is it harder to get a girlfriend at 30+?

There's only one teacup I see in my eyes little boy, and i'll be sipping that one. http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/e6/df/24/e6df24ab94fb8a282eea97f4d5986890.jpg

I honestly think that dating when you're 30 (or even north of) gets easier for both sexes, only because your life experiences have already laid the groundwork for you as to what and who you want in life (and if you even want or don't want anyone in your life). The awkwardness of getting-to-know-yous no longer matter too much here because everyone is pressed for time already (they have careers and hobbies waiting for them after all) and mind games are off the table. I'm not even 30 yet, but as of now, I can already personally say that if someone doesn't fit into my morals, values, and life plans and goals, I would have no problem cutting ties with him -- and I wouldn't care much. That's another upside to being older and dating when you're older: you give fewer/no fucks (note that "not giving fucks" is different from having no care or empathy for others). Imagine being like that and dating someone like that -- you'd be the ultimate power couple! :D Dating will be easier, but I think the challenge will be in meeting people that you will want to date. My first boyfriend of six years (I was a college freshman and he was close to 30 when we started dating) was in the academe, so there are plenty of opportunities to meet new people there -- graduate students, co-faculty, etc. My most recent boyfriend of three years was in the same field and work as I am (I was 24 and he was over 30 when we started dating), so the "meeting for the first time" dilemma was already solved for us. Meeting new people will be easier if a) you work, study, or have interests that will make you interact and socialize with more people, and b) you are doing something that another person might find interesting, so there is already a common ground for you two. @siruba I'm not sure if you're mostly looking for opinions on this from men who are 30+, but I tried to answer you from a woman's point of view. I wish you good luck on your quest for love! Also, I just had to say -- big fan of your comments on threads! Makes me laugh out loud and think of goats! >_<
