There’s likely 10-20 guys on your block or within a 2-3 block radius that may have been seen as ‘perfectly acceptable’ as mate material 20 & even 10 years ago. If you did not recognize this at the time? It’s only gotten more difficult to find a proper match as time has marched on. More folks will have more baggage on average. More people will have more negative experiences to work through. More people will have gotten married, remarried and then sworn off the idea! More women will have ‘completed their reproductive careers’ and not want any more kids. Which BTW? Seems to be unattractive to perhaps at least half the guys, of any age under 40-50. Ditto for Exs that are constantly in the picture due to various child custody arrangements that can yes, sprawl across the landscape and use up every bit of ‘spare time’ for the duration of that childhood.
So strangely enough? You’ve really got to be smart enough to recognize when a ‘reasonably good thing’ is standing before you and yes even if he/she might be ‘compatible enough’ to try to get along for a few years. Because other than that clear cut assessment? Everything else is still a crap shoot! You’ll never know how ‘well the fit’ is until you try. And all too may folks in the big cities? Are somehow no longer willing & able to do so.
Again, perhaps one of those areas where it may have been better to have ‘struck some bargain’ a decade or so at least. Because the general ‘market conditions’ have only gone on to deteriorate rapidly ever since! (Which again is something that might have required some foresight to see & predict). Cheers, ‘VJ’
