I'm 27 today

[Sifu Ben]

I'm 32 and several of mine are divorced ;) actually, this is an important fact for people in their mid-late 20s feeling down about their relationship status. There are WAY more available good looking 30 year old women than 25 year old ones, as the 25 year olds are all loved up with some loser who they've split up with by the time they're 30.

Maybe, but the 30 year olds have a very good chance of coming with a clutch of horrible gobby soon-to-be-teenagers.  :?

Average age of pregancy in the UK is 29.1, there are plenty of childless 30 year old women out there.

Yeah, but they're all high fliers who are concentrating on their careers before quickly popping out a couple of future captains-of-industry just before their biological clocks run out.  Not at all the type to be interested in no-hopers like me.  :lol:

I have a, er, "friend" who may occasionally look at online dating sites....  One thing I've my friend has noticed is that women in their 30s and 40s are no longer looking for older men - they're going just a few years either side of their own age, with the emphasis, if anything, on younger.  

I always used to think my time would come in my 40s - I've always looked young for my age, at 25 I could probably have passed for about 12 - but now it's looking like the best I can hope for is a moderately rich widow.  Bah!   :(

Good to hear that some have had success with counseling, CBT, etc.  :)

I always used to think my time would come in my 40s

I'm 38 and still dreaming that'll come true

Philly, Plexi Ken listen up my friends. I've been internet dating for 10 years and had more dates than I can remember. My hit rate for want of a better phrase is around 50%. I'm with someone lovely right now and want it to work out long term. I always wanted to find someone i clicked with but its a lottery. This can be good as you WILL meet women who will want to be with you, its not always a case of they won't like you. You will meet women who you won't like too. One thing, there are women who like your kinds of music and there are a lot more who don't. Its not always that they have a closed mind, just lack of exposure. Girls do love something they can dance to. Most are just built that way. They do like a man with a passion for things he loves.
It doesn't mean that you have to go clubbing though. Most have done with all that in their 30s and 40s. What they want more than anything is sex!  You have to get over the 1st internet date nerves but after a few its easy and your confidence will soar. I was nervous the first time i had a blind date and as it turned out she had been on loads and was very gentle. For a bit... 8)
Pub dates = drunk or in a tipsy state, things can happen very quickly if they like a few glasses of wine. Most girls these days drink more units of alcohol than men.
Coffee shops are a good alternative. Caffine can make some people jibber jabber like a crazy fool though. There is always De-Caf.
Then the arty types may like a gallery or museum but be aware of pretentiousness!
Think about what it is your looking for.
If you own property be very very aware of gold diggers. Especially ladies from other countrys. I'm of course not generalising but if you have seen the damage I've seen because of this then you would understand.
Good luck and relax. Don't let life pass you by. What's the worse that can happen?
 :D

That's one thing I have realised.  I'm not sure I find women who like my kind of music attractive anyway, generally speaking....

Good grief man, I'm nearly 46, d'you think I can deliver on that front?  :?  :(

If they want sex they'll have to go hire a young Burmese houseboy looking for a green card.

Women will expect you to like bloke music. They wont think much of you if you listen to J-Lo going on about the rocks that she's got and coming from the block (she never). If you like ACDC then she'll understand. On her level they are behind the Ironman film her son wants to see/seen and loves.
You like football and guitars. These are man things and they expect you to like stuff like this. The guitar bit may intrigue her as lots of kids want to play them now. You could teach hers. These are things that happen to me based on dates I've had. They can happen to you too Phil.

As for the other points. You keep yourself reasonably fit by running. That's a 100% more than most blokes do. You also don't smoke. Another + point to you and your a light drinker. The chicks won't be able to keep away once you put yourself out there.
Try Planet Rock Dating (it worked for me)
Also keep away from dating direct, there are too many fussy jaded women on there.
Give Girls date for free a go, its self explanatory! Their ratio for full male members to women is very high, so more chances, lots more.
Go on Phil if you start this summer by Christmas you will be a looking back thinking why didn't do this before. You will!

Only in name. Basically there is a platform dating site out there called white label dating. If you want to start one of your own then a few entrepreneurial people have used this, including planet rock, yes its the radio station. BUT! Its only in name, it links you up with all the other branded sites using this platform so you do get ahem...a lot of bang for buck. But that's the whole point of it anyway!
Try one, its the only way to meet women if you don't go out that much. You don't want to leave it until you join the local Bowls club now do you!  :lol:

Live now Phil, you'll regret it if you don't!

(I've just bid on your Warmouth and tele neck!)

Those Readers Wives types are just as nervous as meeting people online as anyone else. Its just a front, as they think it puts men on the back foot and they can control them like putty in their hands. What you have to do is see through the hype and get things on your terms. That's how I play it now and it always works for me. Trust me, I can help you!

Wish me luck as they look lovely! (The Guitar Parts!)

I just edited the ^ above.

Well, appearances may be deceptive, I grant you.

But I'm a "friendship possibly leading to romance" type.  Those gals look like they want Mandingo.
