Q4men: did dating get easier as you got older?

If you can't get laid right now age alone isn't going to change anything.

Yes, but mostly because women my age and women who were substantially younger than me were both attractive to me at that point, and some of those younger women were also attracted to me. When I was younger I was only attracted to women my age. I've never been that interested in older women.

In my prime, "dating" consisted of touring the country in a van with my band, banging young girls the day I met them, and having FWB to crash with when I got home. It was much easier than trying to actually go on dates, have relationships, casual sex etc once I got out of that lifestyle.

So no, dating has not gotten easier, but I guess I wasn't exactly "dating" when I was younger.

Yes and no.

Women respond to me better because my personality is better and I am more established in my career and finances.

but the market for single women has dried up, so I have far fewer single women to pick from and I do not have the social network to meet new single women. And the rise of internet dating has totally thrown a wrench in the concept of leagues and expectations for a lot of people, which has also fucked things up for me. Also the older you get, the higher % of people on the market are there for a reason.

So yes and no.

Getting sex is way easier. Finding quality LTR material a lot less common.

despisedlove2 · 2017-04-15T10:16:38+00:00

I don't date out of choice.

But if I did, I would say yes, purely on the basis of mercenary female attention I now get.

Apexk9 · 2017-04-15T02:21:15+00:00

No.

The old women are too damaged to be long term and the young girls are to blah.

It'd easier to fuck but harder to find quality

[deleted] · 2017-04-15T04:16:41+00:00

Yes. Past 30 and dating has become easier for me than it was in my late 20's.

[deleted] · 2017-04-15T04:48:00+00:00

It got easier by far. I look better now and am much more composed than I was, on top of this the women are starting to get a bit desperate. Plus I have money now. I've doubled my n count in a few years.

On the other hand, I'm not as horny as I was in my 20s. I can't fuck 5 times a night like I used to. And the quality of women varies (but I've never been that picky). At the peak of summer last year I slept over at a ropey 45 year Olds house, had a shower and went to the pub and wound up taking 2 hot 24 year Olds off for a mess around . I also did 4 women on 4 nights in a row not long after that. So it's much easier

ShitArchonXPR · 2017-04-15T09:03:28+00:00

I'd say it did, yes.

I was much better looking at age 22, but at about age 32-35, women showed more interest in me.

Probably because of many different factors. More confidence and experience, less neoteny, women wanting to settle down and so on.

Now at age 36, it is becoming a bit more difficult. It's not as easy to meet people anymore and younger people who don't know me yet see me as the old guy. It didn't look weird when I was hanging out with an early 20s crowd before, now it does.

But there is definitely some truth to red pill's claim that it gets easier if you have been putting effort in.

Online dating works well for me.

[deleted] · 2017-04-15T09:23:44+00:00

I can sorta answer. I was in a relationship from 30-36 and took some time off after.

If I make an effort? Yes I can usually get multiple dates in a short time. I would say it's about the same as when I was 25

rreliable · 2017-04-15T12:26:35+00:00

Yup. It wasn't particularly hard when young, but much easier once I matured.

[deleted] · 2017-04-15T12:32:14+00:00

I'm only in my early 20's but yeah it's definitely easier now than it was in my late teens. But this isn't just an automatic thing it's because I made a concious effort to better myself.

Transmigratory · 2017-04-15T13:28:26+00:00

Easier. You'll find that no matter your advantages etc, women gravitate to those who have some of those things plus money. Older generally means you got more money and you'll have the status that comes with it... bonus if the career behind your money has bragworthy status.

[deleted] · 2017-04-15T15:11:29+00:00

Yes. Maturity and experience combined with a youthful physique was the key for me.

dj10show · 2017-04-15T17:58:59+00:00

Yes, but the girls have more and more baggage.

eliechallita · 2017-04-15T19:36:30+00:00

It got easier, not purely because of age, but because I was finally able to leave the place where I grew up and start a good career in a city that I love living in.

You're just much more attractive when you feel good about yourself and your life.

test822 · 2017-04-18T15:27:17+00:00

yes. I could probably tear through all the depressed single moms on my facebook like a tornado, but I wouldn't because that'd be scummy.
