To be perfectly honest, when I was 26 I wasn't very successful--I wasn't in the same situation per se, but I didn't have a degree, worked a dead-end job, and didn't have much going on. It made me frustrated that men my age who were professionals didn't want to date me, but I get it. Now that I've worked in my chosen field for over a decade and have finally completed my degree in that time I get it even more. It's not really anything against someone specifically, but I've worked hard and against some pretty significant circumstances to be where I'm at. I think I'd get on best with someone who has similar life experience, that's all.
