Single women over 30

[Lady Whistledown]

I've had tonnes more fun in my thirties (so far) than I did in my twenties. Personally, I think the older you get the more emotionally secure you are and the more you know what you want in life...and other areas

And whoever thought I was a bloke: how many men do you know called Edna??

Thanks for the responses, interestingly enough some of the posts suggested my mate might be a little bit mental himself, I don't doubt he is, unfortunately living the life of a bachelor takes it toll - I couldn't put up with living with him.

We did have a laugh thinking about if us married lot split up, I for one think I would remain permanently single - although mid 30's I'm so stuck in my ways, god help any other woman other than my wife who would put up with me or any of my mates.

As for the people on the thread claiming that any mentalism is offset by improved performance in the sack, I'm sure they wouldn't be single if they are a good as you claim they are - ha ha.

Wait til you have to deal with women in their 40's! Many of them have issues and come with some kind of baggage, and worse - menopause!

I know single men in there mid forties some closing in on 50 and never married.

Do you think they are bunny boilers?

I fall into that category and have never boiled a bunny in my life...I am too arthritic to catch the bugger for starters!

Generalisation alert!!! coming up ..... but an observation ...

I know so many mothers who absolutely dote on their sons. The light literally shines out. Unsurprisingly perhaps, no woman will ever measure up to 'mummy' in terms of waiting on you hand and foot and thinking that you are gods gift. Disappointment is inevitable, unless you want to go the gay/Thai bride route.

I guess the same could be said of dads and their "little princesses".

Sometimes mums (and dads) think that they are simply providing 100% love and attention, but I do worry that sometimes they are establishing unrealistic expectations of what a partner can and will provide.

Just a thought.

Are you to rigid to swing to the dark side then Gully

Like Lush said there is always the Gay/thai route, what do you think?

I am sure you have a valid point Lush. One is independent the other isn't. I really should get too involved with this thread as they may post on this site.

Alright as a theory and perhaps it often applies, but there are likely many reasons behind characters and why some marry and some don't.
The times we live in might be distracting or make men have expections, and parents with poor marriages (after all, that's most people's first marital experience) as well as single-mothers and etc etc also influence a person with their relationships. There's also the factor that the person might have their own impressions of marriage or monogamy regardless of parent's influences.

There are too many reasons and effects that might apply, in my opinion.

I didn't know Edna was a woman.

Edna ...... is a woman ? ............. aye carumba.

At the expense of men?

Edna - surely you're not this battleaxe (poor Norm):

Anyone else expect this thread to contain a load of pictures of pretty ladies over 30?

Clearly allowing my prejudice of NSC to impact my judgement! Still good debate amazed it ended on 5 pages...

As a single male in my thirties and never married it makes me laugh what some people are saying. Of all my friends who settled down early, sadly not one of them is still in that relationship, they are either divorced or separated and in many cases have been well and truley screwed over in terms of finances and seeing the kids.

As for this idea of mentalness, well I have found that those who have had long periods of singledom are actually more stable, independent, have travelled and done far more with their life. The ones that I find slightly mental and a worry are those seriel monogomists who HAVE to be in a relationship, the very thought of being single or alone frightens them and so they pretty much date someone or stay in a shite relationship for the sake of not being single. To me, that is far more mental! I have friends who are in relationships with someone they dislike and moan about and have not had sex for a year and a half but are too weak to call it a day cause they do not want to be single. That to me is proper MENTAL logic.

Being tied down with wife, kids, mortgage and no social life in your early twenties or travel the world, shag lots of lovely ladies, go to as much football as you want and have sky sports news on 24hrs - I know which option the sane man would take

Like Wilko i'm approaching my mid 30s, never married no kids and I've done 100x more things in my life than those around me who married and had kids. I've known far too many mates who've seperated/divorced whatever and I think to myself occasionally how lucky I am to have the life I lead, not tied down the mortgage payments/child benefit payments and all that aggro. Sure I dont think its perfect but then what in life is? i'm happy with my job and the way things are going, all my Lady friends say I'm a GREAT catch for a girl one day but they've been saying that for years....so I just cruise through life and if it happens it happens. Only regret i've got, through no fault of my own, is that I've not had kids myself yet, but I would'nt change the past for anything...I take life as it comes!

Totally agree and boy what great times,also its easy to pull birds around 22-25 etc etc,my bird now is 11 years younger.

Most girls around the early to mid 20's prefer a bloke around 30ish because like you say they are far more secure within themselves.

Likewise, but add ten years...I am now at the stage where several of my female friends, all sadly married, have taken it upon themselves to try and fix (fit) me up with a suitable lady...my life is starting to take the form of a Jane Austen novel! As for your regrets Marc, one of my mates who is a couple of years older than me, has two very young children, so it is never too late!

I think the attitude is to be thankful for how life has turned out, what you have seen and done and not worry about the things that haven't happened...you never know what is around the corner!
