[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's because of fertility but I think that perception is changing rapidly due to the recent studies on health risks to babies when fathers are older.  The view before was that men can have kids when they're in their 40s but now people are scared of autism, etc. so male and female fertility is evening out.[/quote]

Nice try.  A guy in his 40s is not sweating about autism and other special needs.  Yes, it's a slightly higher risk with an older dad.  In absolute terms, the risk is still small.

A woman in her 40s is highly unlikely to ever have her own biological baby.

Different stakes entirely and it's not an even playing field.[/quote]

[b]I'm early 30s and have been concerned about dating men 40+ for this reason[/b] as have a couple of gfs in their late 20s. I don't think the information is widespread, however.[/quote]

Congratulations, you're dumb. Please wise up for your own sake. Men 40+ are finally not boys anymore. You are in the right age bracket to snag a good one. Chop-chop, before your eggs expire. Worrying about special needs, because the man is 40+ is beyond stupid. Educate yourself about it to ease your mind.

Or enjoy singlehood. Many cats need loving homes.[/quote]

Says the loser forty something man who wants to date women too young for him.[/quote]

You wish :lol: How are your cats doing? :lol: [/quote]

Dp. I am so tired of the cat and single woman stick.  Please can we retire this?[/quote]

My husband is the cat lady in our family. He was born that way. If I had not been open to having cat he might not have gotten serious with me. I’m not joking [/quote]

Me too!  I'm an equal opportunity cat and dog lover, but I had a cat when I met him and honestly I think that was probably one of the main criteria.

Also, lord, as a 35 year old mother with a rich-ass husband I met in grad school (I still make more than most of the men posting here, though, I'd guess), cats, wine nights out with friends and no old washed-up loser who couldn't lock someone down earlier to deal with sounds like a great life.  I'm team single older women here - I just hope they don't let these types of threads bum them out.[/quote]
