[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Josh Duhamel, 45, Wants to Find Someone "Young Enough to Have Kids" After Fergie, 44, Split

“I’m not 30 years old anymore. I’m 45. I want to have more kids in the next few years. So it’s more about finding someone young enough to have kids. I’m trying to find a girl that I can be with and have a family with.”

Josh was spotted last week in Malibu dining with a mystery woman who appeared to be in her late 20s.

I dunno, sometimes I think it's kind of selfish for men to put off having kids so late. Figure a couple years of dating until he finds someone, maybe a year or so until they get serious, then another year from the time they start trying to conceive until the kid is born- he'll be pushing 50. I don't know many 50-60 year olds who can deal with young kids, and his health will start declining rapidly while the kid is in their teens/20s/30s. That's a lot of pressure to put on a young person who is in school, starting a career, or caring for a family. Plus, children with older fathers are much more likely to have autism or ADHD.

I know several men who suddenly decided in their 40s they wanted kids, and I wish them luck, but I don't think they realize how difficult the logistics of it are at that age. Most are the sort of "perpetual bachelor" who value their freedom above all else and never wanted commitment, I just don't see how they will handle it when a child arrives and chains them down, or if God forbid their child has an intellectual disability and needs more intensive care. One of these men I know had a kid, realized kids aren't just cute accessories you show off, and had nothing to do with the child until he turned 18 and could go out partying with him. [/quote]
