I'm currently 28 and was a late bloomer in the sack (didn't lose my virginity until 23). I feel like I missed out on a lot of experiences with girls growing up. What's worse is that I moved to NYC exactly a year ago from boring, suburban Dallas to experience the wild and crazy life. I found out the hard way that my career prospects were shit, so I enrolled in and graduated from a programming bootcamp this year to kick-start a future for myself.

All of 2016 I was either 1) attending school or 2) looking for a job. I didn't have the time, money, or confidence to go out with girls (except for a very short period of time). I still don't have a full-time programming job in this economy. I'm going to have to enter Monk Mode for the next few months to get my shit together and get back on my feet again.

To those of you in your 30s: does life get better?
