Let me start by saying I've had my fair share of everything ranging from "one night stands", 2-3 month flings and serious (2+ year) relationships.

What I've found as I get older (high school past college) is the term "settling down" is a very scary thing for most women. I am starting to think the tides have really turned, and it's increasingly difficult to find someone stable who wants kids, marriage, etc.

"Divorce culture", social media, "FOMO" etc., i think our generation has it the hardest. Even if you get married, vows mean nothing anymore.

OP, got to start vetting the women properly. Background, family structure, religion, politics, income. Don't be afraid to talk to every woman you see, they want you to. And don't be afraid to stick to your criteria.

I have stopped looking and started working on myself. Get my shit together, be the man that they all want and I will have the attention of the few good ones.

How so? If the answer is to disregard females, acquire currency, I don't want to hear it. I've been doing that for 10+ years now. Im  getting to the point in my life where I want to find someone who is serious, date for a couple years and make sure before I propose a marriage and a life of commitment....

You'll probably want to look to look at younger option, from a good family, with morals, and religious beliefs.   Those women usually get married earlier.

I've dated in the late 20's and 30's pool of women and there isn't anything out there worth pursuing long term. Selfishness, too much social media, and immaturity. I'm focusing on myself now. I'm traveling all over with the money I've saved and going to awesome places. Hawaii two months ago and I'm planning a trip to Yosemite soon. I'd like to meet someone to travel with but it doesn't seen like it's in the cards for me now.

In my experience if a woman isn't married byou the mid to late 20s it's either because no one wants her or she doesn't want anyone. Either way it will likely be an issue in the future. So look for singles before that.

The exception being if you or they got married and divorced. At times things don't work out.

Download it on your phone and a week or two later tell your gf or wife you've been using Tinder for several weeks. Fires will be started.

I'm 32 and been divorced for a year now. Pretty much it seems like it's a total shitshow with women late 20's to early or mid 30's. Delusionally picky or totally nuts and wanting to jump instantly into a committed relationship.

I don't envy you young dudes.  In my day, you just got drunk and you both said meh, fucked, and if it seemed like you wanted to do it a lot more, you had a relationship.  Then you meet one that you want to marry, and that's  it.  No.texting, likes, winks, faggotry or herpes.

You sound like your pressing a little. Relax date a lot and don't settle. When the right one comes along you will both feel the same and it will just work. Just enjoy life, friends and women till then

The last girl I dated in her mid twenties got mad at me because I didn't send her enough text messages. I told her right then and there to hit the fucking boulevard.

Exactly what I did. I now am on my 2nd fleshlight. I don't do kids, I do not like obese women, and I hate hate visable tattoos on a woman. Some are okay, but not full sleeve, fuck that.

My last few dates from Match (25-30 bracket too):

1. Her mom showed up towards the end of dinner at a restaurant and sat down with us.
2. Invited one girl to dinner and a movie. She accepts, and I find out as we're getting the tickets that she's deathly afraid of crowds and thinks she'll have a panic attack in the theater.
3. Hit it off really well with another girl. Had an amazing few weeks then all of a sudden she just disappeared.
4. First 20 minutes with one girl and she jumps on me in the car. Ok cool... But.... Youz a hoe.
5. Never showed
6. Never showed
7. Never showed
8. Turned out to be a lot... Different... Than her profile.

Eta: oh and another who I hit it off well on the first date, but the next day I got stuck at work without my phone and when I got back to check it, I had about 15 missed calls and 20 next messages from her about how I'm a dick for ignoring her and shit

So what's the solution, finding girls in college or fresh out and running the risk they dump you for "fomo", or writing off this age group were in and remaining single forever? At 26, there has to be better options. My parents got married at 30 and had me at 34 in the late 80s...

Past 30 you'll see a difference in the women to choose from.  Physically they're going downhill, mentally they've been outcast for a long time already.

Find yourself a 20 something in her prime and stick with her if it works out.

You're problem may be that you're talking about settling down with dates. Let the wimminz be the first to bring stuff like that up, its just safer that way.

I met my wife through a friend and it's the best thing ever. 11 year anniversary is tomorrow.

These threads are always good for a laugh. The loser basement dwellers, people trying to convince themselves that jerking off alone all the time is the optimal "relationship", and the dudes that are ridiculously bad at judging character / choosing women are pure comedy gold.
