From an actually selfish selfish point of view “more romantic partners” only makes sense for rather large age gap relationships for us, specific already existing people who are old enough to be discussing this. Assuming we are wanting someone somewhat close to our age, it’s too late.
(Well close is potentially more complicated with full transhumanism, ie mind emulations messing with perception of time. And a 100 year age gap might be “close” in a society of immortals.)
From the perspective of a future individual, ie evaluating by a sort of average utilitarianism, It’s not clear whether it’s better for people to exist in serial or parallel. At the same time or one after the other.
