Do you believe this to be true?

Question

The older you are the harder it is get find someone? Because you when you are younger you have high school and college and there are people everywhere. But, when you are older what do you have? People at your work, friends of friends, bars? So, the older you get the harder it is to find that special person? And why is that?

Answer 1

Yes, I think it's true, as older people, say in their 30's are most likely married or just become more settled in their ways. Sometimes it's hard to just pick anyone to be with. You become more selective so therefore the choice of men becomes smaller and smaller.  

Answer 2

i disagree i never really found someone till i was about 20. it didnt last that long but hey, I am willing to wait for that one person. It not harder to find that one person when ur old,its that thought of that person leaving or cheating on u is the question

Answer 3

The older you get the chances of people being single decreases.

Answer 4

That's maybe because the older you get, the fewer people around you are still sigle.

Answer 5

It isn't true, you become more selective though.

Answer 6

Yes its true because  getting older more qualifications needs.

Answer 7

i think it depends on how old you are talking about. of course someone in their late 30's, especially women im sure its harder for them to find someone.

Answer 8

That's not necessarily true. As long as you keep yourself busy with a variety of interests or activities, you'll be in contact with a lot of different people. Now if you limit yourself to work or frequenting a bar now and then, then you will be less likely to find someone than those that remain active.

Answer 9

Yes. Young people are willing to do anything new.

Answer 10

I don't think its true.

I think there is a possibility for everyone.

Answer 11

I don't know that its harder I think that people who are older are more cautious and want to make sure someones mr or mrs right.  I'm 25 was waitressing at a steakhouse My fiance was working on putting new street signals up he saw me waiting for the bus one day and ever since that day he wouldn't stop pursuing me I think if you don't look love will come following close behind.

Answer 12

Although finding a place where certain age groups cluster might play a role, I think when you're older it's harder to find someone special because since you're old, you have a pretty solid idea of what you want and what you're looking for. As to highschool and college, where all that matters is how cute he/she is, and ifhe's nice to you or what not.

Answer 13

Well when you're young people have boyfriends and girlfriends but as you get older people will marry have kids and so on so when you're older not many people are looking for a couple

Answer 14

I never experienced this..  I found that the older I got the easier it was.  Maybe experience?  Distinguished?  possibly all women are money grubbing scoundrels?  who knows... with age I got richer and richer.. so that might be it.

root of all evil is money... or more likely, the lack OF

I can see it being harder with the older you get if you're like many older americans that are broke fat ugly and living from paycheck to paycheck....   at least when you were young and in school you had "potential" but now everyone your own age sees what a bum you are and it becomes painfully obvious you will not land anyone decent for partner
