well im just trying to highlight that if you hadnt - you may be thinking along the same lines!? Im sorry i hope no1 finds this thread offesnive im just thinking out loud is all..
fascinating thread on boards.ie and you thought women were the only ones to get broody!? personally i find alot of women in their late 30s/40s very attractive/turn on ...but i dont look at them as "keepers" in that i probably wont get the time to form a stable relationship, settle down and have a couple of kids...is it a big factor in dating esp when you get into your 30's?thoughts?
Lately I have found myself realising that at some point in the coming years I would definitely like to have children (I am 32). Up until very recently it was always something I was open to, but not completely decided on.
More so, like most blokes it was probably something I always figured would be 'one for the future', as in a topic that would arise naturally down the line, once I'd met someone, etc.
I do a fair bit of dating, and meeting one or two girls in their mid-30s (say 34+), it's something that I am really thinking of now - the fact that if something serious was to develop, would it realistically be a bit late for having a family by the time we'd get to that stage. This is leading me to look more at women in their 20s and early 30s, and somewhat 'rule out' those in the mid-30s upwards range.
So it's kind of like if you were 32/33, and you met a girl who was a bit older, -say going on 35 - and you wanted 2-3 kids, by the time you'd get to the marriage / let's start a family stage, she'd be approx 38-ish trying for or having the first. So it seems late for sure, considering fertility declines sharply around the 35 mark, the risks (albeit I know they can be 'managed', etc).
can i reign in what i just said and eat humble pie?
just reading the thread again and pedro mate you did get a bit snappy there so play nice too sometimes people like to lighten the subject matter at hand also.
lads im sickened at the sort of crap going on in this thread tonight and i have to say i think people are just having a go at pedro stop being arseholes/bullyboys if youve nothing responsible to say just move onto the next thread.
Would you date a deaf person? or have you dated a date person? id be interested to hear your opinion as a hearing person and if theres any deaf people out there that dated hearing people whats your opinion? Im not sure to be honest...would be interested to hear what people think. Cheers
i only show mine to someone i might like thats the way uh-huh i like it uh-huh uh-huh, if i sent it and the person wasnt impressed well then id accept it and move on, if their not mature enough to accept that well i think its for the best
I hear ye but i dont think "lust" is exactly the right word either, i believe in deep attraction at first sight and a curiosity to know more and not in this sense but more in this sense
leaving the ahem "depression" aside thats been discussed in depth already- alot of pontificating going on btw!
This is a tale where morals and respect went out the window, leaving depression aside- she had an affair "because she could" in the words of Bill Clinton.
Im not taking the moral high ground here but all the good things in life --love, togetherness, life partnerships trust all that go down the swanny after this situation....I think thats depressing..down with that sort of thing
dating and the biological clock
