Wanting children in your 60s is selfish. Not only do you put them at much higher risk for birth defects, but you likely won’t be around for most of their life
If you want kids at that age, the solution is simple: adopt. Adopting is just a good idea in general, though. There are already too many people. There’s no good reason to make more.
Meh, once someone is over thirty they’ve typically done enough adulting that the “half your age plus 7” metric isn’t really necessary. There isn’t a power or maturity imbalance, and I’m inclined to think that such women are capable of evaluating the pros and cons of dating me. My current best prospect is a M.D. that is 35.
As a 60 year old man that dates women in their mid-30s (I want children), I feel this post-it note.
Props for the honesty

this has been historically blamed on women and it is now coming to light that old sperm isn’t good

60/2 + 7 = 37. Mid 30s is cutting it
