The way I see things like that, if she's so awesome and great how come she ain't been locked down already?
Tread carefully. In the beginning these females wear a series of masks and hide how they really are until they get super comfortable (securing the ring or a baby) or just get tired of acting. You also have to keep a keen eye. Pay close attention to those little slips in character. Don't just brush them off as a harmless outlier. Chances are they will be greatly augmented once she has you.
I'm not just being negative or cynical. These older experiencee women know the game. If I were you I would give it a solid two or three years living under the same roof. If you not living with a female you really don't know how she is. I've learned that the hard way
Y’all do know relationships end right? How is a woman supposed to “get locked down” if every guy is looking at her like “hmmm she’s great why hasn’t someone wifed her”. I never understood that logic is a woman supposed to stay single if a relationship ends after 30? You say you aren’t being negative or cynical but you’re literally making a woman a bad person because she’s single and 34.![]()
She could've been the one to break it off if the nikka cheated or even say it had been hella years in the relationship and breh didn't want to propose. Point is it's a lot of possibilities. You just gotta keep your third eye open and move with caution like you should even if she had all the same traits but was 24.
just cause a chick 34 don't automatically mean something wrong with her
Sounds like my cautionary statements hit a little close to home for you.
I'm not saying all single middle-aged ish women are damaged goods or anything like that, I'm just saying dudes need to be wary. Many of the catches out here are usually caught early on.
I'm not speaking in absolutes. I'm just saying it's possible.You clearly don’t know me. I’m still married and I’m not 34. The point of a discussion forum is to have a discussion, not everything is personal.
Anyways, you keep saying that “if she was a catch she would have been caught early” do you believe that relationships can’t end? She could have been in a relationship and for some reason the relationship ended does that automatically make her damaged goods?
I'm not speaking in absolutes. I'm just saying it's possible.
If something hasn't worked out and stuck in 15 to 20 years of being in the dating market, I'm going to scratch my head and wonder why.
Maybe she’s someone’s “the one that got away” either way hes 36 year old man I’m sure he knows how to pick who is and isn’t quality but a woman being single doesn’t automatically make her a shytty person. I hope you aren’t just disqualifying women for being single because a lot of women stay in toxic sometimes deadly situations because they’re afraid of people judging them just like you are.
There's nothing wrong with women in their 30s. There are advantages and drawbacks no matter what.
Women in their 20s experience quarter-life crises as they realize they're heading into their 30s without having done the shyt they're 'supposed' to do before then so they'll dump a dude to live a series of hot girl summers.
Women in their 30s might be bitter because they didn't get the kind of commitment they felt they should've had in their 20s, or they did what the former group did and left a good dude to live out their youthful fantasies and now it's too late. He found himself a new woman he's happy with or he's single and doesn't want her back.
Everyone is looking for assurances. 'If I date a younger woman she'll treat me right! If I date a foreign woman she won't finesse me! If I date an older woman she's more mature and knows what she wants!' Aint no guarantees in anything in life except death, and dudes look childish trying to protect themselves from heart break by building their dating preferences on assumptions around age, ethnicity, etc.
