Younger Redditors, what would you like to ask 35+ year old Redditors?

You have to think about it in most peoples average life goals. The textbook, cookie cutter life is get married in your 20's, have kids, retire in your late 50's or 60s.

So you will have a little lull when you get into your early 30's. The reason this is the case is because all of your 30 something friends have gotten married, or are in a serious relationship with kids.

I am not saying this is true for everyone. But I definitely noticed my single friend pool drop to almost nothing once I hit 30. You have to go older or younger if you want a wing man. I have tons of friends, just maybe a handful that are single. And when you don't have single friends, I have found it a lot harder to meet single people. Most married couples or couples in general hang out with other couples.

But then, you hit your late 30's and early 40's. It picks right back up again! Lots of divorces, or people who in their early 20's were raising kids are now single with no kids in the house. It comes right back around again. And it is even better! You know what you want. You aren't going to mess around with the typical drama. Its so much more freeing dating the second time around.

That has been my experience at least.
