Men 30+ Perpetually Single for NY Times Relationship Feature

I’m researching an article on the experience of being perpetually single. I’m specifically looking to hear from men over 30 who feel they have not yet had a meaningful romantic relationship. I want to understand how your approach to dating has evolved, what you are now looking for in a partner, and how these experiences have shaped other areas of your life, such as family, friendship, career, and where you live. What do you feel like you’ve missed out on, and what have you gained? How do you think that being perpetually single has shaped you or how you approach your life?
