Why is it easier for a twenty-something to date than someone in thirties?

Question

I'm thirty-something and single. Why was dating easier when I was younger?

Answer 1

When people are in their twenties.. they tend to be more adventurous have a devil-may-care attitude... and people at this age tend to be more curious and wants to try out new stuff... people date at this age not because they want something lasting but they want to share this very exciting age with someone..
Of course as people get older.. then they also become a lot more mature.. they tend to be more careful coz at this point there's that been-there-done-that attitude so they tend to be more cautious with the relationships they are in.. its harder at this age coz people tend to look for someone to share their lives with and they dont want to waste time with a relationship that wont be there in the long run..

Answer 2

I'd say that collectively the remarks above cover the outside reasons and a few of the inside reasons. I can't help thinking that you may be using the word "dating" but are looking for "relationship." A "date" comes one (day) per package without commitment or accountability beyond the end of it. But "relationship" comes with. If you're waiting for Mr Right and in his 30's. Well, though not as hard as a needle in a hay stack, but how about a small screwdriver?
If dating is really what your looking for then, I'd say widen your age parameters to something like 20 to 60 and include Mr Wrong. Just have fun, laugh a lot, do some nasty stuff.
The harder we look for something the harder it is to find (it seems). So many times I will find a misplaced item soon after I've given up looking for it.
I believe this to be very true and think most females would agree; - "With one of those..... You can get as many of these as you want!" -
-- Isn't that right, girls? --

Hey, if you'd like to start it off with a silly date, you can E-M and we'll discuss packing a small picnic lunch or a large brown paper lunch and head off to an adventure in the closest kiddy playground. ")

People often make over-optimistic assumptions about how uncertainty will resolve - when you're in your twenties what you might achieve or become over the next ten years is anyone's guess. Ten years later, what you've actually achieved or become is there on your record. On the plus side, those you do date will be making a more realistic assessment of you, so are more likely to stay the course.

Answer 4

Because when you are younger you have less bagage, you are more carefree, you are more naive and most ppl in their thirties come from bad break ups and have a few hangups to dealw ith which means they expect much more from a relationship than some are willing to give, people trust less in their thirties because you have so many extra years of heartbreak..

thats what i think anyway ANd most people in their thirties are married or taken so its pretty much majority rejects or like i said earlier peole with alot of personal or emotional baggage!

Good luck tho!
