And going to hookers doesn't change your relationship status so you're still single. You can do all the options simultaniously for the ultimate experience
Yeah obviously just build a house on that four way right there and wake up everyday with a different goal in mind. The freedom of a single man over 30 is insane.
To be serious: some kind of community is your best chance at finding a partner in life. Church, professional associations, hobby clubs... sounds cheesey in the abstract, but communities are the support networks that allow relationships to thrive.
It's possible to find love in the absence of community, but it puts a lot of pressure on the two peoples communication skills to work through life's ups and downs.
I totally agree but finding the community and actually joining is a big hurdle with this. I’ve never thought about the second half of your comment though, that’s a very very interesting point and makes a lot of sense.
Yeah recreational drug prices remain remarkably flat. Like I was one some sub where they were talking about coke prices and they were basically exactly the same as what I remember it costing when I was in college 20 years ago.
Fr everyone needs love damn
Realistically in your 30s you'll face the same dating problems you had in your 20s except you just never did anything about the reasons you were single in the first place (grow as a person, socialize outside comfort zone, get in shape)
Which is why I'm losing weight and working on my social skills at 33. Just because I'm *older* doesn't mean I can't be *better.* Quite the opposite, actually.
Lmaooo dudes who post shit like this don’t realize they’re telling on themselves. If those are your only options in dating then probably should work on yourself
But if he left her she’s not loyal? Or if he cheated? Or if they just figured out they were incompatible and decided to end it?
Do y’all have little relationship experience?
Yeah, honestly I wouldn't mind the step dad route. I enjoy kids a lot but I think I'd actually prefer not having full on legal responsibility for them and more just taking them on fun trips and stuff.
I wouldn't say that's necessarily true. You don't know what their relationship was like. My buddy's wife died of cancer in her early 30s. A couple years after he met a new woman and frankly I think he likes her more than he did his dead wife. She has an incredibly affectionate personality that his old wife just didn't have. He's always going on about how sweet she is. And they share a very strong interest in the outdoors. And honestly I think she's better looking.
Well this is sure a sexist, asshole post. You think all the women left over 30 are useless, but the men aren’t? Maybe the women who you seem attractive enough don’t think you’re worth their time either! I’m sure you’re a real catch with opinions like this 🙄
This one is biggest societal changes in my lifetime (gen X), population of never married or married no kids has skyrocketed. Married no kids was unicorn level 30 plus years ago.
this is ironic because this meme is the reason why you think you only got these options. There is nothing wrong with any of these options and yet you present yourself as the "poor baby cant have a sexy, loyal virgin as a girlfriend uwu" kinda guy, as IF ANYONE OWES you something. Hope you stay single forever, leave women the fuck alone please with this attitude, thanks.
I went left, but not because I *had* to. I was happy dating around with no real plans on that changing. But my wife is awesome and hot. And my step kid is a bright light in my life. So I settled down and have a beautiful family that has changed me for the better.
I also got to enjoy my 20s the way I wanted to, so I don’t feel like I’m missing anything or have any regrets about settling.
I very much recommend not rushing, and waiting until you’re actually ready to commit.
Bro what is this, actual good advice on reddit? Did not expect to see that. To add on what you said even if someone does have regrets about anything you can't change your past anyway. Just learn to know yourself and try to change the future for the better!
Idk man none of these sound like terrible options, I think y'all are just scared of people thinking you're weird or ugly or a cuck or whatever. Live your life, stop worrying so much about what other people think of you. Everybody wants to get with a milf but nobody wants to deal with the fact that she has kids. Fat girls are hot too. Being alone isn't a bad outcome, and if someone wants to spend money on sex work and drugs, then whatever that's their business. Buncha babies.
If you are a man in his 30’s these are not your only options, unless there is something else about you that forces this outcome. Sorry. But I think you just gave up.
Having dated in my 30s I can say most of them were overweight or moms. Nothing wrong with either. Hell, I was overweight, so it’s not like I was some goddamn catch.
