@simply_soft it’s competitive out there, especially if you’re chasing what most 27 y/o single women are chasing… a charismatic good looking guy, in shape, no kids, over 6ft tall, makes 6 figures, and has his shit together… My advice to all singles- step up your game, adjust your dating preferences, and your expectations. Also try flirting irl. Good luck!

Small Asian girl in her mid-20s! Echoing everyone’s comments about doing your best to sit near another woman. I know that my friends and I would be more than happy to play along and help a younger girl with “oh hey! How’s it going? I haven’t seen you since thanksgiving!”

I’m going to disagree with some commenters and agree with others: I do not engage with creeps, persistent panhandlers, and/or other people who scare me. I don’t want to show them that I’m feeling uncomfortable and I don’t want to encourage any more interaction inadvertently. I usually just stare dead ahead.

I’m so sorry she’s already had to experience this. Please tell her that she’s not alone

Men don’t even know how to put their socks in the laundry hamper or know that hanging sports memorabilia or flags on their walls are not consider interior design. You’re telling me they have the eye to spot the minor details of aging 5 years in your 20s? And that such minor details is enough to write a woman off? Give me a break.

Yea this is the exact scenario I’m thinking in my head. Young guys want to party and think she’s trying to get married, old guys want to settle down and not experience hangovers, and think she wants to party. Guys her own age are probably either in relationships or lack the same life experience because they’ve been focused on grad school or work.

I’d probably flat out put “young at heart and still ready to party” or “ready to avoid hangovers and find my partner” based on her goals. Atleast that would broaden her appeal to the target audience.

Yeah there is a sweet spot after they've processed through the divorce and are single. I was definitely a hot mess after mine, they need a year or two to figure themselves out and get over it.

Unless you're just looking for something casual, in which case they are a good catch. Definitely are not going to be locking you down.
