Is there any "key" to dating in one's early 30s?
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Amen!Die Hard said:The key to dating in your early thirties, is to FORGET that you're in your early thirties. YOU are YOU and YOU do whatever the fvck YOU wanna do, not what society dictates you to do according to your age group or some other bullsh!t like that.
I recently became 31 years old but I feel no different than when I was like, 24...so I don't ACT any different than I did back then either. I was at a bar two days ago and some chick started hitting on me, she was 33 years old... Later on, some other chick started hitting on me and that one turned out to be 16.
My point is: I was being ME all night long, whether with the 33 year old or the 16 year old and they both felt attracted to me just the same. What the fvck do I care how old I am? I AM not my age, I AM me... I do not ACT like my age, I ACT like myself. And that's exactly what bytches (whether they're 15 or 50) like, that you're confident in who you are, that you are your OWN man, instead of a fukking sheep who walks in line and says "beeeeh" like he's supposed to.
So stop wondering how you SHOULD act and start acting however the fukk you WANT to act. Don't ask yourself what others expect from you, but ask yourself what you expect from them. You are the PRIZE and all bytches of all ages need to prove their worth to you. What is the key to dating in your early thirties? FUKKING IRRELEVANT!! You shouldn't even think about stuff like that. ALL bytches from ALL ages should be worrying about what is the key to dating YOU. You lead, they follow...whether it's a teenage girl, a mature woman or society in general.
What is it that you want out of dating in your 30s?ilikecharlene said:Is there any "key" to dating in one's early 30s?
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
just something long term. i'm looking for somebody older, closer to 40.vatoloco said:What is it that you want out of dating in your 30s?
I agree, but I don't really want children ever. Since women these days are more comfortable in saying they don't like/want kids, i guess this is win for me lol..Desdinova said:A key to dating women in their early 30s is: watch out for the ticking biological clock.
Other than that, age is just a number.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
So true. I stopped dating 30-somethings a while back.Nutz said:I'm done dating women in their 30s. They're no better than women in their late teens and 20s, but have loads of baggage, tend to be jaded/cynical, and don't look as hot. As for maturity and trust and honor and loyalty and all that jazz, older women are no different from the younger ones. The biggest difference is that older women are more forgiving of beta males and aren't as selective so they're easier to pull, aka low-hanging fruit. My advice is try not to get taken in by their being easier to bang.
In that case, concentrate your efforts on the hot/kept 40+ ladies out there. They WILL have baggage but if you can land yourself a 7+ with minimal baggage, no kids and who has kept herself in shape, you're good.ilikecharlene said:I agree, but I don't really want children ever.

A lot of those 40+ women who got it going on like that tend to be cougars. just an observation on my part.vatoloco said:In that case, concentrate your efforts on the hot/kept 40+ ladies out there.

In this case, I WOULD recommend online dating. I just looked at my online market and there are tons of 40+ good-looking women in decent shape.
Now, whether they have issues, that's another story!![]()
That's why you'd spin lots of them to separate the wheat from the chaff!Blackmm said:A lot of those 40+ women who got it going on like that tend to be cougars. just an observation on my part.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
I know a guy that's doing sugar daddy sites and is cleaning house. He reframes it from being a sugar daddy and them a prostitute to just being attracted to younger women and looking for women who are interested in older men as to why he uses those sites because they cater to what he likes. It helps he's loaded. He'll either pay for their gas to drive to his place, or he flies women into town for the weekend. They typically go out Friday night, head back to his place where she's staying, then he bangs them out all weekend and sends them back to wherever they came from. He's also had a few of them shoot porn for him which I guess he later sells to internet sites. Dude is a freaking evil genius! :rockon:Dust 2 Dust said:The biggest key is to be in shape. Most guys are out of shape with beer bellies once they hit their mid 30's. You'll have an instant advantage over your competition by hitting the gym and eating a proper diet. An in shape, childless, unmarried male with no baggage is going to be a hot commodity with the 30+ ladies.
I also recommend online dating. I'm not talking about trashy sites like POF, but sites that cater to older crowds like eHarmony or match.
