Throughout my early 20s I exclusively was dating 27-35 year olds.
Generally they all had been beaten up by bad relationships, maybe a failed marriage. They all had their own routines, jobs, homes.
My experience has always been when you throw 'game' at near/post 30 women they just look at you like you're too much work. The ones in bars always are fucking head cases. If you're in decent shape and not a total train wreck join some sports clubs or other stuff. Went with a friend to his volleyball league and it was like I was a prize to win. Next three weeks it was like a rotating door policy.
