I think kraken is saying they are 43? Maybe.
I'm 43 and met my wife at 27. Dating looks so different now. I used to crack up when my college roommate went on J date cause I thought it was lame as hell to find girls online.
If something happened to my wife id probably have to wait awhile before dating again

26 is young for a man, haven't even hit your prime yet, since your life experience & earning power is what's more attractive to women as you age.
Now, if you were female, being 26 and having zero success in dating would be a problem, because many clocks are ticking. But as a man, you can take your time and become a more attractive guy to women over the next five years, by having more success or hobbies or just experience to offer them.

Social norms were different, norms around partners and when you need to work full-time and what is expected of you was different. Its hard to compare.
I recommend that Jordan Petersen authoring thing, it can really make things clear. Every man should take stock, stock of what you have done in the last few months, and what you expect from the next few years. And how to get whatever you want done.

43 aint old enough to complain about age though. You have to hit close to 60 to start bitching about that.

Jordan was an addict, spent in a coma to get relief.

You'll be there in a blink of an eye just like every other milestone after 21.

The authoring thing is still great though.

I know, I am 41, and I barely recall what I have done the last few years.
Its scientifically proven that humans remember less of routine tasks, and as life settles in patterns and the days become similar, time moves faster. Its why our teenage years and youth makes such an impression, with all its firsts and new experiences.
I told myself I wont complain turning 40 but I fucking hate it. I can feel 45 right around the corner already, those 4 years will be a fucking blink.

I use to judge those dudes who married a woman from the Philippines. They'd visit once and come back being a father or engaged. If I had to redo things, that doesn't sound all that crazy. Ykwim?

I was single for 7 years straight from age 25-32, and if you'd asked me during that time, I would've said it's hopeless, dating is a nightmare, it's not worth it, gonna die alone, etc etc.
Cliché as it may sound, if even I can break the cycle, (I'm ugly as shit, autistic af, and got no game at all) there's hope for pretty much anyone.
The reality is, most people are still growing up in their 20s, the 30s are way better.

Maybe that's the problem?
Sorry to rain on your parade, but men/women things did not change much from past centuries.
Men are not supposed to be vulnerable, this turn off girls immediately. Their brain tells them it is fine, their evolutionary instinct (a sulking dude will not kill and get food tonight) tells them not. The instinct always wins. If you have a "childish" hobby it will always be a drawback, the questions is if the girl is willing to tolerate it because of your good points.
This is why average guys with crazy charisma get top chicks. It will always be about that. The very fact you are sulking on a videogame forum, and you have other users drowning in misery with you - c'mon bruh. Hit the damn weights, go join a sports club. People there are focused on self improvement, not your COD lobby wasting their life away.

They had less distractions and were not coddled by their parents telling them "you are special, you matter". The other day a fat fuck dipshit mod on Reddit was posting how old men saying "we will figure things out" in the face of adversity is somehow toxic masculinity.
World tried woke and being sensitive, their experiment failed. The problem is it takes time for men and societies worldwide to adjust without taking cues from beta cuck Zuckerberg.

Always love to hear stories from people who apparently "have their shit sorted out" but still can't find a stable partner. Helps prove that "just be yourself and have you shit together" is a bs formula, and that there's really no surefire way to attract people.
If you have the time and can stand rejection, consider this. As you age, you may develop more traits that may attract women (money, looks, connections, status), but if you don't get some experience in flirting and relationships now that you're still young, you won't magically wake up a pick-up genius at 40. At that point, a lot of the dating pool will be closed to you, and you'll have to be exceptional to get younger women, which is what all men prefer first and foremost. By then, if you don't know how to stand out, it's hopeless.
So if you give more than a damn about relationships, don't give up now and get some experience. You will blow many chances, but at least you'll get to know what you're good at and what you can improve upon, and how.

That's what I found too. There were lots of women who in thier dating profiles (online not apps back in the day) that would say 30 was thier max age limit. But when I got to my 30s there were lots of younger women interested and followed through.
I didn't start serious relationships with them becuse we were at different points in our lives but I had a lots of fun.
