Demographics of gamers show most are in their 30s and surprisingly split pretty evenly between men and women.

That is surprising on the even split.
Women are statistucally more likely to be "casual" gamers, and more likely to play games on mobile.
I admit that I very casually have about 600 hours in Snowrunner at the moment, and my wife has very casually completed The Witcher 3 about 500 times.
I have a family, a job I love, and I still play video games.
Believe in yourself.
Damn, this hits hard in your mid 30s.
There's nothing wrong with gaming as a hobby.
But if it's your only hobby, maybe branch out a bit? Especially if you're single. Great way to meet people and form bonds over like interests.
I don't know anyone who's only hobby is gaming who isn't single. Admittedly, my sample population is kinda skewed, but of that group I don't know anyone with a few varried hobbies who is single either.
Unless you're happy being single. No joke that's perfectly valid too.
"grown old" Never will I stop gaming. No matter my position. No matter my status.
