women get pickier as they age?

[skim milk]

if you look at the pickiness of a woman throughout age 15-25... it increases with age. They have higher standards
I think after 30 or so they might start getting desperate

but for me... I have zero luck in high school and college... due to my avoidant personality
Looks like I'll have to wait until I'm at least 30 and marry a girl who is realizing she isn't getting any younger. There's no hope for me
people say have fun and date girls while I'm still young and when they aren't as picky.... what fun?

I don't think it has anything to do with being picky, and everything to do with your lack of confidence. Basically, if you aren't even confident that you are a good person and a good catch, why should she be interested?? Unless you are physically attractive to the point where nothing else matters, you'd better be confident and be able to show some ambition if you're going to land a good gal, at any age.

what you just said made no sense.
you said a woman's pickiness increases with age, but yet you are not having luck and think you'll have to marry someone who is at least 30 which then says they won't be as picky at that increased age.

which is it?

stop whining about women and get out there and meet people.... change YOUR attutitude first. things will come naturally after that. I have learned after a lot of trial and error that if you don't like something, the change starts with YOU. no one else. Don't "blame" women for being too picky. Men are picky too (when it comes down to it and when it really counts.)
Don't cry victim when you can most definatly change the situation. Take matters into your own hands. You yourself said you had a hard time because of your standoffish personality. It is hard to leave your comfort zone, but once you do, i assure you it will be worth the risks.

Besides, thats what life is about.

I think that most young women (not unlike most young men) are just stupid, and don't really get their priorities worked out until they get a little older. Of course, some of them never do.

QFT. I am in the same boat as you right now. And they are just picky because they start thinking long term as they get older. After a certain point though, like you said, they get desperate.

You could always go for someone young. j/k j/k

**EDIT**
But if they are more "picky", it just means you need to man up and show her a good time.

Yep women need to develop personalities once they hit 30 because they realize the "ass" won't be getting them much further.

There is a simple rule to follow with women. If you are young hang around with them all you want and get as much play as you can but don't get attached. Most women are not worth a crap until they are 26. Why you ask is the majic number 26? Simple....by then, if still single, they are out of school, have played out all their evil little fantasies, crushed the hearts of enough men that the thrill is gone, have had their hearts crushed at least once so now they "understand", they have lived on their own long enough to know what the real world is all about and understand the necessity of budgetting, and the most important part.....they finally realize they are not the only one in the world with a damp spot between their legs.

You answered you own question. If you avoid the women, you won't be getting any luck with women. That was me too (partly still). But then I fought hard (still fighting) to get out of that personality. Guess what? There are suddenly tons of women when I didn't think I had a chance in the past. Did the women just suddenly change? Nope. I did.

You are partially correct though. Women (and men) get stuck in ruts that they think they can't get out of. If you don't fit that rut perfectly, you aren't going to be getting a serious relationship. But I think that rut tends to firm up around the age of 40 - and mostly for those who haven't ever been married. People who have been single that long find comfort in other things. Things that they get way too attached to. They find an enjoyable single lifestyle, and it is damn hard to get them to change that lifestyle. No they aren't picky, they are just stubborn and unwilling to take big chances anymore.
