Be proud of your age and that you have corrected it in your profile. Now get rid of the bitter opening paragraph and you stand a better chance finding somene.

I agree lol this is just the internet and what people may sugest that we do is entirely up tp US nobody on this site can twist our arm and MAKE us do anything we don't want to do i mean we all have problem's and when it comes down to solveing, them in the end it's really up to US not anybody else because NOBODY can live our life for us.

Don't give up on what you want, however, maybe you should consider some of the older women who are still able to have children. You never know. I, myself, can still have children but have already raised two on my own -- with no help from the exes. But you never know, I may meet someone who could possibly change my mind about that! Keep seeking your dream -- wish you the best!

OP - men can sire children at any age. However, not all men nor are all women fertile. My question to you, let's say you find that wonderful woman, fall in love and get married. What if all you shoot out are blanks? What if she is incapable of having children?
What then, is it D-I-V-O-R-C-E?

Keep in mind that the fertility rates for BOTH men and women go down with age. Better start "shooting"

OP, while I can understand and sympathize with your predicament, why in heavens name would you want to even remotely consider having a child at 49?? Not only that, but think how incredibly unfair it would be to your child. When he is 10 you are 60, when he is 20 you are 70, by the time he is 30 you are 80 or dead, and thats assuming you concieve a child today. While yes we men are physically capable of fathering children at your age and beyond, think about the child, and more immediately important, the woman. Unless it is your intent to marry someone 15+ years your junior, the potential for health risks to the mother, and worse, likelihood for birth defects in the child become far greater the older we get.

If you truly wish to have a child, or in the least experience what you missed out on, I would be inclined to suggest either adoption of an older child, or perhaps becoming a foster parent, or a "big brother". To each their own, but I think the risks outweigh the potential rewards, and it is something that has long reaching potential for problems. I would question how much thought you gave this, and how long you studied the big picture.

Have fun ;)!

It's more likely an attraction thing. Were YOU attracted to a 49 y.o. when YOU were in your 30's? Same reason in women's minds. I firmly believe very few men or women are attracted to people too far removed from their own ages unless there's some sort of financial incentive. Do you really want someone who considers you to be nothing but a cash cow?
