Is it just me or are women actually harder to date when they get to their thirties?
The common layman thinking has always been that women are at a disadvantage if they’re single by 30+, due to their fertility diminishing. However from what I observed…this doesnt seem like the case.
Most that I’ve met in that age range actually seem rather content being single. In fact, most of them who are still single by 30+ are usually just single by choice. Of course I’m speaking from SG context.
And I’d assume those that are desperate enough to get a relationship would have done so easily before they turned 30+, right?
It also isnt as hard for women to find relationships compared to men if they’re under 30 y/o, due to their advantage in dating apps and aplenty of options.

- Probably because at this age group they are comfortable with themselves and know what they want and what are the red flags to them (due to experience). For some ppl it may be easier to date them though.
- Female in my 30s here. Some of my single friends are actually jaded due to past relationship traumas and have given up on dating and are choosing to focus on other things instead (e.g. pursuing hobbies, travelling, career, buying a home). Some also have difficulty meeting people due to work/family commitments (e.g. caring for elderly parents). For those who are actively looking for a relationship with the intention of settling down, I feel they tend to be more particular as they know what they want in a partner (which is garnered from experience, either personal and/or overheard) compared to say someone in their 20s who may still be dating casually.
- I guess women in 30s definitely know their worth and they know exactly what they want and what they are looking for in their future partner. Especially if the intention is to settle down, they won’t waste their time in random dating.
- Should women be easy because they are 30+? Let them live the way they want
