Yes, Yes! Absolutely! Ask anyone, man or woman in their 70's, married, single, whatever, if they would want to be thirty again? I bet they would! (No, I'm not, LOL, but I know older neighbours.) Look at all the bitter lonely married people with no privacy or choice? Why on earth would age be a factor?
I know three couples who remarried in their forties and are over the moon that they didn't settle to be part of a couple when they knew it wouldn't last. I know lots of married people who can't stand being alone, who tolerate awful people who distract them and are not at all their best friend. People whose partner has alienated their friends, and demands all of their time and space.
Truly happy? I do think you have to get the balance right to meet the right person and share what you value together. That can happen any time in life, it can, really. Why make do with some relationship less than mutual?
OK, if everything else is wrong, if you are held back because you don't live where you want to live, have false or few good friends, or hate your job, or really want children and none of it is working for you - what has that to do with a relationship?
OK, when you're twenty, it is brilliant to go into work and have a crush on someone, you ignore the bad aspects and it cheers you up. But when you are thirty, you can't overlook everything else, distract yourself with an outside relationship that doesn't satisfy you. Isn't it a chance to do what you enjoy and be seen to relish life? And so get to know people who are also like you, and who might be single? A chance to sort out what you enjoy, without pretending because your friends/parents/partner has fun with that? Enthusiasm is catching - I believe your thirties is a great time to become yourself as a happy, curious, interested person in your own right, and if you're single, you only have to consider who you really care about when booking holidays!

Yes. You don't need a relationship to be happy! You need inner strength and a sense of personal happiness. Be true to yourself, the last thing a woman in her thirties wants is to find happiness externally and get a man thats "needy" to drag her down! You make you happy, the rest will follow on if thats what you want.......

Of course they can. Millions of them are. What do they need serious relationships for? There are more important things to do when you're in your 30's.

Of course. It means you're whole. If you need someone in your life to feel whole, then you are not whole yourself. That's very important.

No way. Well, some can, but not co-dependants, so you are screwed.(or not...)
I'd suggest settling for a nice, ugly guy, since it is probably the best you can do. By the way, you will still be unhappy, because you are probably just depressed by your sad little life.
