Dating: Single Female and 30 Something

Women face tough challenges like monthly periods, PMT, and menopause. These issues produce a lot of hormones. This affects not just her but everyone nearby.

Being 30 and single doesn't mean the struggles end. She's racing to find a man, fall in love, and start a family. She dreams of living happily ever after.

Many women plan to settle down in their early 30s. They spend their 20s focusing on careers, travel, and fun. Some have been searching for the perfect partner since they were young. When she turns 30, her life changes. She used to be carefree, but now her biological clock is loud. She's still waiting for the right person to enter her life. For men, this isn't a worry. They can delay fatherhood until later in life. This might explain why 30-something women find it hard to find a partner.

Society views single men and women differently. Women are seen as outdated, while men are encouraged to enjoy their freedom. TV shows like Sex in the City have helped change this view.

But, if she wants children naturally, she needs a man. This adds pressure to find a partner. Her family and friends urge her to start dating. She feels pressure from everyone to find a partner. Her parents and friends want her to settle down. Some even think she might be lesbian.

While well-meaning, she shouldn't feel forced into a relationship. She has high standards for her partner. This makes it hard to find someone who meets her expectations. She might need to accept that no one is perfect. Compromise is key. She should focus on what really matters in a relationship.

It's important not to talk about marriage and babies too soon. Men might see her as desperate. This could scare them off.

So, where will she find her partner? It could be at work, through friends, or online. The possibilities are endless. Not everyone likes all dating methods. A 35-year-old friend of mine is a good example. She wanted to settle down in her 20s but didn't find the right guy. She thinks finding a serious partner in bars or clubs is unlikely.

Most 30-something single men she meets want to flirt and sleep together. But they don't want to commit. Some are already in relationships or looking for casual fun.

She recently met a 27-year-old in a bar. They quickly became intimate. After she told him her age, 35, he said he thought she was 26 or 27. Then he revealed he was 19. She was shocked and knew there was no future. This experience left her disappointed again.

Imagine if their ages were reversed. It could have been a different story. But that's for another time. If you're having trouble finding a partner, try online dating. It lets you see if someone's goals match yours. You can find people of all ages looking for different things.

However, if you want to stay in your age range, consider dating someone about 3-4 years older. Men will date a 30-something-year-old woman if she doesn't come with a lot of emotional baggage and drama.

She must be feminine and not over-demanding with a lot of over-inflated expectations. She must also be willing to check her ego and not give in to everything that society pushes.

This is where a lot of women fall short and find themselves wondering what went wrong. There's nothing wrong with having standards, just don't be so unrealistic.

Remember you may be looking for a Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, etc, and he may be looking for a Megan Good, Taylor Swift, etc. Whatever the attraction is or was. Remember, he chose you, so don't blow it with unrealistic expectations..
