I was talking with my single friend yesterday. Just for reference, I'm 32, and he's 36.
He said, "Dude... I have to run something by you. I'm 36, I've already been married and divorced... and I feel like, if I don't settle down again soon, it'll never happen."
"Why not?"
"Well, the older I get, the less motivated I am to chase tail. If I take a girl home to have sex, between the date and the likely LMR, I won't end up getting to sleep until one or two in the morning. It pretty much guarantees my next day will be lackluster." (he's in the PUA community, so he actually said "LMR")
I was thinking about what he said, and I think I feel the same way.
Don't get me wrong -- there are positives to being older. I'm mostly impervious to female bullshit at this point. If a girl tries to manipulate me, or use her sexuality as a weapon, I can recognize it and shut it down about 95% of the time.
On the flipside, it's easier and easier to just... not pursue chicks. My standards have gotten higher and higher, while my sex drive slowly but steadily decreases. I've actually turned down easy lays from 5's and 6's recently.
Any other early 30's single guys experiencing this?
