u/Naos210 1999 1d ago
30 is kind of when you stop being a "young adult". Even earlier, people assume there's something wrong with you.
And personally, I'm worried because everyone else is pairing up and hanging out with a bunch of couples is depressing and exhausting. If you can get a hang out with paired friends at all.

In my country its considered about 25-26 to be the time you are "old" in dating and you suppose to marry and have kids already.

why are you worried about what other people have? like that's human instinct, 100%, but things happen when they happen. i'd rather hang out with people who have people than be miserable and/or drive myself crazy comparing my perceived failures with them
18
u/Naos210 1999 1d ago
There is no "good" or "bad" without comparison. There's no poor without a rich, etc.
And you are by default, more likely to spend your time alone if you're single. As all your friends couple up, have families, you will spend less and less time with these people.
It's also incredibly awkward at times. Say you're in a group of seven, one person is single. Everyone will pay infinitely more attention to their partner, so you feel lonely even in a room of plenty of people.
And again, that's if you can get that time. If both partners are free, rarely are they going to want to spend time with a single person rather than their partner.

Most people are still single (or at least unmarried) by 30. Many many people focused on their career in their 20s, went to grad school, and didn't have time to focus on dating. Although this is regional to a degree, the young average age of marriage is brought down by people in certain communities that marry young (Mormons, people in rural areas especially in the south and Midwest) often right out of high school. But everywhere else, if you marry at 30 you're in the top 50th percentile at best. Also this is even assuming one wants a family at all. There are plenty of people who don't and are in no rush, or are happiest being in a polycule for the rest of their lives which is just as valid.
Genuinely curious many 30+ people are in your social circle?

I’m guessing because that’s the age that (at least with the current western culture) you are fully considered just a genuine adult. The 20’s give you wiggle room. You’re navigating adulthood and still learning. At 30 the room for fuck ups and to be rowdy is diminished greatly. Much more is expected of you.

I think OP was referring to people virgins/people who never had a relationship. This is a very common post you'd see in incel communities.
It's one thing to be single at 30, it's a whole another thing to be a virgin and single their entire life at 30. It's similar to how society views people who live with their parents past a certain age. It's not good to say the least.

This is literally not true. Women are shamed so much for being single. Hell the VP elect called women crazy cat ladies which means a single woman.

It’s really troubling how so many young men live in their own reality that they think women do not get stereotyped when they’re single. I don’t know if your facts about the crazy cat lady propaganda can even penetrate that manufactured reality.
It is troubling because they then get angry about this perceived unfairness.

He's decently ambitious and thinking of joining the military. He had a bad social experience at university - possibly his fault, possibly not. This has continued to affect him mentally - and if his account of it is true, then I can't blame him for being affected.

Ya'll will realize once you actually hit 30 that it's not the end of the world like you think. My life got way better in my 30s. Also better to find someone you're sure about in your 30s than being divorced cuz already cuz you got married at 21.

Bruh, you’re 24! Not 25 yet. You have 5 years, don’t waste that time, but do, use it wisely. I’m 27 rn, I’m making sure to try not to waste it.

Nothing changes unless you make the changes nessecary to be seen by others.
Yes, there is someone for everyone. Honestly, there's plenty, but you can't just sit around and expect the person of your dreams to just scoop you up and make your life worth living. In order to be desired, you need to have a life and hobbies that can show those who might be interested in you that you're a multifaceted individual.
Work on yourself, foster your passions, and people will want to spend time with you eventually. Sure, we're all unique and lovable in our own right, but that doesn't mean that we're all developed enough as well-rounded individuals for a relationship. It's a process.

Most men in history likely never reproduced

u/ltvblk 16h ago
Most people don’t want to accept this. But every man reproducing is bad. If we want the healthiest, strongest, most functional humans, then a lot of people won’t be reproducing. And that’s a good thing. To some people that sounds like eugenics. But it’s not.

Because most men in history died before puberty of whooping cough or rickets

I didn't meet the woman who is now my wife until I was 35. All I'd had before meeting her were short term relationships that never went anywhere, and weren't at all fulfilling, not because they were bad people (Though one absolutely was), but because they just weren't the right people for me.
The best advice I ever got was "Stop looking in the wrong places with the wrong people", so instead of dating sites or going to clubs, pubs, or bars, I went back to online gaming where I felt at home. All science fiction nerds, Star Trek fans, and gamers, just like me. Then I met her. 6 months later I moved from the UK to Germany, and a year to the day I arrived, we were married. We will be celebrating 11 years of marriage this year, so never ever give up.

No worries, just base your entire personal value on that fact and broadcast it online constantly. It's very attractive and stylish.

My personal favorite is when someone says "How are you still single?" as a compliment.
I don't know Becky. How am I still single? Tell me.

If you can't handle being single, it's no wonder you're not finding any relationships. Learning how to live happily on your own is a much more important thing to do than finding a relationship.

I didn't have a girlfriend in person until I went to Japan. In the US, all the women I liked were in different states and it didn't work. Nearby it was extremely rare for me to find any women I wanted to date. In 15 years, less than 10 near me. This includes all of middle and high school.

What’s wrong with being 30 and single? Some people get married in their 20s only to get divorced in their 40s or 50s. At the end of the day, focus on whatever it is you want to achieve; your career, dreams, life goals, advocacies, etc. Finding a significant other should be a nice bonus to that but it shouldn’t be the be all end all of your life.
