I hear lots of 30+ crowd on here say it gets a lil easier at that age because you truly don't give a sh!t anymore, which makes you more attractive automatically. I'm the same way, definitely have to be 21, but for some reason, it seems as though 23-24 year old girls are 100 times more mature than than the 21 year olds, so that's what I try to target. I just don't know how to meet some friends, or wings, without looking like a f-a-g. Thanks.
I was going to respond to your post when I first saw it, but that first sentence up there really made me think and I had to bounce it around in my head for a little while first. I never really considered it, but there is some merit to what you say. I've been with my wife for 10 years, married 5, so I haven't had the issue of worrying about whether I picked up a woman or not for a long time. I always knew in the back of my head that I had a loving woman at home waiting for me. That being said, however, even though I'm only in my early 30s, I can say there's a certain inner control I have now that I didn't have in my 20s. Is that merely because I'm in my 30s now? I honestly can't say, but it's definitely something I'll be thinking hard on in the coming months. Thank you.
The age cutoff for me is more about where I can take a girl to have fun. I don't get much into the maturity thing, per se, because I'm more into the "friends with benefits" scene rather than looking for a relationship. With that kind of setup, I can keep things very light and don't have to deal with much drama, which is where maturity really plays a key role. It works for me, but the few I end up having a relationship with tend to be about the same age as my wife, which is to say about 5 years younger. Coincidence? Maybe, but my gut says "no."
I'm not sure I can give you advice on meeting friends because that process is very easy for me, always has been, and I don't know what I do to meet these guys. When talking to a guy you get along with, eventually you start talking about relationships and dating. Of course, you wouldn't want to get deep into that when you first meet them, because that'd be weird, but it does come up eventually. What they say and how they respond when you get to that point usually gives you an indication if this guy would make a good wing. Maybe you might want to try "The Wingman Forum" on this board and see if there's anyone around you? At least then, you'd have a common stated goal that might make things easier.
I don't really know what you mean by looking like a f-a-g, but then I'm known for just speaking my mind. My philosophy is like Popeye - "I am what I am, and that's all what I am." If people don't like it, there's nothing I can do to help that.
