Oh yeah, and the marriage in your 20's thing is a regional thing. You want to meet alot of single women in their 30's, and you're in your 30's? Go to a city that's a bit more 'urban' than what you'd find in Alberta. Go to New York, San Francisco, Toronto... lots of girls there that focus on their careers in their 20's and then do the relationship thing in their 30's. Here in Calgary, it seems people tend to get married alot younger than other places. While this sucks, I've come to accept it. It is what it is, and you just deal with it.
Oh yeah, and I'd never do those dating sites. I just gather the confidence to approach women in person. Sure you get rejected, but I guarantee you that you don't ALWAYS get rejected - it only takes one to be receptive. Case in point - I'm planning on walking into the dental clinic across my office sometime this week and asking the cute hygenist out that I've made some eye contact with recently. Do I care if she's not interested or if she's in a relationship / married? No. I'm fully prepared to get rejected. But you'll never know if you don't try.

My best friend found his partner for life through a dating (Lava Life) site. She's a nurse at the Tom Baker Cancer Clinic and they are a perfect couple. They travel all over the world and are living the youth they wished they lived earlier. They both said it was great way to meet someone from the opposite sex, and an alternative to the bar scene.