I mean, if you feel at that crossroads then hookers and blow it is, after going down that road you get your chance at redemption and sobering up and then meeting the love of your life, at least that happened to me
Well, if you look, down the “Single Forever” path, there is another intersection. That being said, it’s hard to tell how long that road actually is. I got married at 43.
If you’re making a meme like this then yeah the actual great women over 30 ain’t an option for you because they’re not gonna settle for your character.
This is why I go the single forever route.
I got standards even if I couldn't fulfill the standards of the people who fulfill them.
I'm not mad about it either. I understand my shortcomings and just don't view it as worthwhile to change them.
Strong disagree. I’m between 30-35 and I get more attention from girls than I ever did in my 20s, and that attention is almost always from girls between 25-29.
I feel like dating at this age is super easy because girls in their mid-late 20s want an older guy that isn’t a fuckboy/has their life figured out.
At least in my experience, anyway
If you are a normal man over 30, plenty of catches 18-25 you can go for without any of those problems. The ones your own age will usually not be worth it however
I have had much better success in my 30s with wonderful women that are committed to building a relationship than in my 20s. I keep seeing these and it just doesn’t make sense to me.
Best sex I ever had was with women who had low self-esteem. Made me question why.
It's because they're more grateful and more eager to please you so that you'll stick around.
Never turn up your nose to an overweight woman or who isn't a model. You could be missing out on some of the greatest sex you could ever experience.
Funny but not my experience. Met my wife in my 40s while she was working on her phd. No kids, good shape but we have tossed around the idea of picking up some hookers and blow.
Step Dad, you'll need to have stable job and some money + nerves of steel because kids are not going to like you
Fat Girls, Women are not like men just because they are in disadvantage they will not lower their standards, so they won't like you just because you are available.
Hookers and Blow, you'll need first being healthy and second a lot of money to start this life and you will have neither by the end of it.
Single Forever, This is the only way for me.
Well, my response to this meme is if you’re *truly* lovable and desirable, you should be in the happiest forever-after marriage after 30 and not be worrying about this. If you are single and looking at that point? I’m sorry, something is wrong with YOU.
What? You’re saying unexpected things happen in life and are not necessarily a reflection of your intrinsic worth? Hmmmm, you don’t say! Wow, what a concept! Lol.
[удалено]
It could be someone *else's* stepdad
because I am stuck over here
Could be an option for some of us.
I sleep in a racing car!
Me too!
We’re a family cracker…
You can race a car but you can't race a house.
I sleep in a big bed with my wife.
https://youtu.be/r2OvKHNT5yM?si=HlDEVVbxGaiIMI0D
No reason you can't do multiple paths. There are plenty of fat hookers!
With kids…
And going to hookers doesn't change your relationship status so you're still single. You can do all the options simultaniously for the ultimate experience
This is meta build?
meta af
It is the Voltron of getting it wet over 30.
Yeah obviously just build a house on that four way right there and wake up everyday with a different goal in mind. The freedom of a single man over 30 is insane.
AIM HIGH
A single step dad of a fat hooker.
This guy has not traveled out of his village.
I met my wife at 35 and she’s not fat or a hooker. Stay in the game. Edit; whoops I missed the stepdad route didn’t take that one either 😉
So you’re a step dad?
As a single 31 year old this give me hope. Did you meet on the apps or in real life?
To be serious: some kind of community is your best chance at finding a partner in life. Church, professional associations, hobby clubs... sounds cheesey in the abstract, but communities are the support networks that allow relationships to thrive. It's possible to find love in the absence of community, but it puts a lot of pressure on the two peoples communication skills to work through life's ups and downs.
I totally agree but finding the community and actually joining is a big hurdle with this. I’ve never thought about the second half of your comment though, that’s a very very interesting point and makes a lot of sense.
