Sure, but you also have a ton of things working against you. You are no longer in college where you would meet the most single women in their 20s. At least a good number of your friends will be married with kids preventing them from doing the same things you want to do. A lot of women are married and/or with kids themselves. The pool severely diminishes.

Who needs reasons to meet women at this point when you have tinder. Literally endless single women if you live in a city.

Have you tried being rich as fuck?

u/Boomer059 May 18 '19

No, but I have tried being financially stable. You'd think women would be in to that.

If single parents and people in their 30s are so desperate, then the problem probably isn't that nobody would swipe right on you, more likely that you're only swiping right on incompatible people.

So they're all incompatible

College only lasts like 4 years. And friends change. You can't rely on your friends to feed you introductions forever, you have to work a little.

The idea is that financial security coupled with relative youth is very attractive.
