Guys, Men in their 50s or higher, would you date a woman in their 30s if she doesn’t want kids?

I suppose I qualify as "higher". I don't want to have kids at my age. I think it's safe to say most guys over 50 don't either. There are some exceptions, but most are past wanting to have kids.

Even if they wanted kids at some point in their life, they will likely begin to question it by that age. They'll be thinking about being in their late 60s or 70s and dealing with a rebellious teen. They might be wondering if they'll even be alive to see that kid grow. They'll be thinking about supporting a kid and maybe sending them to college several years after they wanted to retire but have to still work. They will be thinking about the parents of other kids who are 20-30 years younger than them, and they'll feel out of place at school functions (not to mention a possible embarrassment to the kid because their father is so old).

This came up with some friends of mine during a get-together. We were all in our early to mid 50s at the time. Only one of our gang said they'd want a kid at their age, if it was with the right person. The others all said no. My own answer was "I don't have enough patience for that any more."

nope. though i would date over 30 under tye right circumstances, i preffer 18 to 30, in large part due to the ability to have children. being over 30 and not wanting kifd would be 2 strikes against her.

No, because I would only date a girl 10 years within my age, but the not having kids part doesn't bother me.

Sorry I'm not in the age range but I'm here to say dont count out the younger audience. Plenty of guys my age myself including dont want kids
