Has anyone had this feeling as a man of wanting to be a dad?

As I get older (not getting younger obviously) I just wonder when it is I will ever find someone and you know, hopefully before getting too old, I’m able to have a child, or two even.

I’ve felt as though my body is screaming at me “FIND A MATE” and it’s honestly been as strong as ever, even at age 35. Obviously we have this society that we are in now too, where it’s been hard to earn enough money or retain jobs, or what have you, but I have found a way and I’d like to think I’m rapidly getting to a point now where this all may finally be possible.

But the women have to want it too, and I’ve seen some studies recently where less and less women want to have kids, and it seemingly shows everywhere I look. I occasionally will get sone attention from single mothers , but the idea of taking on someone else’s kids just has zero appeal as a guy. It’s very hard sometimes too because some of these women are very attractive.

It’s just, I don't know, I wish there were more women out there really thinking about their future and who they let into their lives, and you just see how reckless they are anymore and it’s just so unappealing, discouraging, and defeating I’ll say. All this internal urgency and motivation, in a world that just isn’t even set up or tuning into that frequency anymore. It’s rough.

I want to add too, a lot of my friends now are married and have kids. And they will tell me, “you’d make a great dad” and stuff like that and it’s like I know I would. Not saying I’m like completely prepared for that. Who is? It’s a huge undertaking, to be a parent. But I’m very aware of that. And I just see a world full of reckless people jumping into situations giving them zero thought and it’s like “when is a woman going to come along and see what my friends see?”
