Dating 20s vs 30s: A lady's perspective


After collecting info for this series of blogs, I realized that my respondents were somewhat monolithic. Most are college grads with professional careers, so keep that in mind when reading. 

I posted a 30 something Guy's response to this topic, and thought this lady's response was also deserving of a separate blog.

Keep reading for a lady's perspective on dating after her 20s.


How is dating different for you now vs in your twenties?


1. Looking for Boaz, not whomever.
2. Guys have gotten smarter and are more honest.
3. More obstacles.... Ex wives, kids, careers, mortgages. 
4. More options - now that I'm 30 something, late 30s and 40s don't sound so old.
I'm having a much better time in my 30s😎😍💅🏾


Also, right around 2/3 years out of undergrad, there's a wave of marriages. 
If you make it to 30 and you're still dating, you'll see half of those marriages are still intact and half of them are not, which relieves the pressure of getting married. You see folks miserable with kids, exes, and baby mommas! OH MY!😳 And you realize you didn't miss out on anything, so there's less pressure to find the one.

And you might luck up and get a guy who's been married and has no kids. Those are the best. They know what they're looking for. Yes, the "first husbands club" bullsh** little to none. And they already know to put the toilet seat down.

It's like the benefits of adopting a dog instead of getting it from the breeder. Sure it isn't shiny and new with an AKC certification, but it also won't sh** on the floor. And will be MORE grateful for good treatment after years of abuse.
Hate to use the dog analogy, but you get the point. 


This lady sees the bright side of dating after 20s, particularly finding a man with a little more tread on his tires and luggage in his life. Not everyone sees 30s dating in such an optimistic light. Those responses will come next.
