What a save
As a 60 year old man that dates women in their mid-30s (I want children), I feel this post-it note.

Respect for saying this outlook.

But also just a bit yikes, but credit for not going younger than 30s

Ehhh…it breaks the half-plus-7 rule (I’d call 37 ‘late 30s’)…but it beats 20s. I’m only forty and I can barely relate to my 20-something BILs. I couldn’t imagine dating someone in their 20s, and not just because I’m happily married. The culture gap is so real. I could relate to X so much more than Z.

Still…even mid-30s doesn’t give much time to plant the seed before you have to worry about the first frost…

Also seems kinda cruel having a kid knowing you’ll statistically die before they even graduate high school.

If he met someone today and had a kid by 61 by the time that kid graduates high school he’d be 79.

My dad was 52 when I was born. Getting real tired of developing chronic conditions that are associated with advanced paternal age, ngl.
