Where are they? I know there was a post on Onely and QuirkyAlone in a similar vein lately.
Is it a freakish demographic thing that there are so many more single women in their thirties than there are men (i.e. are there more men than women?) or are the guys just hiding somewhere?
Sometimes I think that maybe there’s a pocket of really nice single thirty-something blokes, I just don’t know where they are. So gentlemen, if you’re out there, say hi sometime 🙂
single and thirty-something 
Good question! I’ve been making an effort lately to “notice” men I find attractive, so far every one has had a wedding ring! What’s the deal, I thought men were supposed to resist marriage? I think it’s the opposite.
Hi Lauri – thanks for your comments (on the other post too). What’s that old joke?: Why are men like parking bays? The good ones are taken and the ones that are left over are handicapped. Or too small, or hazardous. I have a bad track record of crunching my side mirrors on cement posts in parking garages… I hope that doesn’t translate into my love life!
HAHA I had not heard the parking bays-men metaphor. They should put THAT one on standardized tests. Although of course, if someone made a joke like that about single *women*, I would be horrified. So I am a hypocrite! Ok doke!
My sister had a theory that in our 20s, women are all hyped to get married, but then in our 30s, that sort of switches around and men decide they are all about commitment, while women are thinking, “Hmmmm not so fast. . .” It’s a theory.

ok I needed to come back here and check in on this topic. Every since I read this I have noticed an unbelievable phenomenon. I was looking through my inbox on my online dating, and at the people who have viewed my profile, and almost all of them are under 30 or over 40. In fact, most of them are a lot under 30. I get a ton of 26 year-olds for some reason. And recently, 22 year-olds have been vying for my online attention. The few guys in their late 20s or early 30 who have noticed me are…well let’s just say, less than desirable. I think this is the deal: desirable men suddenly, around ages 28-32, are told by their mothers that good boys get married. So they all rush out and pop a ring on whatever finger they happen to have close by at the time. BUT ten years later, they realize, “holy crap, THAT was a mistake. I missed out on dating all those hot 30-something women” and then they go BACK and try to make up for it, which may be why these older guys never seem to want to date women their own age.
Ladies, I have the answer… older men!
Not like, your father’s age older, but 40 to 45ish … they know what they want, have money and independence, and know what they’re doing in bed! (at least, in theory)
Since entering my 30s, I’m taking a serious second look at slightly older guys.
Erm, I’m a single man, thirty one, nearly thirty two, sane, not fat, not ugly, independent, employed, own home/hair/teeth/transport, no kids…
I’m finding it’s the attractive, sane, interesting single women who’re attached (I suppose I’m eliminating most women I meet because I’m looking for a woman who’s all of the above but whom also has no kids nor interest in having them)!
