I don’t want to speak for all men past the age of 30 but I have had no issues living the player lifestyle and getting around at all. Tons of women in their 20s past college age love an experienced cool guy with his **** together and lots of older women past 30 have gone through the marriage game and prefer to have a second go at the one night stand culture.
Now if you are stuck in a small town, flyover country, or a bum**** city then your experience will not be the same as mines. If you are a guy over 30 who wants the player life, you’re going to have to move to a major world class city like NYC, Chicago, or Miami; outside of those cities it is just not doable. For that, you need money and for money, you need to have your sh-t together.
One other thing I will add is that men who pedestalize college and college girls after a certain age are seriously lacking. I find it creepy when older guys go for college girls and hold them to be the cream of the crop. A lot of these guys either missed out on college and are trying to overcompensate with a crowd that won’t even want them.
I’ve been with women in the mid and late twenties who were way more fun than college girls, especially the 22-25 age group in big cities. You find most college girls quickly run past the house parties, get bored of them, and are itching to get into the high end bars as they edge closer to 20. Frat parties get old for girls in a year and they are done with that after their freshman run, latest sophomore. Even when I party in Miami and NYC during the summers in the past, we had tons of upperclassmen from The U, Bama, Ole Miss, FSU, Arizona St, and USC (all prime schools for the hottest girls) itching to party in the nicest spots there.
I even used to have flings with an Arizona girl who was in a top sorority there who said after sophomore year, mostly everyone is done with Greek Life.
As someone who is over 30 and single, I cannot complain at all and love my life. Then again, I made the right decisions and put in the work to make myself attractive. Some guy who didn’t do that and is expecting the house is going to be disappointed. Eitherways, YMMV is the answer, don’t listen to everyone whining about life past 30 but also be cautiously optimistic.
