Here's a topic for all who are In their mid 20s, you notice how it's far more difficult to find dates than it was as a teen or young adult(early 20s) no matter how good you are with the opposite gender. The ones you do meet are already taken, have their own families or not my type. Being in a male dominant job, all my friends either married or settled so it's hard to have friends set me up like I used to, it's kind of creepy to approach some stranger even with good game so that's out, dating sites are not much different despite it being designed to meet new people. The ones who are single are not 100% single as in they have another lined up they known for long time. It seems you need to establish yourself in high school or college or early adulthood. The true singles are well hidden

Yep, that sounds about right. Don't give up though, just accept the limitations and challenges, and adjust yourself to them as best you can.

I don't think it is.

I think as people get older they simply specialize and focus more on what they do.

I think there is a greater sense of frustration and time passing due to failure when you choose to do something solely for the potential of finding a date vs. doing something that may also happen to potentially lead to meeting people you can date.

Like working on a car.
If your entire saturday is solely focused on fixing your brakes and you fail to finish there is a greater sense of lost time and frustration then if you just spent your saturday drinking and hanging out with your friends as you tried to fix your brakes together.

Same amount of time was spent, but the focus, determination, sense of purpose, and perception of investment is different.

As you get older you start approaching dating like a chore, with specific parameters that MUST be fulfilled otherwise it feels like failure rather than an offset of entertainment, of going out, having fun, releasing stress, meeting nice people, and if it doesn't work oh well, there's always next week.


Other than that, the rest of the OP just reads like sour grapes because there is no Best Boobybuy where one can easily purchase a hermetically sealed perfect match doll.