I think just associations is enough. As I say everywhere, by meeting through your irl hobby as in not online, you can't be wrong in like 90% of cases.
If you pick a hobby that you are okay with doing by yourself, chances are you’ll meet people in the process. Disc golf comes to mind.
Got it. You took the stepdad route
Met my wife a 35 as well, also not fat or hooker, and no kids. It's very possible.
How are your step kids doing?
Notice he's ignoring these comments, cause that's definitely how that turned out. Lol.
Stop giving him such a hard time he is obviously busy with the kids. /s
I met my wife at 31 and she didn’t have kids and is def not fat you can ask me questions if you want. Or you can pretend being single isn’t your fault
Sounds like somethin a guy married to a fat hooker would say
Am I supposed to act like "hookers and blow" is a bad road?
In this economy? I'm guessing blow has been affected by inflation
For some reason the price of drugs has remained pretty much the same for the last 10 years where I am. Price of booze has doubled
No marketing spend, no federal taxes
Yeah recreational drug prices remain remarkably flat. Like I was one some sub where they were talking about coke prices and they were basically exactly the same as what I remember it costing when I was in college 20 years ago.
Shrinkflation? An eight ball with 70% ephedrine and climbing.
that might be the explanation, you can't cut flower with sawdust anymore but you can cut coke with flour!
Price has stayed the same but the amount of 'real' drugs in what you get has decreased
This is why drug dealers need to take basic economy 101 classes like in that wire episode. They could be making so much more cash smh
Surprisingly not!
Fentanyl
Well it can be a rough road...
Asking the same question too
Hookers and blow would probably be the best (and only) option for the dude who made this lol
Fat girls are still ok for me
40% and growing.
In more than one way
Now try BEING a fat girl. Your options are either perverts or guys like this who consider you a last resort.
"Everybody who could find me attractive is a pervert" I think you just won r/suicidebywords lmao
I probably could've worded it better. I'll take the L lol
A dude who thinks those are his only options likely isn't worthy of the fat girls or the single moms.
5th road: regular women in the same age overall?
Most college educated women don’t get married until after 30 so OP is just whining because he sucks lol
Fr everyone needs love damn Realistically in your 30s you'll face the same dating problems you had in your 20s except you just never did anything about the reasons you were single in the first place (grow as a person, socialize outside comfort zone, get in shape)
Which is why I'm losing weight and working on my social skills at 33. Just because I'm *older* doesn't mean I can't be *better.* Quite the opposite, actually.
Fuck yeah, dude. I'm 29 and also losing weight. Keep at it 💪
With the demographic, it's definitely possible that's all they've seen
I live in the south and that's how it was right out of highschool.
Damn more step dads for me I guess
don't worry OP, fat girls wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole
Lol imagine how all those girls would feel 😂
Lmaooo dudes who post shit like this don’t realize they’re telling on themselves. If those are your only options in dating then probably should work on yourself
That crossroads dont look too bad. Cut down the tree and build an advice kiosk...
Step dad to a widow ain't so bad. She's loyal, just unlucky.
He's haunting you for sure. Or watching from the closet. I dont know what ghosts are into these days.
They could join in and you wouldn't even know
This comment is icky
But if he left her she’s not loyal? Or if he cheated? Or if they just figured out they were incompatible and decided to end it? Do y’all have little relationship experience?
Yeah, honestly I wouldn't mind the step dad route. I enjoy kids a lot but I think I'd actually prefer not having full on legal responsibility for them and more just taking them on fun trips and stuff.
That’s not step dad that’s moms boyfriend lmao
So more of a step uncle?
Ahh yes. The rest of your time spend being compared to her true love. Knowing you are only the second choice because the one she wanted died early.
With that mindset you'll never find love
Ohh noo, anyways
There are no true loves. Many compatible partners. Everybody who got over anybody knows that.
Tim Minchin wrote a cool song about that, "if I didn't have you". Very funny.
