I guess the women I know who had kids at 43, and the two I know who had kids at 51, should give their kids back and get a refund....
Men's sperm deteriorates with age, too. Older men are more likely to have kids with certain defects, studies show. That doesn't stop them, though.
There was a woman at church who had triplets naturally at 46 and the head of the religious department told me her grandmother had her last baby at 52. My great grandmother had her last kid around 50. Celebrity wise Lucille Ball had both of her kids in her 40's (40 and 42 I believe).
so does it get harder for women as they get older or not? fact or myth?
Does what get harder, childbirth? It really depends on the woman. Some women thrive on pregnancy, and bliss out on the extra hormones. The two women I know who had a kid at 50+ were that type.
^ Interesting article. Golddigging is definitely in their DNA. You can see it from a young age in all cultures across the world. I'm surprised people even try to debate it. You can't change biology. After high school that instinct really kicks in.
"Back in the day"? What day was that? Back in the Pleistocene?
lol
I was reminded of this thread because my husband posted a video on facebook for a song by lead vocalist from Neena. For the older people here, remember 99 Luft balloons? Anyhow, he titled this other song 50 is the new 30. After watching it on youtube I found that she did a remake of luft balloons in 2009 when she was 49.
Women generally age 100x better than men. Women are like fine wine, they get better and better. Men just get old.
Men are only as good as the woman behind them.
Those older guys you see that look so hot? That's only because they have wives who have cooked for them, cleaned for them, raised their kids for them, ironed their shirts for them, etc, etc. They can afford to look bright and shiny because they've had it easy.
In my experience, most older single men are unhappy about it. They want partners desperately.
They are the saddest, lonliest, most pathetic creatures imaginable. They are set in their ways, unwilling to change to get a woman but still hoping one will come along and love them regardless.
.
An older single woman will be vibrant, interesting, interested, busy, having a great time, probably have a lover if not a couple of them, and no intent at all of marrying any of them.
So, if you're talking smooth skin and baby voices, your young woman has it hands down.
If your idea of beauty is more flexible (which generally happens as you get older and more mature, fancy that) you will be forced to admit that older women have got it going on, much more than older men...except career wise of course.
Yet another unthanked sacrifice us women make...*sigh*
ETA: George Clooney might look the heartthrob, but I can guarantee he's more yawn than horn.
Women are like fine wine, they get better and better. Men just get old.
No wonder that statement was originally made to describe men. Women who get wrinkles and grey hair are getting old. Men with wrinkles and grey hair are getting even more charming.
