If ur 30+ you can have romantic moments with women, which is nice.
Don’t limit the guy. He can have romantic moments with men, too.
Regardless of gender, your 30s is a perfect time to date cute single people who just finished their first divorce.
Romance is different when you’re both old enough to have so much life experience under your belt. It isn’t the same. Not saying it’s better or worse, but it’s absolutely different.
Sometimes I have romantic moments all on my own.
Well, if anon thinks he is too late at 30+ years, it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I don’t know if this helps, but I didn’t meet my wife until I was in my forties. You have time.
But I’m guessing she wasn’t your first relationship?
Correct, but the other ones sucked
What d about fifties? Asking for a friend …
Obviously you are completely alone in your fifties being single, everyone else is in happy relationships.
If the sarcasm wasn’t clear, it’s literally never too late.
I had a friend during nurse training who divorced at 50, thought she was never going to be in another relationship, then met someone with whom she was happier than she ever imagined.
It’s definitely possible.
People can get married to the right person in their 20s or 30s, change into different people, split up and find that someone else is now the right person.
You also get access to a much larger widow/widower market once you pass 50…
As @Num10ck@lemmy.world said: it’s never too late to start being lovely.
As long as you’re alive and capable of communicating, it’s possible.

…here we go with the impossible standards.
What can I say? I’m high maintenance 🤷😁
It’s never, never too late. I’ve seen men aged 60-75 get GFs and wives. One of them even had children with his new wife. Talk of the town is that one of these men never had a partner before.

At 30+ my romantic relationships are far more personal and romantic then any relationship I had in my 20’s…
Well you had relationships in your 20s though?
No-one expects their dick to just drop off on their 30th birthday until it happens.
Nothing triggers my depression more than seeing happy couples
depression, not aggression
…but thanks for the meme, I chuckled
It takes a lot of work and compromise. You are getting one glance at a lifetime.
I got married sorta recently. My biggest hold-up was the fact that the most optimal outcome of marriage was this: I was going to spend the remainder if my life making them happy, always being there, and being an essential part of their existence, and when they need me most, in their golden days, near the end, they’re gonna have to hold my hand and watch me fucking die.
I told them this before I proposed, and the crazy thing was, they were still all for it.
30 is too old to date a girl, yes. Not too old to date a woman though.
Yup, my brother married a wonderful woman when he was in his late 30s. They’ve been married >5 years and they still seem happy.
I’ve known people who found love much later as well. It’s never too late OP.
If you insist on it being a girl, then yeah, it’s too late. Adult relationships have their own brand of sweet and romantic.
I spent most of my 20s alone, and met the woman I married at age 33. It’s never too late.
Meh, it can be easy to feel like that. But take a moment to look at all the songs, movies, poems, and books about people who felt this way since the begining of time and know you’re not alone :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovoBi3pXD_A
He needs to switch from romance animes to hallmark romance Christmas movies
decide to write a manga
Lol relatable haha
Time to buy a rope
Everyone complaining about the gross vibes of the post, which like yeah, true. But also even within the framing of the post itself it’s just bad. The second and third lines are basically “realise X”. The third line adds nothing of value to the original OP’s intent.
What gross vibes?
Don’t lump the guy in with incels. He’s not blaming other people for his problems, or complaining. He’s just lamenting. I don’t see anything in his post that’s gross. Leave a lonely dude alone. God forbid he let himself feel sad for 5 seconds.
Sure, but why are you directing that at me? The point of my comment was to point out that that wasn’t the main thing of note in the OP.
I take you at your word that that was your intention, but it doesn’t read that way. It comes off with a tone of mockery and hostility.
The tone was like that mainly because it was being dismissive of what was already the majority of other comments in this thread. It was essentially “hey, you guys are all saying this, but here’s another perspective.”
You’re literally the only person talking about “gross vibes” I can see in this thread. And you said “yeah, true” which to me indicates that you also think there was something gross about the post.
Might be related to some fediverse defederation stuff.
Here are some of the comments I was referring to:

All I was doing was saying yeah, they raise a good point, but not the main problem that I noticed with this post, which is just that it uses the meme format badly.
It feels a little ridiculous that we’ve gotten 6 comments deep into this, but…
None of those comments make any claims about poster. 2 of them are pedantic jokes in the “Can I use the bathroom?/I don’t know, can you?” school of ignoring colloquial usage, and one is what I assume is a well-intentioned legitimate caution about not getting caught in a cyclical spiral of self-defeatism.
As to the meme format, a green text can be anything from an epic 50+ post story about faking an IT job, to a single line about hating one’s name, to threatening a cartoon cat, so I’m not sure what template format it’s violating. If you don’t think it’s particularly well-written or interesting, that’s fine of course, but just say that.