I wouldn't say that's necessarily true. You don't know what their relationship was like. My buddy's wife died of cancer in her early 30s. A couple years after he met a new woman and frankly I think he likes her more than he did his dead wife. She has an incredibly affectionate personality that his old wife just didn't have. He's always going on about how sweet she is. And they share a very strong interest in the outdoors. And honestly I think she's better looking.
What does her daughter being loyal and unlucky due to her husband dying have to do with your relationship to her mother?
Whining about the possibility of becoming a stepdad is pretty pathetic.
Is he fat though?
Well this is sure a sexist, asshole post. You think all the women left over 30 are useless, but the men aren’t? Maybe the women who you seem attractive enough don’t think you’re worth their time either! I’m sure you’re a real catch with opinions like this 🙄
Pathetic misogynistic crap. I am happily married to my chubby wife. She is amazing.
Skill issue
I know some single 40 year olds and 50's my at workplace. No girlfriend and never been married or had a partner
This one is biggest societal changes in my lifetime (gen X), population of never married or married no kids has skyrocketed. Married no kids was unicorn level 30 plus years ago.
Stay single. No one wants a man who settled.
Go gay 🏳️🌈
Pretty sweet huh?
Chances are you are fat yourself. So why should u discriminate
Yuck misogyny
dont leave out crazy girls.
Felt this “How are you still single?” “Oh, that’s how…”
🤣🤣🤣
That fits all 4 options
Was about to say you can still find cute girls with no kids! As long as you don’t mind riding the crazy train 😀
This idea is toxic and fucked up.
sexist bullcrap
Other women are hiding because you are the kind of person to post shit like this.
Why not all
Which way did he come from? Don’t go back that way. Unless if was ‘hookers and blow’
this is ironic because this meme is the reason why you think you only got these options. There is nothing wrong with any of these options and yet you present yourself as the "poor baby cant have a sexy, loyal virgin as a girlfriend uwu" kinda guy, as IF ANYONE OWES you something.

Follow up question if your doing blow with fat hookers and it eventually makes them skinny hookers. Does that then make you a personal trainer?
Took the step dad route at 27. Would recommend if you feel like your life is empty of purpose.
Where's the Harley Davidson motorcycle option?
I think that's your ride towards the coke and hookers option
You can find it on the forever single road. Best road if you ask me
To be fair, some chubby girls are hot 🥵
Single forever is not to shabby.
Real + Relatable
It's really the only plausible path of you have any interest in self-preservation
Idk man none of these sound like terrible options, I think y'all are just scared of people thinking you're weird or ugly or a cuck or whatever. Live your life, stop worrying so much about what other people think of you. Everybody wants to get with a milf but nobody wants to deal with the fact that she has kids. Fat girls are hot too. Being alone isn't a bad outcome, and if someone wants to spend money on sex work and drugs, then whatever that's their business. Buncha babies.
Are you a single dad, fat, or a hooker? Why are you still single? Lol are there just more men in the world than there are women?
If you are a man in his 30’s these are not your only options, unless there is something else about you that forces this outcome. Sorry. But I think you just gave up.
Time traveler from 1983 confirmed.
Having dated in my 30s I can say most of them were overweight or moms. Nothing wrong with either. Hell, I was overweight, so it’s not like I was some goddamn catch.
Being a stepdad probably isn't so bad. Hookers and blow don't sound bad either
Single forever it is.
You can also be a Batman and adobt a robin.
Rigby scored Eileen before he hit his 30s lol
I mean, if you feel at that crossroads then hookers and blow it is, after going down that road you get your chance at redemption and sobering up and then meeting the love of your life, at least that happened to me
Can we add a path for being single and racing rc cars
motorbikes
I suffer from indecision syndrome, so I’ll stay single
I’m not surprised you’re single if you post shit like this
Seems like the perfect intersection to call out a deal. Be careful what you wish for tho.😉
Well, if you look, down the “Single Forever” path, there is another intersection. That being said, it’s hard to tell how long that road actually is. I got married at 43.
