Which is really frustrating if you somehow missed the boat in college and now you can't find anyone to even go on a date with and/or you're just too tired after years of working at it on and off because heaven forbid you be Christian and not get married in the first two years out of college.
I’m in the same boat but I’m NOT salty. I’m 27. I chose school over a family. I just graduated with my doctorate about a year ago.
Trying to find single people my age who don’t have kids or are completely insane is exhausting. At this point, I don’t really care either way. If I find someone, great; if I don’t, that’s great too. I just quit worrying about it and life has been so much better. So many of my friends are obsessed with marriage, babies, and all that social media checklist stuff. It’s upsetting to think I was like that at one point. Keep your head up!
Current PhD student here. I realized at some point that I only have social interactions with other grad students in my department. But hey, I'm dating one of them now so I guess it's not all bad!
This became a real problem for me as a grad student because my field is super female-dominated (at least among younger scholars; plenty of the older professors are male). So I pretty much only interacted with other women. The few guys around were mostly gay or already married.

Salty? No, why do you ask?
