[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a man wants kids or even might want kids, he'd be foolish to date a 38 year old. Op, you ought to separate-out the two issues. Know IF you want kids -- and if you do, make it happen solo. That's the priority here. Second issue (separate) is letting a good partner/marriage relationship happen, if it happens

Unless you already have kids?[/quote]

That’s not entirely true. I met several men when dating in my 40s who were looking for a life partner in the first place. Being a dad was secondary. Men are not as “paternal” as women. Compatibility matters the most for them in all areas. And the men shared they wouldn’t oppose medical technologies  or adoption if their partner is too old to have kids naturally
What they did share was negative experience with women in late 30s who rushed them to marry and have kids  [/quote]

This. People WAY overestimate how much men want kids. Most are fine with no kids, step kids, adopted kids, IVF, surrogates, whatever.[/quote]

Depends on the man.  Some men of my generation are driven to be great fathers, and they only want biokids.  My brother is like this - he's like a tiger dad, if that is a thing.  No way he'd do step kids or no kids, but I'm sure he would've been fine with IVF or surrogates if medically needed.  These men are usually married younger because they know they want to be dads. DH, not sure he would've cared.  He would've been fine with any of those options. [/quote]
