    A lot of women use the phrase “all the good ones are taken” but the reverse can also be true as well. Where all the good women are also taken. So most dating apps are full of the people who can’t keep a relationship, cheat, aren’t investing into something, or are the “leftovers.” I have a ton of female friend and what I saw on the dating apps when we were 25 was horrendous. As you get into your late 20s and early 30s you start seeing a lot of divorcees and single parents who then don’t have time and therefore don’t invest. Or do “invest” but now aren’t worth it because their kids should be more important.

      America is a different universe lmao. Most people aren’t even married once in their late 20s in Denmark.

        Yeah, when some friends started getting married in our 30s I thought they were being impulsive. We’re a bit young to be getting married aren’t we?

        Statistically neither are people in the US. However most by that age have been in long term relationships.

      I’m in my 30s and all the single women I know in my range are somewhere near the asexual end of the spectrum or have kids. There’s nothing wrong with those things but those they would not work for me in a romantic relationship.
