If you’re in your late 20s or early 30s and you’re navigating the world of dating apps, you know how exhausting it can be to sift through countless potential matches. But what if there was a guiding light to help guide you through this process? What if that guiding light is the one and only Jennifer Lopez?
In a recent episode of Tinder’s “Swipe Sessions” video series, Lopez provided invaluable advice to Brooke, a 29-year-old country singer, as they sifted through her options on the app. Brooke expressed her desire to find a man who could “chop wood,” and as they swiped through profiles, Lopez shared some insightful dating wisdom.
“Guys, until they’re 33, are really useless,” Lopez boldly stated.
While this statement might seem harsh, there is some truth to it. According to relationship expert Jane Greer, author of “What About Me? Stop Selfishness From Ruining Your Relationship,” Lopez’s advice holds weight, especially if you are seeking commitment.
Men often need time to build their professional careers and achieve financial stability, which in turn brings stability to their lives. This journey to adulthood, influenced by achievements and experiences, usually occurs in the early 30s. However, this does not mean that men in their 20s should be barred from entry. But it helps explain why some men experience sudden changes in their behavioral skills after they turn 30.
Greer further explains, “Sometimes you see a guy who’s been in several relationships, but then, in his early 30s, suddenly he meets a woman and is ready to marry her.”
While Jennifer Lopez’s advice may not apply to everyone, one thing is certain: knowing your worth and having standards that align with it never hurt anyone. So, the next time you find yourself swiping on a dating app, ask yourself, “What would Jennifer Lopez do?”
