So you hit 40. Congratulations! Or maybe you passed that particular milestone a few years ago. Youve reached a summit in lifeup here the land looks different while strangely remaining the same.

What to do?

You still love women. You dont want to throw in the towel. You got into game, pickup, years ago, and it feels just a little bit immature to you now. Maybe youre married, or in a long-term relationship with a girlfriend. Perhaps youve had a kid or two. Life has taken on new dimensions since your twenties. You have a serious job. You work many hours to earn decent money. People rely on you. You have responsibilities.

If you have a girlfriend, maybe youre wondering Should I leave her and give playing the field another shot? If youre married, maybe youre heading towards divorce. Perhaps youre already there. In that instance you want to know what your options are with girls.

It could be that youve had a few relationships but remained a bachelor like I have, not having met anyone youve been inclined to marry. Perhaps youre worried about the risks of marriage for men these days, or simply keen to spend as much of your sexual market equity as possible in the time you have available to you.

Whatever your situation, you fear obstacles. The dating scene has changed. Meeting people is different. Back when you were at university it was a case of grabbing a beer and hitting on the nearest girl in the club. There are multiple dating apps these days: Twitter, Bumble and Happn. There are social media platforms: Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook and so on. Messaging services are newWhatsApp, Telegram, FaceBook Messenger. Remember when you had to pick up the phone and actually call a girl?

The cultural climate has also seen radical change. If you were young in the UK in the 1990s youll recall the rise of lad culturebasically a proliferation of magazines such as Loaded , FHM , Zoo , and bands like Oasis, and Blur. It was a time when we all got high on cigarettes, alcohol and cocaine, when lads were lads and birds were birds.

Although a lot of that laddishness was intended as ironic at the time, these days it has all-but been swept away by a tide of political correctness and feminism. It would appearfrom the mainstream media at leastthat if you even open a door for a woman these days you risk being outed on Twitter as a vile, sexist pig.

Maybe youve been dating women all the way through these changes, as I have. In that case you will be aware that on the ground things havent changed quite as much as one might fear. If so, you will no doubt be glad of a fellow-journeymans testimony. Another voice out there in the dark, whispering around the campfire, telling you how hes doing it.

But if youve been out of the game for some time, like many men in their 40s, then all of this will naturally be intimidating and new to you. To compound the problem, the women you are primarily attracted to havent changed much since you were in college. You still pause online to look at pictures of the twenty-four year-old swimwear model because, well, shes hot. Being nearly twice her age, and old enough to be her father doesnt change that. This makes you somewhat uncomfortable, since society and the culture tends to demonize men who date younger women. This despite the fact that many girls like older guys, and biologically it is entirely natural for men to want to be with girls who are fertile, healthy and capable of bearing children. Like it or not, that means those who are still youthful.

The good news, though, is that your taste palette for women has also widened. Now, girls all through their thirties look great to you too. In the past, the thought of dating a 35 year-old would perhaps not have appealed greatly (unless you are one of those guys into MILFS, which I never really have been). This is a huge benefit to the player, since it means that his options are broader than when he was younger. Personally, the pool of women I date now is huge compared to twenty years ago. Right now, I am meeting regularly with both a 22-year-old girl and a 35-year-old. Both are sexy and fun, and I enjoy my time with them equally.

Nevertheless, age is an important factor to keep in mind, since the key issues players in their 40s face are not so much logistical as they are psychological. In other words, it is not that game techniques have changedattraction is still attraction whatever age the girl happens to be. Rather, a man in his forties must effectively deal with psychological and social constraints if he is to be successful.

Much of this comes down to social conditioning. There is nothing intrinsic within us that makes us think Oh, I shouldnt talk that girl or I shouldnt be dating her. The real concern is not that we think we are doing something wrongwe know objectively that we arent. What we are actually worried about is how other people may view what we do. These other people include parents, siblings and friends, as well as random strangers in the street.

As if that wasnt enough, we face another layer of worry. This is the much-dreaded smear of kidulthood, or of being a man-child. These terms may be relatively new, but the prejudice they barely conceal is not. For centuriesperhaps throughout all of the history of the West, the bachelor has been regarded with suspicion. Go back to the 1950s and before, the unmarried man always came in for strong suspicion that he was secretly gay. In a way, this was just a way of casting the guy who hadnt managed to secure a wife or raise a family as unmanly in some way; effeminate. These days, of course, homosexuality is rightly accepted and mainstream. Most people would draw the line at the imputation that a bachelor is secretly gay. If a man is gay and unmarried then so what? Thats his business.
