I don't understand the condition of the statement.

If I never have a baby by 30, and if I would ever have one -- that's because that's just how it happened.


At any point, I'm looking forward for menopause. I had enough dealing with the human female reproductive cycle.

In your case Chris, due to a lack of a long term partner and because you still rely on your parents - the chances of you having a kid are going to be reduced simply by social circumstance, and not necessarily by anything biological.

Men can have kids at any age, although a man's sperm count declines with age, thus making it harder to conceive as the years go by.

The thing is if men can have children at any age then how come, like women, men are still mainly having children mostly in their 20s and 30s despite hearing about men having kids in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s ?

..because women are the most fertile those age ranges, and beyond 40 they have increased risks of complications.. and then once they hit menopause; no more baby makin'. And MOST men are with a woman that is similar in age to them, not in their 50's 60's 70's 80's with a 25yo partner UNLESS they are very wealthy. Then Maybe they're bangin' some young hottie and Might make themselves a baby late in life.

Actually, a lot of people in my family were over 30 when they had their first child. My mom's younger sister had her first child at 36, and my mom's mother was 33 when she had her. On the other hand, Mom married much younger and had kids earlier than her mother and sister did. My aunt's kids are 12 and 15 years younger than me respectively. On my dad's side, I have two stepcousins who are young enough to be my kids.

Quite a few female celebrities had kids at advanced ages too. Beverly D'Angelo had twins at 49, Janet Jackson had her son at 50, and Adrienne Barbeau had twins at 51.

Based on anatomy, I will never have a baby. :nerdy:
