrogance
For some reason that reminded me of a conversation I had with a friend at university. He had just bought a really st pair of shoes (you know those ones with velcro that old men wear?) and we were taking the piss out of him.Eventually he got frustrated and tried to justify it with "But they were cheap and girls love a guy with an eye for a bargain!"
They may love that, but they were cheap because they were st, not because they were a good deal
Yes, girls love a guy who wears the same shoes as their grandads.
ETA: Detail of the story that slipped my mind earlier.

Possibly she posted some really really old pics like a work colleague of mine did (from 6yrs previous!).
I doubt either of them were older than 22 or so. It was quite funny how she was fawning over him and complimenting him on his muscles and other things and he was very quickly drinking his coffee and looking disappointed.My neighbours are a bit like that.
Probably 25-28 sort of age.
Him: 6 foot+, looks like a rugby player, pleasant chap, always working or fixing his car or doing something. My Mrs says he's about a 6/10 (with me being an obvious 10).
Her: 5 foot something. 25+ stone. Croydon facelift. Belly that hangs below her vest top. That look, like she's got a chunk of dog st in her nostril and that everyone hates her. You can hear her wheezing around the garden when she takes the dog out. I would rather turn gay and let strangers use me as a toilet than willingly do anything with that.
How the funk they ever ended up together, I'll never know. He looks like he's blocked it from his memory. It must have been traumatic.

L555BAT, there are loads of things single men (and women) can do that their married and child shackled brothers can't. Get out and do these things. And remember, this is the car you are aspiring to

Man the fk up?
Sounds like you need to get happy with yourself before being able to find someone else. You say you go to the gym and dont see results, why not? Either sort out training or change your eating. Do you play sports or are a member of any clubs or societies? That is a far better way of meeting people than t'internet. You have success, and a nice car, so nice clothes are simply a case of finding stuff you like and buying them. Okay, you cant do owt about being tall, and the hair thing is hardly a big issue - either shave it short or leave it long to hide the thin bits if it bothers you.
Go and read all the advice over the last few pages to Matt, take the bits which are relevant to you, and learn.
If its got to the stage whereby your friends cant even talk about you being single without you getting upset then a gf aint going to fix that. You need to sort out you first, and then the woman will follow. Confidence, and being happy, is far more important than what you look like, how much money you have, or what car you drive.
EDIT; if its any consolation, my friends are getting married, moving in together, some are starting to have kids. You get used to being 'the 3rd wheel', but it only matters if it bothers you. There is an American sitcom, and I cant remember for the hell of me what its called, with 2 couples and a single guy, watch that for tips on how to be an awesome 3rd wheel.
The training and eating could do with improvement really. Finding it difficult to leave work on time quite often, so weekdays are hit and miss.Sounds like you need to get happy with yourself before being able to find someone else.

Always been uneasy about joining clubs or societies to meet people (I'm not sporty). Most of my interests are man-interests, so felt a bit underhand to take up other things just to meet girls. Maybe I should drop that.
Nice clothes I already have now, and the hair isn't an immediate problem.

Confidence is the key even a little will work wonders, if a fat, balding and nearly 40 something like me can (until recently) get laid on a regular basis (half of wich with woman your age)
Than so can you.
By the way your friends sound like dicks you may be better off with out them in fact getting rid of them may help with the confidence.
Don't forget that the old fashioned way of getting laid still works wonders.
What did you have on offer for those girls? Just banter and being a "grown man"? Not picking at you btw, just interested.Confidence is the key even a little will work wonders, if a fat, balding and nearly 40 something like me can (until recently) get laid on a regular basis (half of wich with woman your age)

as above L55, you are just making up excuses. I'm 40 and Tinder worked very well for me...and now long term GF is 25.
Change mates would be a good start - "loosing banter"??? are you all 9 years old?
What out of 10 are your looks like would you say? I'm not even getting matches.Change mates would be a good start - "loosing banter"??? are you all 9 years old?

In other news, since my post on Sunday I've sent some messages on POF making cheeky comments or questions rather the "hi, how are you, so do you blah blah" style. Some just plain rude really. Including to girls from few months ago that ignored me, who replied this time. Now I have conversations going with 1) 24 year old redhead teacher with great tits, 2) 27 year old slightly chubby girl that shares some interests and has great wit - also with great tits, and 3,4) two 19 year olds that seem to have grown up rather quickly. It's a start...

Mate, it's a fking great start. Well done. Now follow-up, get beyond conversations, and get in there.

Im not suggesting you join clubs to meet women, Im saying by joining clubs you'll be able to meet women by having a larger circle of friends. Even if you hobbies are 'man hobbies' then never underestimate how many people you'll meet of the opposite sex. All the people at the rugby club are men, but they all have female friends you meet on a night out or in the pub. Always been uneasy about joining clubs or societies to meet people (I'm not sporty).

And the last bit sounds great, teachers are always filthy, so fill your boots there.
