Very simple thread for the most part.

3 Questions

1.)How do you personally define a successful person in the dating/mating context?
2.) Do you consider yourself a success?
3.) By your definition do you think the majority of people are successful? And Does it depend on the age range? For example are people in their 20's more likely to be "successful" by your defintion then people in their 40's? What about by gender?

Ill have my answer later.

1. Someone who can usually find people who they feel are compatible with and has dates with those people which might lead to a relationship.
2. Nope. Not remotely successful.
3. I think most people are successful, and it doesn't depend on age, but I think people who are entering or are in college have a better chance to find like-minded people because of the mass of students.

1.common interests = success. If your into fishing and outdoors and so is the other person it's success.
2. With the correct person. Compatablility, similar interests.
3. Idk. I do know as we mature we tend accept people for who they are not try and change them into something we want them to be.

1.) We have a good time for a while.
2.)Sometimes, not always.
3.) Depends on their definition of success.

Mutual respect and long lasting.
Not yet.
Every age has their success and failure stories.

Ok for me

1. Success IMO is the ability to consistently pull people you're attracted to and get whatever you want out of those situations. For example if I want something casual with the girls I'm attracted to, I can get that. But at the same time if I want a relationship, I can get that as well. But for example, If a woman can get guys she's attracted to interested, but wants a relationship and can't get that she's not successful in my eyes.

2. Yes under my terms i consider myself successful. I've always been able to attract women I like throughout my life. Right now I'm dating a great girl I met a few months ago and things are awesome. At the same time when I was single and didnt want a relationship I was able to get casual sex from women I was interested in.

3. To be honest no, because my definition Isnt strictly "just being in a relationship" of just "getting sex" which many people say is "success". There are many people who technically have someone but aren't happy with the person they're going home to, Then there's the whole settling thing. My definition doesn't depend on age, but younger people are more attractive then older ones so that would obviously help in terms of pulling the people they truly desire when they're at their physical best. However I think they're more successful people over 30-35 then people in their 20's when it comes to relationships.
