- All controls available, officers 46.6% less likely to discharge firearms before being attacked if suspect is black.
- Black officers are more likely to shoot unarmed whites, relative to white officers.
- Blacks are 21% less likely to report voluntary interaction with police than whites.
Any actually good prime day deals to grab?

OP - I was 25 and thinking the same thing. I hadn't dated in several years and struggled meeting guys that were decent human beings. And then suddenly, out of the blue, I met my BF at a random friends gathering that happened to be a friend of a friend. Was totally not expecting it and I was about to give up on dating. But we started talking and hit it off, and now we will probably get engaged in the next year or so. Don't give up hope - anything can happen at any point in time. It may not be soon but there are plenty of options out there. I think I spent a lot of my single time being depressed and worrying, that when I got in a relationship I regretted not doing more things I liked to do in my free time before I got in a relationship. So enjoy the single time that you have now, because you never know when it could change forever!
Gurlllllll. There’s nothing wrong with being alone and there’s also nothing wrong with being with someone. Chin up! You’re a catch! Find joy in the little things and within yourself. Being in a relationship or not being in a relationship shouldn’t define you. You got this!
Just because you may fee that way does not mean everyone would. People are attracted to all different types.
There are “types” that a statistically larger percentage of the population is attracted to but it is not a binary on off switch.
Also please please please do NOT believe everything that’s on social media. Marriage doesnt guarantee happiness. Not everyone who’s dating/married is happy. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship for 4 years, but our pictures and my insta feed was picture perfect.
On the same boat OP and I’m 27 :(
Girl same!! I’m 28... I’m starting to feel like working so hard for my career has been a mistake 😩
Once you stop looking is when you’ll find it. Just relax and be open minded about things and take them as they come, but also don’t be afraid to pursue something if you find it
Engagement and marriage is not an accomplishment nor something you HAVE to do by a certain age. Once you meet the right person then you both will know. You can be 26 or 56. You rather marry what society calls “late” than marry the wrong person and say you’re married.
So what if you’re alone? Being married isn’t the end all be all of life. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look but be happy who you are.
34/M and perfectly happy being alone. To each their own but chose your path to make you happy not be like everyone else.
you're 26, go live your life and do things that make you happy and you'll naturally find someone that enhances that. be your own happiness, if someone else enhances it then fantastic
Agree with PWC2. It’s like 20-40k. Not to mention they pump you with hormones that make you crazy before harvesting the eggs.
you will not be alone forever and feel happy seeing others getting married/engaged.

Have you tried hinge or tinder? What city are you in?
Definitely recommend hinge!
Are you doing things to meet people? If you’re only at work or at home then you should do something regular to get out.
I’m really outgoing so I get invited to a bunch of house parties where I meet cool guys. Most of the inviters are women who I really hit it off with so having a wide circle of friends helps a lot! I also had friends set me up with single guy friends of theirs - these friends of friends are usually nice and interesting. So maybe consider putting it out there that you’re looking.
Are you trying online dating? A couple friends have met their SOs on Tinder, and another friend really liked Coffee Meets Bagel. I tried it as well and found in-person chemistry to be way different from online chemistry, so I felt like it was very discouraging at times, but I also had some great dates from online dating.
I mean, even if you don’t have a wide circle of friends, letting your good friends know you’re looking for an SO and getting set up on double dates helps you meet more people!
33 and recently single and have never loved my life more. I know i’ll find the right man, until then, busy loving myself and being the best version of me i can be.
