[0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=10) And I'm slowly starting to believe that it will never happen because of, I, I'm losing, I'm losing faith in dating. [0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=19) Or just, I mean, I'm on the apps, I put myself out there, um, and it's just, it's abysmal. I mean, I don't wanna date where I'm from because, you know, one, um, I live in a red state, and I have very blue belie- you know, [0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=39) very, you know, blue beliefs. And I, you know, too many people in this state wear the MAGA hat. [0:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=45) And they want kids, they want a f- you know, the men here want a family. [0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=49) Of course they do because they don't have to take care of them. [0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=51) Um, and the pool, the dating pool here is just ... [1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=60) Hell has better options than where I live. So I go outside of my state to date. [1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=68) Also because I'm very, very worried that I may end up dating or marrying someone I'm related to, you know, very distantly, but that's a whole nother story. [1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=78) I can't even attract my type, and my type is skinny and scrawny nerds. [1:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=83) I mean, it, the... I mean, it's, I, I'm hopeless. I, I feel so hopeless because the only men that really meet my standards are one, Min Yoongi from BTS, and two, a host of fictional characters who are, who just... [1:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=105) I don't know. It's, this, I feel so hopeless. I feel like I'm going to be single forever when all my friends got married in their 20s and all, all have like their second or third kid by now. [2:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=120) Do I want kids? No. But that's just, that's just the point I'm trying to make is that, you know, they've been married for a while, and you know, they met when they were in their 20s, and I never got that. [2:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=130) I never had a relationship in high school. I never got to experience that. [2:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=133) And I don't know. I, I don't know if I'm ever going to experience falling in love and maybe getting married one day. I don't know. [2:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=142) It's, it's so hopeless out here. Like every time I swipe on a guy, you know... [2:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=151) Am I ugly? Is that, is that the whole issue? [2:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=153) Like, 'cause if that's the issue, I need someone to tell me because that way I can take myself off the dating apps and resort myself to just being a, a spinster for the rest of my life. [2:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=163) Like I can't even, I'm not my type's type. [2:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=165) You know, I hear that a lot, and it's true. I'm not my type's type. [2:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=168) And I just, I, I, I need to know that if anybody else is having the same issues just dating in general and living in a small town and not being attracted to anyone around you except when you go outside of st- outside your state. [3:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=186) Um, and just feeling hopeless that the dating scene is never gonna change because even if you do match with someone, half the time they don't even ask questions about you. [3:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=198) You're the one holding the conversation. [3:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=200) And finally you get tired of it, and you, you unmatch and you th- and I think that, I think what if that's the only match I ever get? [3:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=208) You know, what if that's the only guy that ever matches with me? [3:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=210) Because all the other guys that swipe on me are just... [3:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=214) Oh, God. Um, so yeah. This is, this is my little rant about how I feel hopeless about dating, dating in your 30s. Um, I don't even know if I can call it dating in my 30s 'cause I haven't even been on a date. [3:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=230) It's, it's rough out here. Check on your single friends because it, it's, it's worse than hell. [3:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=239) So yeah. [4:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=243) It's gotta get better, right? It, it's gotta get better. [4:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/9eRCQiIhgY8r/en/30-and-never-dated-feeling-hopeless-about-finding-love?t=249) Yeah
