Re:
Life Rewards What You Put Into It.
I've seen the light at the end of the tunnel for some grown friends; it isn't pretty. Then again, if it's your life, and you're gonna pass of this dimension, might as well go how you want it.
Every guy wants the ONE, but that means taking as many attempts at finding her as Babe Ruth did to reach the home run record. The top home run leader, also happens to be the strike out leader, because they swing for the fences.
IMO, most people are too rigid to find THE ONE. Such rigid rules may work if you're being very active in dating, meeting upwards of 100 women/yr, but if you're not reaching to the stratosphere, who cares?
A quote from a statisician once said...
The reality of finding the one is akin to meeting EVERY possible dateable person available to you on Earth, and then selecting the next best one after having accomplished that feat.
If you're market is only the US, it will be incredibly hard. You shouldn't settle for less, but unless you're putting good vibes out there, good vibes won't come back. It's like a ripple in a pond. It goes out, and bounces back. An echo.
Having seen friends in their 40's dating is nice for the freedom, and some score young girls, but at the point, my priorities WILL be different.
So yes for me. And kudos to the rest who seek to die without spawning anymore seeds. I'll set that my children create an empire to conquer and generate a prolific harem in 2050.
