[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hell no. Men can have babies forever.

I never see men settle-the exception are cultural/religious where the parent is putting tremendous pressure on the son—but most don’t care.

They can have babies for longer but the number of fertile women who want to have babies with some old man is small and getting smaller. Really rich guys will always be able to find someone willing to sign up for that chore in order to get a big payoff but otherwise -- good luck. Women can have babies on their own now if they want.

Also for most men there are many reasons to marry someone in your general age group before the typical fertility window closes for women -- emotional, social, status. Just like for women, marriage for men operates like a seal of approval from society -- this one is good enough to pass on his genes. You can wait until your 50s or 60s to try and get that approval but you do so at your own risk and you also wind up being "the old dad" and the "old DH" and except in a few very narrow circles (again: very rich ones) this is status-lowering.

So men make their compromises too. Everyone is on the clock to some degree or another.[/quote]