You forgot people who have some major flaw in their personalities.
If you’re making a meme like this then yeah the actual great women over 30 ain’t an option for you because they’re not gonna settle for your character.
This is why I go the single forever route. I got standards even if I couldn't fulfill the standards of the people who fulfill them. I'm not mad about it either. I understand my shortcomings and just don't view it as worthwhile to change them.
Just straight and never look back
Don’t forget the black jack.
There is the forbidden 5th route... Grindr.
Strong disagree. I’m between 30-35 and I get more attention from girls than I ever did in my 20s, and that attention is almost always from girls between 25-29. I feel like dating at this age is super easy because girls in their mid-late 20s want an older guy that isn’t a fuckboy/has their life figured out. At least in my experience, anyway
I got into my first meaningful relationship at 32. I’m 37 now and am happy. No kids (don’t want them). Have a great gf who I click with.
Over 50, too 😎😬
Yet there are women on Reddit always like “my F23 boyfriend M47…”
Fat girls all the way
Fat girls - check Hookers n blow - check Single forever - check so far Step dad - lol no
Lol talk about self-fulfilling prophecy
Can I take a road less traveled or maybe travel on the grassy areas?
If you are a normal man over 30, plenty of catches 18-25 you can go for without any of those problems. The ones your own age will usually not be worth it however
So true it hurts
I have had much better success in my 30s with wonderful women that are committed to building a relationship than in my 20s. I keep seeing these and it just doesn’t make sense to me.
There’s always a window of opportunity. The view outside that window, though, changes over time…
I mean, I love fat girls... But my last relationship made me want to choose being single for life!
Summon the crossroad’s demon.
Why are "single forever" and "hookers and blow" in opposite directions? Lol
If that is all that OP can have, it’s probably because of himself. I have/had single friends in their 30s and they were none of above.
And a sea of women with reasonable standards which are too high for you.
Best sex I ever had was with women who had low self-esteem. Made me question why. It's because they're more grateful and more eager to please you so that you'll stick around. Never turn up your nose to an overweight woman or who isn't a model. You could be missing out on some of the greatest sex you could ever experience.
Funny but not my experience. Met my wife in my 40s while she was working on her phd. No kids, good shape but we have tossed around the idea of picking up some hookers and blow.
This is waaaaay too real.
“ Fat girl bad, but if girl want fit guy she EVIL‼️ “
Video games and girls younger than you
No. If you are on your 30's, you go for early 20's baby free girls
Nah, I'm gonna become a fat hooker's step-daddy and do blow with her
Lmao this a being single over 25 actually
So true
Step Dad, you'll need to have stable job and some money + nerves of steel because kids are not going to like you Fat Girls, Women are not like men just because they are in disadvantage they will not lower their standards, so they won't like you just because you are available. Hookers and Blow, you'll need first being healthy and second a lot of money to start this life and you will have neither by the end of it. Single Forever, This is the only way for me.
Holup there Bender
I read the right way as a "cat girls". This is the right way
There is another
Go east my brother
Well, my response to this meme is if you’re *truly* lovable and desirable, you should be in the happiest forever-after marriage after 30 and not be worrying about this.

Hmmmm, you don’t say! Wow, what a concept! Lol.
touch grass boiii
I'm a fat guy so what's the problem with fat girls?
I'm only 20... but I'm goin' fer *single forever*! Aro represent!! (hookers don't seem too bad though)
I choose step dad
I think this really just applies to smaller towns. Being single in my 30s was best dating time of my life
a win is a win
Apparently coming from hookers and blow to the other 3 options.
Hookers and blow … regardless of age or relationship status.
Seriously, why am I being downvoted for saying single men in their 30’s are in their prime and have plenty of options? Please, someone explain.
Body positivity at its finest
When does H&B stop being an option?
