Single men in their early 30s... What's wrong with them?

bachelor He and She

Are you in your 30s but you're still single and don't have a girlfriend? Have you been a convinced bachelor all these years, but now you realize that something in your life is going wrong? Are you ready to give up your bachelor life but don't know how to find your soulmate? You are not alone in your search!

Thirty years is an interesting stage in the life of both women and men. Especially if a man has not had a family before that time.

Who are you, an unmarried man in his early 30s?

For any man, the most precious value in his life is freedom. And the younger he is, the higher the price of freedom. A man sees any woman, even the most beloved and beautiful one, as an encroacher on this super-value. Partly he is right - sweet and naive girls, starting from about 18-20 years old, want to get from a man family happiness (that is, a stamp in the passport, love, protection, children and other family joys). And a man of this age just wants the opposite - to enjoy his freedom to the fullest. He faces a choice: to sacrifice freedom for the sake of his favorite girl and family, or to keep freedom, but lose both the girl and the family. Those who chose the first option, most of them live quite well. But for those who could not part with freedom, in 30 years comes a turning point.

man in his 30s

For an unmarried man in his 30s, his freedom is gradually turning from a super-value into a super-booze. Yes, yes, that's right! What happens? There is saturation - short novels with unfamiliar girls no longer bring satisfaction, the girls themselves become toothache similar to each other, but the worst is waiting at home. At home awaits a beast whose name is loneliness. The bachelor's life is mostly depressing: an eternal mess in the house, monotonous food from convenience foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner, in the interlocutors - TV or computer. Married buddy is jealous, because he can not bring a prostitute home, unlike you, but you know the truth - you do not need prostitutes. What you need is what you thoughtlessly gave up a few years ago: a cozy home, a variety of food, washed clothes every day, care and attention, the realization that at home you are waiting for the one who loves you....

On the other hand, not all is lost! 30 is a fruitful age at which to build a family.

It is possible, but not as easy as it seems. Girls under 30 are looking for guys their own age, while women over 30 have either already found their happiness or don't need a husband at all. When you look more closely, you realize that neither of them want to take care of you and make your life easier. You should not only receive the necessary care and warmth, but also give something in return.

If you have something to offer a girl, you are to be congratulated.

But, most likely, you have nothing much to offer. Enjoying your freedom, you did not develop your potential, but simply spent your strength and health to satisfy your desires. No wonder that even young and naive girls look at you condescendingly. It remains only to either persistently continue to look for the one who will become your family, or write yourself into a convinced bachelor - from hopelessness ....

But as Chinese folk wisdom says, there are at least 42 ways out of any hopeless situation.

Often men over 30 are accompanied by unpleasant companions - mild apathy or depression and alcoholism generated by it.

Are you likely to suffer from depression as well? Or is it just a mild apathy for now? It's time for you to see a psychologist! In order to radically change your life (and that's what you want to do, isn't it?), you need to first remove, at the root, apathy or get out of depression and shake off the alcoholic fumes. A few sessions of psychotherapy and you're ready for battle!

wealthy bachelor

Having recovered, you realize that any woman needs to offer something in exchange for care. Do not take offense at the female species for excessive mercantilism, it is better to think about how the situation looks from her side: she keeps the house in order, works, providing for herself, perhaps already raising one or two children. In general, cares full of mouth. And then some man in his 30s, nothing, in fact, not representing himself, wants her to take care of him! Does she need it? The answer is obvious.

The most trivial way to attract a girl is to provide yourself with a decent income

Allowing her, for example, not to work, but to do housework. The idea is not bad, but most likely you have already realized that it is not so easy for a person with wasted potential in our turbulent world to earn a lot of money. You need another option.

A psychologist will also help in finding such options. Often a woman needs not money, but some human qualities that a man is able to give. Perhaps you do not have the highest income, but you are ready to take care of her children? Ready to take on the "male" part of the work at home? Are you ready to give her respect and love in gratitude for her care? If yes, then the creation of a family for you - a matter of time and perhaps a minimum of help from the outside.

You cherished your freedom and indulged your selfishness, and now you are reaping the bitter fruits of your shortsightedness. But if you are ready to show attention to others, to give up part of their own interests for the sake of the family - you and for 30 has a real chance to create a family. After all, 30 years or a little more - not the end of life, but only the middle....
