Response and a dose of reality

Older men that want to have children have usually already had what children they want and do not go and look for a younger wife to have kids.

I really got a kick out of this one. Your average older man would take a younger, more fertile woman any day.

It's simple biology.

It's also why in most cases, the man in the relationship is older than the woman when there is an age difference.

If they are older, they are usually already settled or don't care for kids.

Then why do we have doctors researching on how to give 60 year-old babies and why does the media do specials on such stories?

Settled? Have you read the posts on here? A lot of people are anything but settled. Why else do you think they are going to such great lengths to find a partner??

Not all men want kids, not all women want kids.

Sweeping rationale such as this simply does not fly on here and does not help anyone.

Not everyone wants to be married. Certainly not all men want a younger woman to TAKE CARE of them.

Ever heard of a marriage of convience? That's what these are all about. Money, care, ect.

There are more important things in relationships and marriages without worrying about who will die first and oh let me go and find me some pretty little thing so she can take care of me.

Whoever said anything about dying? I'm talking about aging and the women on here who get with a younger guy, marry him, and it's like adopting a son.

And yes, it IS important to consider when you marry a man significantly younger than you.

And yet so many American men look abroad for such women (a lot of times its sex too, I suppose) and then they are surprised when the girl leaves them after she gets naturalized.

Go figure!

I guess our Luigi want someone to take care of him. SELFISH. You should be thinking about how you will take care of her.

I am not "your" Luigi and it's really not wise to tell others what to think, especially if you would never be able to do it in person.

Sorry, my information is based on facts and other solid information, not just on my personal experiences or how I see the world.
