[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think our society is slowly realizing that serial dating (and sleeping around) to the edge of the fertility window is not working and it was better when started pairing off in the early to mid 20s and having babies in their late 20s.

Uh no not really. What alternate reality are you living in[/quote]
+1 haha. Look at the fertility and marriage rate over the years. People are waiting longer to get married and have kids, if at all.

That's some Project 2025 Gilead wishful thinking there.[/quote]

I didn’t say behavior was currently changing drastically.  I said people are slowly realizing it’s a bad idea and it’s part of the reason the dating scene is such a mess right now.

People like me are outproducing and outperforming people like you so things will shift eventually, it really is just a matter of timing. If hearts and minds change, changes will be quick.  If they don’t, we will get there eventually through trial and error and process of elimination.[/quote]
? well, I'm 54 with two kids. So, sure, you will outperform me in having kids because I'm done. Thank god. I would not want more than two kids.  I come from a family of 4 siblings. No way in h3ll would I have ever done that nor advocate for my DD to do that.

People who had a lot of kids back in the day did so because they were too poor to get birth control, like my parents, or due to religion (another form of being somewhat uneducated).  Educated women don't want to just be baby making machines.

Perhaps if there was a paradigm shift in our culture where men were expected to be equal partners, women would be more willing to have more children at an earlier age.  Alas, until that happens, the trend of not having kids or having a few later in life will continue.  [/quote]

That’s great but recognize you are increasingly part of a dwindling subculture, like a more moderate version of the Shakers.

There are plenty of people still having 3+ kids and most importantly, they and their kids think nothing like you.

I agree it can be difficult for women to have a kid of children if they are only capable of attracting a low quality mate.  But women who attract high quality mates don’t have problems to the your family did.[/quote]
