Eventually options will dwindle as you get older, even as a top tier male. If you’re interested in procreating, you should at the very least have a firm plan by mid 30s or you might have to settle hard. Also not easy to raise young children as you get older.

It's not rocket surgery. Most dudes settle for the first sloot who acknowledges their existence.

Low self esteem and mortal fear of being alone. Sad!

Yeah fear of being alone and realization that you prob can’t get what you really want. If every guy held out for a 10/10 girl then almost nobody would ever marry. You have to be realistic as to what you can get.

After spending several years in teh dating game, I give no fukcs about finding a soulmate and would rather be with a woman I can get along well with and raise a family with. I think people overly romanticize the notion of finding someone who complements you in a lovey, romantic way. Finding someone who can be a great wife and mother to my children is all I need. Hell my parents are barely compatible with each other but have been married almost 40 years.

"good enough" is a misnomer and kind of misleading. Good enough really can be good, and it beats the **** out of staying single into middle adulthood with no family around. Just make sure you vet the woman properly. Nobody does that anymore and that's how they get into trouble, not that they didn't pair with someone who had the same political beliefs or hobbies
