Brother and sis in law spent almost over $35k. Actually worked the 3rd and final time doing the process and they had a healthy boy. Then a year later got pregnant naturally again and had a healthy girl

Frozen eggs, adoption, surrogacy, etc. And the fertility, infant mortality rates, and newborn complication statistics have been more favorable every year for older and older women due to science and nutrition.

It's 2024. Older women have options.

Well...yeah.

32+ is my upper limit. Dating + engagement + marriage + pregnancy = < pregnancy risk age

they dont understand how they got that sweet life of theirs, relying on men to do the violence and build the infrastructure..

Trade and economic reasons are why war isn't as popular today. Women are part of that system.

This somewhat plays into something I was going to say earlier when I was joking about the "move to Youngsville" stuff. Our standard of living will decline if we adopt all of these societal policies promoted ITT. Men can't do all the tertiary and quaternary work necessary to keep our economy humming at this level. It's a simple numbers game. Also, these economies will be centered around major urban areas.

This is a very big "be careful what you wish for" scenario

My thought process is neither mean or selfish. Men and women are on different timelines and I didn't make the rules. It's reality and more people (women) should accept it/go along with it instead of fighting it and/or being mad about it.


Biology is biology, and as much as some people want to say we have evolved in some way, we really haven't. At your age, you have to date intentionally with your relationship/family goals in mind. There's nothing wrong with that at all. In fact, it's normal.

Or society does not match education and humanity. We keep pushing back the average age of marriage, but truthfully, women need to start having their babies in their 20's, for the most part. But, muh career.

A pregnancy after age 35 is a geriatric pregnancy! A woman is considered to be at advanced maternal age. We can want this to be different, but it's not.

You roll your eyes, but economically how many families today can legitimately maintain a comfortable household with just one income? I imagine in most of the South the mean is below $100k.

Society has also forced women to work to maintain a specific standard of living for a middle class family of four.

Mother Nature always wins.

It takes energy to raise children and that's why Mother Nature wanted women between the ages of 13 and 29 to have babies, it takes energy that a 50 year old woman usually does not have.

Also women are jealous. Ever been in a crowded room of women and one has a new born ?

There is a woman on YouTube named Pearl who does videos off women who deal with these issues. Some are interesting. Many women want everything with little or no effort given. No investment.

I need to copy all of the statistics that I’ve already posted in this thread so I can just repost them when new people jump in.

These dating threads go on for pages.

It’s no secret that women are checking out of kids for longer and longer. Many are freezing eggs. My wife has 3 single friends in their late 30s/40s. They aren’t bad looking, have great jobs but I can’t remember any of them having a serious BF.

They actually complain there’s not enough men out there. What they mean is “men up to my standards.” I believe they’re all gonna be rich old maids which maybe they’re really ok with.

Sure. Just seeing some folks applying this across the board and it’s not really applicable.

For all the complaints of women having children with shitty men, you should probably be encouraging women to have standards.

wife and I both make excess of $100k a year and have gotten to a point where if one of us were to lose our job that we could tread water, completely flat broke on a single income. But that would require uncomfortable concessions until we were both employed again.

Projecting the current trajectory, this appears to be the future regardless.

Much of society hasnt kept pace with the speed of the techno economy. Not just digital talent, but the rank and file American.
