I agree that not every older dude out there is a curmudgeon

There are a lot of blk men and women who made it to their 30s unscathed but were focused on getting their lives together and didn't devote a lot of time to romantic pursuits.
There are also people who got married and divorced b/c sometimes life doesn't work out like that.

Those types can be really cool but it's harder to find those and many tend to be really set in their ways and become arrogant the older they get and their standards become stricter. The longer they live on their own, the less likely they are going to be amenable to the social factors that it takes to make a relationship work like compromise, reciprocity, communication skills.
One of my guy friends is like this. Everybody always asks us, "why ya'll not together?", "why ya'll not fukking?", "he fine! He made of money!"
Personally for me he is too unreasonable and set in his ways. Bless his heart, he is an egomaniac. Constantly HYPERCRITCAL of anything with a vagina but completely oblivious to his own flaws. Complains daily about everything, is arrogant in an almost innocent way, is quick to tell anybody what they are doing wrong but doesn't have a self-reflective bone in his body. So he attracts them but chicks cant stand him beyond a month tops.
Crazy thing is he makes good money, in shape, should be enjoying life but he's damn near Incel status and constantly butt hurt as to why some of his less good looking friends have settled down and have families. I'm the only one he will listen to but I don't have the patience to deal with 7th grade personalities in grown ass men. But that is sometimes what you get in older dudes too. They can be just as immature but try to cover it up with their age.
The thing is, like the African proverb says, what you don't have now you WONT have in your old age. Developing good social skills is something people do as they grow up. Thinking you will magically improve once you hit a 1/3 of your life is unreasonable. A lot of people just get older...not better.
Meanwhile in our community with all the shyt we face, sometimes it takes 30+ years for us just to get our feet on the ground. Personally I don't find it strange or weird for older dudes to get with young chicks...I think it's natural and shouldn't be any shame attached to it. People just need to be realistic.
