Personally I think age is not an issue if one still open to date. Yes there are people that like older and there are also people that like younger. It just a matter of preference. Why want to compare? Whether you're male or female, you also can pursue someone else. Now a days, I believe if one does not take the initiative, then it your loss.

Best is open up and meet more people, who know one day you met your fate one?

Fertility thingy, I believe this is something in between for the couple. Whether you decide to have children now or not, seriously it doesn't really matter. People will change, this is for sure. My wife just 1 year younger than me and we get married at the age 28. She decided to not have kid, but she suddenly have a mindset change and we have our first kid at age 35.

I also met a couple around mid 40 - 50 I guess, at confinement centre. They did 3 times of IVF (if not mistaken) in order to get pregnant and succeed at the last chances of IVF. I also have friend that decided not to have kid ever since secondary school! They did get married and now live happily with a dog and still don't want to have kid.

To TS, why not take the initiative on that analyst guy you mention? Not to rush thing, but to get a general idea whether you should continue wait or not.

I encourage TS not to give up hope in the love life, whether you're in 30s 40s or even 50s! Love can happen at any age or time. It just happen differently for everyone and in different way too. No harm to be a success career women.
