30ish and Single???? 2 Good 2B True or RED Flag?


I had the opportunity to see some of my old friends from college this past weekend and we got a chance to catch up on life.
I was surprised to learn that more than a few of them were still single. My brother is single, my cousin is single, my uncle is single, my frat brothers are single ......damn, I realized that there are a lot of people who are 30ish and still single.
We sat around and talked about if being single at our age is a rare find and to good to be true, or a RED flag that screams "Run N***, ...Run".

The majority of them wondered if women went through the same thought process that men did when they met a 30ish single person of the opposite sex.

The first thing a man thinks about when he meets a single woman in her 30's is.....
"damn, she fine.....Why is a lady like this still single????      Awwww shit, this b*** must be crazy."

  (Exit Stage Right, then Run)

It's obvious that women wonder the same about single men in their 30's. Because they start asking shit like,
"Sooooo, you're not married?   You don't have any kids?????"   Then they start trying to indirectly find out if you're gay and if you subscribe to Cosmo magazine and shop at Banana Republic or Baby Gap.

But really, it is only natural to wonder if something is wrong with them isn't it?
We have all been taught that if something seems too good to be true,,,,,  It probably is.

Statistically, the odds of finding someone in their 30's who is single, childless, no baggage from a previous marriage, and isn't crazy, controlling, abusive, or unemployed.........is slim to none.

Therefore, it makes perfect sense to be skeptical of someone you meet who is still single.

I asked a few of my friends why they never settled down, and they said that either someone broke their heart or it was too many fish in the sea and that everyone they knew who did settle down, regretted it.


[Friend:] "Of all the people you know who are married, how many of them are either miserable, depressed, going through a divorce or re-married?"

[Me: ]"A lot of them"

[Friend:] "Same here. So after seeing this trend among those around me, how much sense does it make for me to go out and make the same mistake that they made?"

[Me:] "Not much sense, if you put it like that. But you can't predict your future happiness based on other people's situations."

[Friend:] "True"

[Me:] "So you mean to tell me that you are never going to get married?"

[Friend:] "Naw, I'm not saying that. In fact, I think I am ready to settle down.....If I can find the right one. I think I have lived the single life long enough to say that I FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT." (lol)
"It's just harder to find a good, AVAILABLE one after 30 (that aint crazy as a Honey Badger on crack)"

I wondered why I used to see these 8+ star chicks with these 4+ star dudes. But now I know.
The closer you get to 30, the lower your standards get, because those 10+ star people have already been scooped and scored with.

So if you sit around waiting on your 10 star prize catch.......

Jesus might return before that happens and take you to a place where there are noting but 10 Stars, but I doubt there will be much bumping and grinding there. So whats the point of having a 10 star chick there?????? 5+ chicks usually hold better conversations anyway, and that's about the only thing ya'll will be holding up there right?????
