6 moThat’s different for everyone. Women can have kids in their 40s maube not as easily then before. But let’s face it…. Plenty of women can find men in their 40s. Men who are divorced and already have children and men who just don’t really want children or don’t have to have them.
If a man wants kids or more kids. Higher risk of not having kids after 40 but it does still happen. The issue is if people can find themselves someone compatible.

@summeroflove If a man wants kids he needs to find a younger woman to reduce risk of birth defects.

That may be true. If a man’s wanting kids especially if he wants a lot of kids. That may be more compatible

6 moI've never told the full truth when I've rejected a woman. Make up something similar to the old "It's not you, it's me."

Anonymous(25-29)6 moThe now 40 yo man should have married the now 40 yo woman and had kids with her 20 years ago. If he’s no longer able to have kids with women his own age he waited too long to have them.

@anonymous He can always just get a 20 something year old woman. There's no such thing as a man waiting to long.

Anonymous(18-24)6 moYou just explain to her that you dont want to be having a 40 year old man's kid because of the links to 40 year old new fathers and down syndrome and autism.

@anonymous Doest make sense the question as how do you let a 40 yro woman know she's too old?
Opinion Owner6 moBut she's not. 40 year old men shouldn't be having children.

Opinion Owner6 moMen eventually are infertile usually around 50 but before that at 40 their sperm quality degrades and the risk of children they have having special needs increases.
- 6 mo
@Opinion owner Its unfortunate you've been lied to. Men can have kids til the day they die. Also men can impregnate as many women as they want which decreases the chance of having kids with special needs. A women can only bring one kid to term so her risk is so much more. So a 40 year old women would be risking everything on one child while a 40 yro man can impregnate as many women as they want.
Opinion Owner6 moExtensive research across different countries consistently demonstrates an association between an older paternal age and increased autism risk. Large-scale studies, including a comprehensive analysis of over 5.7 million children, have revealed that children with fathers in their 40s face about a 28% higher likelihood of autism, while those with fathers in their 50s face a 66% increased risk compared to children of fathers under 30.

I'm here to help sprinkle a little compassion and understanding on your question. Age is just a number, and relationships are about connection, not just procreation. Assuming someone isn't taken seriously due to age and fertility is a major red flag. Relationships thrive on love, compatibility, and mutual respect—babies or not! Let’s not ghost the beautiful connections that can bloom regardless of age. Wouldn't you agree, love? 😉❤️

Was looking at a girl i used to date growing up recently. She is 3 years older than me. Used to be super skinny, she had a few kids Anyway I ran into her in the pub at Christmas, she turned 40 last and my God is she is looking fine. That ass has grown, thick hips and thighs, bigger boobs and still the same pretty face. I would be tempted to take a walk down memory lane, and by memory lane I mean smashing her back door in.

Anonymous(45 Plus)6 moDude wtf is wrong with you? Seriously? The woman i love Danielle is 41 she's not "to old" she happens to be a blessing and just because someone can't have kids doesn't and shouldn't disqualify someone from being a potential partner and a potential love and even soulmate & twin flame

@anonymous Sorry to hear you can't have kids w/ the woman you love. Hopefully you can find a younger woman.
Opinion Owner6 moYou need help sime serious mental help
- 6 mo
Opinion Owner6 moYou need professional help you really do. Would you want a young or older woman rejecting you because you can't have kids. You may be 48 or whatever BUT you have A LOT of growing up and maturing to do before you ever bring or raise a child in this world
Opinion Owner6 moJust because a woman can't have kids anymore you should still love her all the same not any less especially if the situation is beyond her control. Things happen in life but she still deserves all the love and support in the world even if she can't have children anymore.
You got a lot of growing up and maturing to do- 6 mo
@Opinion owner The difference is if a woman rejected me, it would simply been seen as her preference. However when I man displays his preference he receives nonsensical arguments like the one you are attempting to make. I would argue that it is you who lack maturity since you are ignoring biology in favor of your emotions.

@Opinion owner Plesse just stop. If a man wants children he has every right to find a woman who is able tp do so, unfortunately older women aren't. This is the type of toxic advice losers attempt to give to men telling them they shouldn't have standards. I've built myself up to put myself in the position to choose the woman I want and I wouldn't choose and older damaged woman who isn't able to provide healthy children. How you feel about that is irrelevant.
Opinion Owner6 moThe only person who's damaged is YOU and by your asinine replies it shows you severe lack of maturity and understanding about the opposite sex. If you want to procreate and reproduce then go jerkoff at a sperm donor clinic. But judging by what kind of asinine incel clown you are i highly doubt any woman would want to reproduce with the likes of you
Opinion Owner6 moAnd just for the record several months ago some slob called Danielle damaged goods... i spent hours upon hours reassuring her she wasn't and i told that son of a bitch who really upset her that if he ever talked to her like thst again and disrespected her like that again he'd find himself at the bottom of an ocean swimming with the fish. Point is you love and support and help those you love and care about and give them the support they need not just go around looking to get your little pecker fucked like you're doing
Opinion Owner6 moYou never know what people are going through or dealing with on the inside and when you call someone damaged it can really upset them and effect them in a negative manner. Someone did that to Danielle said that horrible thing to her and i spent hours upon hours reassuring her she wasn't that she's still a wonderful and amazing and loving woman and that she's not damaged she's her simply wonderful her not broken not damaged just a wonderful loving and amazing person and soul. That's what you do you support those you love not treat them with disrespect and look to grt your little pecker laid

How do you break it to a 42-year-old woman that wants kids in the future that maybe it's not a great idea?
