Can you find love after 30?

Can a guy who hasn’t had much luck with women until his 30s find love by then or is it already too late for him?

    There's no hard cutoff age but, I think we'd be lying if we said dating becomes more difficult with age, or at least it does past a certain age. I'd argue I did better in my late 20s than early 20s, so sometimes having a few more years of experience and maturity helps. However the older you get the more people in your age bracket have either coupled off or lost interest in romance so pickings become slimmer, also dating is harder when you have less energy, easier to find people to fool around with when youthful horniness can drive you to stay up till 4am on the slim chance of making out with someone you met at Brian Keenan's after game kegger.

    But there's people who find love in retirement homes so anything is possible.

      around what age does it become like that? when do people lose youthful horniness like that?

        Different for different people but usually around 30. Maybe it's less that they're not as horny but the staying up till 4pm becomes harder. And yeah I'm 30 and most of my friends are either married or in very serious relationships now so meeting singles my own age does feel harder.

          I wonder if it necessarily becomes harder to stay up all night as you get older, as long as you're still getting the required number of hours of sleep
