There is an increased risk of multiple different genetic defects,
not sure if its protocol nationally but the OB ordered genetic testing to look for abnormalities during gestation because my wife was over I think 32yo

ETA: which ended up telling us we were having another knucklehead boy several weeks before an ultrasound

The "Liberal" and the ghostly white legs bother me more than the "Want someday"

I think something like 10% of births are women 40 and older now. Used to be 1%


In short: No.
Of all live births in the United States during 2019-2021, 4.4% were to women under the age of 20, 46.7% were to women ages 20-29, 45.4% were to women ages 30-39, and 3.6% were to women ages 40 and older.

Twenty years ago, it was 2.4% -- a substantial climb, but nothing approaching 5%, let alone 10%.

How many sugar babies can you mate in one day? At the same time? Maybe set some kind of Guiness record. Be creative. ??

You rarely see DS kids anymore. Most everyone terminates those pregnancies now. Fetus would go straight to heaven if God is real and we aren't living in a simulation.

I mean at the same time I feel bad for them. Modern feminism told them they don't need a family and it's all about work, work, work. Now, here they are halfway through their life with neither boyfriend/husband nor children.



And I'm sure a bunch regret it and endure a more stressful period trying to have kids than they should. Others become bitter about it.

That said, it's not all just lefty women and feminism, although there are trickle down impacts. Plenty of normal traditional couples these days get sucked into waiting around and building a life. Go to grad/professional school, don't start seriously dating until late 20s/early 30s. Marry. Spend some time building a life and traveling since you probably have more resources, and suddenly you're over 35 and high risk as a category.

Even urban professionals and feminism aside, think the culture pushed normal people away from marrying young and now there is a pendulum swing because it went too far. In our circles it's amazing how common it is to see the same pattern. I think golden retrievers and fertility clinics are the biggest benefactors.

There can be many many reasons. Maybe they don't want to have one, but are open to kids. I don't know dating profiles, so are there any options for just open to kids?

Absolutely. After reading the “there are no women left” thread I don’t see a problem with a single attractive woman this age thinking she’d still like to have kids even though that window is closing rapidly.

The “liberal” piece notwithstanding …would you rather take a chance with her or some 40 yr old with multiple kids? I don’t have a problem with either at my age but don’t see all the vitriol for this woman that dared to check “maybe someday” in the drop down menu.


The vast majority of men don't who are in that age group have no interest in starting a family and having babies. An attractive 40 year old is free to want babies till her heart is content but the simple fact is that for the vast majority of then it's just not in the cards. It's a completely unrealistic desire even for the best of them.

Whelp, you’ve got it all figured out. I’m guessing you’ve communicated this to the world powers.

Must be a burden to be all-knowing……

True, but men that opt out are being rational since most physical and financial liabilities fall on men for the most part. Women who chose this eventually become liabilities to the state.
Most of these women voted for pro inflationary, globalist trade, high tax, anti family/marriage, and education policies that caused this so they're responsible for it for the most part.



We're men, we have a responsibility to step in and stop the madness.

It's not men who are causing these problems for the most part though. To be honest though, if men collectively quit cut these women off financially then it will end tomorrow but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Until then, best thing to do is to marry when you're young (if you're lucky, marry foreign, or avoid it altogether to protect yourself. Voting for pro family policies and not spoiling your daughters would have a lot of long term positive impacts too.


I will once again remind you how many men on this here website can't tell their wife they want to go to a football game or watch it on tv in their own home.

In real life, a lot of men don't much but complain about women who make more than them say they want kids later in life.

It is what it is.

Late 30s dating with no kids - vilified. Late 30s dating with kids - vilified bc what’s worse than a single mom? Seems the no-kid having ones would be more fun to date.
