I feel this 10000% as a lady on the opposite end of her 30s! I know the success stories do happen, but in the meantime it's a jungle out there. I tend to find men my own age not a good fit (either because of their interests, approach to women, or the unresolved baggage from past relationships) so try to go a little younger these days. I used to go older but have found that guys 45 and upward consider the apps an untapped reserve of fanny and just lose their minds with the availability and variety of itAnyone wanna twll me a positive story about how they found love at over 30? I turned 33 in April and my sisters in christ it is all getting so horrible out there.
The dating apps are shite, the conversations are boring as hell, and the men are either overconfident assholes who may or may not be cheating on their partners who just want a quick shag, or jobless ambitionless scrubs.
I've done the whole Female Dating Strategy thing of "leveling up" but all ot has done is made me see that 95% of men are just not worth dating.
Add to that I'm rather stumbling from crisis to crisis at the moment in my personal development and it feels like a relationship or love are further away than ever before.
Is it a thing now for guys to change their WhatsApp pic to one of them and their gf when they get one? Male friends I know from other sources never do it, but I'm noticing that previous tinder/dating matches do. I'm wondering if it's a thing to signal to other women 'delete my number'
