    It's time, I've messed around for too long and now am ready for the real stuff. Trouble is the pool has shrunk considerably and it's difficult to find a woman who I can see myself settle with. Even those I've let go in the past, because I didn't think they had the 'it' factor are congealed by now. What am I to do?

    I suspect this is a troll

    however, I will leave it open for a little while and see what happens

    What am I to do?

    what exactly is it you want us to tell you here?

    what age are you?

    Well I don't really know what I want to be told. The point is that I'm in crossroads city and I am unsure of the best course of action. i.e. give up on 'happening' upon the one and settle for a nice stable lass, or wait and see as there is someone for everyone supposedly and possibly be left in effective limbo for the next 40 years. I'm just gone 30. Trust me, this has nothing to do with the fact that "4 weddings and a funeral" was on tv over the weekend. Movies have no affect on real people's lives!

    that is the only sensible course
    probably as soon as you stop looking, someone will turn up

    I'm just gone 30

    you are hardly over the hill yet
    relax
    see how it goes

    settle for a nice stable lass

    this would suggest to me that you are trolling, who in their right mind would 'settle'?

    i think you'd be suprised at the mount of guys who have the "screw around till i'm 32, find a nice little wife, dont matter who she is as long as she can cook and keep the bed warm" philosophy on settling down.

    .. I don't understand how you could "settle down" ... if that isn't what you wanted to do? ... seems like a form of torcher to me ...

    everyone has this damm fear of dying alone... you should read the thread titled 'Find Love'... there are a few pros and cons listed bout the whole buddying up thing... but thats considering you are in Love ... if you are just settling then forget it... go find someTHING to love as opposed to someone ... *as in 'thing' I mean a hobbie... or a place .. not a blow up doll!*

    ... and continue on pleasing all the other lonely thirty year olds sexually! ... if you haven't bonded by now... the chances are you don't know how to.

    Sorry.. thats harsh.

    Its just a 30s "crossroads" thing, if you don't dwell on it it will pass.

    Well, the advice seems to be to ride it out (pun not entirely intended) things will sort themselves out in time. Maybe, but Ferdi - "i think you'd be suprised at the mount of guys who have the "screw around till i'm 32, find a nice little wife, dont matter who she is as long as she can cook and keep the bed warm" philosophy on settling down." - is right, if not a little coarse. Your mindset and requirements do change and not neccessarily out of the awareness of your age. You do tend to listen more to Frank Sinatra and less to Linkin Park, because that what you now like, not because that's what you think you like or what you're supposed to like. So I reckon I'm contemplating taking things seriously now, while I never had to in the past, because "ahh there's plently of time for that sort of thing when I'm older".
