Also, for those worried about aging and dating. I get way more positive attention and much better experiences as a 35 year old woman than when I started as a 28 year old woman. I don't believe I've been hit up for casual sex or a "casual relationship" on an app in like 4 years. This used to be constant and aggressive. Most, if not all the men I meet in real life on a first date are super cute, and 9.9/10 I get a second date. When I was new to this, I could go on 5 and get no second date. Also, lots of not super cute men back then. Lots of variables at play here, but this has been my experience. Problem is that most of the men I meet now are deeply broken in one way or another, and no amount of me being emotionally mature will fix that.
