If you’re in your late 20s or early 30s and have ever navigated the world of dating apps, you know how exhausting it can be to sift through countless potential matches. But what if there were traffic lights to help guide you through the process? What if that guiding light is the one and only Jennifer Lopez?
In the latest episode of Tinder’s Love Sessions video series, Lopez gave 29-year-old country singer Brooke some valuable advice as she sorted through the app’s options. Brooke expressed her desire to find someone who makes “cutters,” and as she perused the profiles, Lopez shared some 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 establish their professional careers and attain financial stability, which in turn brings a sense of security to their lives. This journey towards maturity, influenced by accomplishments and experiences, usually occurs in their 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?”
