random pairing in a college class
closer to 50 than 25
I did my undergrad at a top school and earned an MBA from a target M7 b-school (Harvard)
ok
College. And trust me when I say this: Try to meet more dating options in college. Because by the time you turn 25, all the best guys and gals are paired off. Occasionally they re-enter the dating market, but they're usually not struggling for options.
Username checks out. Anyways now that I've missed the bus, do tell us where all the single women are
Well, I'd say this is the biggest problem you likely have: you're not friends with enough women. When I was in college, I had more friends that were women than I could count. Just friends, nothing more than that. But through that, I met more women. Naturally, a few I found myself rather fond of, including my now wife.
If you're good friends with women and you've got your shit together, there's a high chance they'll try to set you up with their friends if you just ask.
How old are you man? Feel like this may be a boomer take but maybe Im wrong
Nearly 30, unfortunately I've seen it too many times where people get to 26-30 range and dating just gets harder and harder, to the point luck becomes more and more a component. Luckily I'm not that fucking unc.
I agree. The beautiful, smart, good personality types come off the market quickly. The opening is usually right after they break up with their high school bf after a year or so in college. After that, there are many suitors.
This is terrible advice in many cases.
People after college change quite often: you can't extrapolate someone's behaviour in their early 20s to their mid-20s and beyond.
Most people don't really change. They might change viewpoints, but core reflection on your personality and individual flaws is incredibly rare. Most people will never change, unfortunately.
Surface level things are one thing, who you are fundamentally is another.

I'd bump that up to "by the time you turn 30."
Met mine in college - had an overlap extracurricular music class we both took, didn’t count for any credit for either of us, but we definitely got more out of it than any other class
Met mine online, and not long after, we together ever since
Met my wife at a party thrown by a mutual friend while at university.
Early 30s
College, mid 20s
My most recent ex? Grindr.
wow, somebody got pissed off and threw monkey shit at me for being honest. He got a associates in textile design from FIT, and had an intelligence best described as lukewarm. Great abs though.
We worked together part time after college while we were both working low paying daytime jobs. I'm in my late 30s now, but we met when I was mid 20s and she was early 20s.
Hinge, though I have heard from colleagues in a younger cohort that apps have gone down hill post-COVID. I was using it 2017/2018 when I first moved to NYC from the West Coast and saw a good amount of success. After a couple of months, my now wife messaged me, we met after work at a wine bar, and the rest is history. Early 30s.
Yeah the apps were decent for me up until 2021. Now though, abysmal.
First met at a rock concert where we were each with mutual friends.
Continually bumped into each other after that, but didn't actually start dating until about 3 years after the concert, as we'd been dating other people.
Turning 59 soon and celebrated our 35th anniversary this year.
Hinge, my second year in the city.
I met her in my top MBA program
The top MBA part is helpful added context
Is there any other reason to go to HBS?
I'm actually cooked.
Stop talking about LLMs on dates so much. Girls don’t worship that shit like you do.
And don’t deny you do it. I know you do.
At what age are the good girls start disappearing? Guy above said over 25 and she's cooked but interested in other opinions
there is this magic thing where there are new 24 year olds every year
In college at the University of Hawaii. I saw her and her friends from far away the first week of Fall semester and thought to myself “this is going to be a good year” (I know it sounds creepy).
Later, my friend who went to another college that was on Trimester, so he did didn’t start school until mid-Sept, he was hanging around with me checking out my lecture classes with me. He pointed to a girl in my class and said “she’s cute.”
A couple months later, I was talking to this girl after the lecture class, and she walks by and I’m like “that’s the girl my friend thinks is cute.” The girl knew her and we follow her and she introduces us.
We’ve been together for over 25 years. How I asked her out is another story.
I had to go to b-school to find my husband. Was this close to being a spinster for life. Age 40

So glad it worked out for you.
What do you think stopped you from finding one earlier?
Tinder 33
Was this pre pandemic?
2019
i met a girl im about to start dating in the west village just by cold approach
I met one girlfriend in CFA L1 class. Hot blonde chick in fixed income.
I didn't realize CFA classes were a thing. How did that work? Did you find a tutor, or was it a program through your company?
Yeah I took L1 classes in DC and L2 classes with Peter Olinto live in NYC. It was like normal college class with 60 people.
I met all my previous ones through acquaintances. I remember meeting one in my 20s during a large international trip with a few people I sort of knew, a lot of alcohol was involved (probably why the relationship fizzled out after we had sober dates after the trip lol).
Otherwise, as I got older - it was often through a friend introducing us to each other thinking we would be a good match.
At a bar, extremely intoxicated
