Well, if anon thinks he is too late at 30+ years, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I don’t know if this helps, but I didn’t meet my wife until I was in my forties. You have time.
gmtom@lemmy.world 1 week ago
But I’m guessing she wasn’t your first relationship?
PanoptiDon@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Correct, but the other ones sucked

What d about fifties? Asking for a friend …
Azzu@lemm.ee 1 week ago
Obviously you are completely alone in your fifties being single, everyone else is in happy relationships.
If the sarcasm wasn’t clear, it’s literally never too late.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 week ago
As @Num10ck@lemmy.world said: it’s never too late to be lovely.
As long as you’re alive and capable of communicating, it’s possible.
PrimeMinisterKeyes@lemmy.world 1 week ago
It’s never, never too late. I’ve seen men aged 60-75 get GFs and wives. One of them even had children with his new wife. Talk of the town is that one of these men never had a partner before.

its never too late to start being lovely

If you aren’t already and read this, then it is too late now!

At 30+ my romantic relationships are far more personal and romantic then any relationship I had in my 20’s…
gmtom@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Well you had relationships in your 20s though?

No-one expects their dick to just drop off on their 30th birthday until it happens.

Nothing triggers my depression more than seeing happy couples

I will always update scrubs! Man it’s been too long…

It takes a lot of work and compromise. You are getting one glance at a lifetime.
I got married sorta recently. My biggest hold-up was the fact that the most optimal outcome of marriage was this: I was going to spend the remainder if my life making them happy, always being there, and being an essential part of their existence, and when they need me most, in their golden days, near the end, they’re gonna have to hold my hand and watch me fucking die.
I told them this before I proposed, and the crazy thing was, they were still all for it.

If you insist on it being a girl, then yeah, it’s too late. Adult relationships have their own brand of sweet and romantic.
RBWells@lemmy.world 1 week ago
30 is too old to date a girl, yes. Not too old to date a woman though.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
Yup, my brother married a wonderful woman when he was in his late 30s. They’ve been married >5 years and they still seem happy.
I’ve known people who found love much later as well. It’s never too late OP.

It’s a bitter pill to swallow, but the truth is that some people just aren’t meant to be loved. I think accepting that is, for some people, a bit part of growing up and becoming a more mature person. You gotta stop being envious of others who possess something you never will and just kinda…get on with your life. Find a cause you care about. Put your energy elsewhere. Maybe stop watching romcom anime.
AeonFelis@lemmy.world 1 week ago
A big part of the problem is that society as a whole took upon itself to ridicule these people are just aren’t meant to be loved.
rwhitisissle@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
I don’t know if that’s a part of the problem or just a separate problem altogether. We expect people to partner up, when we should normalize people being alone. When people don’t or can’t, we might be hardwired in our monkey brains to see them as outcasts from the group.
Asafum@feddit.nl 1 week ago
That’s pretty much where I’m at. I’m 38 and supremely pathetic in the eyes of society. I’ve just accepted that I’m entirely undesirable and live how I want to, or at least live in the way I’m allowed to. In a way I’ve turned into my parents where I find myself saying “life isn’t a fairy tale” to people kinda often lol there is no “someone for everyone.”
Love is for other people. Homeownership is for other people. Career enjoyment is for other people. It is what it is.

Is there something that is (or could be) for you?
Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Everyone complaining about the gross vibes of the post, which like yeah, true. But also even within the framing of the post itself it’s just bad. The second and third lines are basically “realise X”. The third line adds nothing of value to the original OP’s intent.
mycodesucks@lemmy.world 1 week ago
What gross vibes?
Don’t lump OP in with incels. He’s not blaming other people for his problems, or complaining. He’s just lamenting. I don’t see anything in his post that’s gross. Leave a lonely dude alone. God forbid he let himself feel sad for 5 seconds.
Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 week ago
Sure, but why are you directing that at me? The point of my comment was to point out that that wasn’t the main thing of note in the OP.
chocosoldier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week ago
I spent most of my 20s alone, and met the woman I married at age 33. It’s never too late.
d00ery@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Meh, it can be easy to feel like that. But take a moment to look at all the songs, movies, and books about people who felt this way since the begining of time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovoBi3pXD_A

I don’t want a romantic moment. That shit is corny garbage.

I don’t care about the cookie cutter, and I’m not putting any kids on this rock.
Hildegarde@lemmy.world 1 week ago
If ur 30+ you can have romantic moments with women, which is nice.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 week ago
Don’t limit the guy. He can have romantic moments with men, too.
Hildegarde@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Regardless of gender, your 30s is a perfect time to date cute single people who just finished their first divorce.
Agent641@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Sometimes I have romantic moments all on my own.
