So me and a few friends have a little club which we call "Problemas con chicas". We talk about the latest snags we've had and I share my week's worth of texts from the younger office staff and reps who seem to think I'm flavour of the summer but are all immature and uninteresting. Got me thinking, where are all the late 20s, early 30s women? Here it's all 16-25 and 50+. I seem to remember a similar situation at home. Is it me? Do the rest of you experience the same conditions across the UK? I'm intrigued...

They're all attached. The older ones are all separated.

What he said. There are very few eligible interesting women around.

To be honest, It usually doesn't get to the point where I care whether they're interested or not. I have some genuine dating horror stories, honest. But I can't recount most of them without some form of Liquid Mood Enhancer. One of the less crazy ones was when a woman I met for lunch 'forgot to mention' she was married. Seriously. I asked her why she wasn't wearing her wedding ring and she said it was because it was too heavy. Jon

I find that pulling the landlady and never dating anyone else before that is the most effective way of meeting a quality lady.

This is going to sound all whiny and 'poor me', but I promise you it's not. I haven't met a single lady in the last 8 years that has interested me sufficiently to make any effort for. At the moment, I'm dealing with a crush on someone who's involved with someone else (my habitual problem, honestly, it's boring now). What's this got to do with anything? Simply, Oke, I'd make hay while the sun shines. Are you looking for a long time or for a good time? You're not going to be there forever, so if you have no intention of something serious then something fun's order of the day, I'd have thought. Frankly, I wouldn't mind having a bevy of mid-twenty somethings knocking at my door. So quit your whinging.

And, from my experience, most of the single ones in that age range are single for a darned good reason! I've been burned by a couple who escaped from therapy!
But I finally found somebody who was down to earth and past to me.

Perhaps the girls you are missing just choose not to go to Lanzargrotty. Maybe they are a demographic you should be advertising and catering to.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Some of the ones I've been after must've escaped from Broadmoor. Chuffin mental they were.

Yes I have a friend who is a bunny boiler magnet. I cannot remember how many crazies he has dated. Okay the amnesia might be a factor but definitely double figures.
