Dating is scary in this day and age ...and your right most are just looking for a quick hookup and too be with an assortment of people.

yes your def right about that my area seems like the woman are worst then the guys but cant lose faith

I beg to differ. Most women want a committed relationship, and when men are asked, most say the exact same thing.

I think there is a difference in what one wants depending on age. Certain stages of life people are more looking for fun, for instance soon after a divorce or when still quite young. I think for men <30-35 many aren't ready for a commitment yet. They're focused on career building etc.

Men in their 40 often are still in a relationship, likely cos they enter one a tad later, the ones who are divorced typically are looking for arm candy, sex, fun. Not commitment. Likely cos they recently got out one.
Men in their 50 you see a different thing again. They do want a committed relationship, often with a woman their age as well.

Women, I know many want a committed relationship in their 20s. Same with women in their 40s. Usually they're a little younger when the divorce happens, logical as we mostly are with men who are a few years older than us.
It's effing difficult for a single woman in her 40s to find a man her own age who wants to commit, reasons explained above.

And I think education levels may play a role in this. Not talking diplomas per say, more the level.
I think higher educated ppl go for commitment in their mid 30s cos they are career focused, and with that likely fun outside of work.

Yes I’ve noticed there seems to be a larger amount of women that are playing the field versus the guys nowadays so it definitely makes things hard if your a guy looking for something serious

Dunno. But playing around with someone's feelings always gives that person a bad reputation. As if honesty was such a difficult thing

It happens sometimes intentional and unintentionally I try to just remember that everyone I meet is going through something or has gone through something...we are all scarred larsi some of us more than others...the right person will come along when the time is right

im just waiting for around the world 37 to sweep me off my feet

I'm also not sure about this statement.
This might hinge on your age group, your peers and where you hang out as that defines what you see.
Reason I'm saying this is that I don't know any single woman who is like that. Sure, they go out and have fun because they cannot find the right guy. But they all want a committed relationship.
I know some younger women in their twenties go out and play the field, but they too want a committed relationship and are only going out with their gal-pals, having fun, cos they haven't found Mr Right yet.

I think 'playing the field' also hinges on background. The way I've been raised, I don't. And no, I'm not a prude, nor religious. It's just not me, doesn't interest me either. I go out, yes. I like to have fun, yes. Do not sleep around though, nor play with dudes for the heck of it.

I do know that some younger women who tend to go out a lot and drink a lot can go overboard. Likely cos of the dynamic of the group, women can get quite carried away, and the amount of alcohol involved.

I have noticed that many men who contacted me were just looking for friends with benefits and not a relationship. Some said they were looking for a relationship but the first few I dated were liars and that isn’t what they wanted.

It’s hard to sift through so many liars to find someone who actually wants the same thing as you do.

I don’t know about women and dating but men will say anything to get you into bed.

It’s a long tedious job to find someone honest and compatible! I almost gave up because the process is so disheartening.

Good luck
