Women: Marry that man who isnt prince charming but is good enough

Good idea. No one ever notices my butt.

It may be sexist, but unfortunately, men have longer biological clock, and they age better.
Once a woman turns 30+, her options becomes limited. There aren't that many men around in their mid-thirties who may be considered 'good catches' and are not already married.
If a woman can not find 'mr perfect' when she is in her prime, how likely is it that she would be able to find him when she is past her prime?
Having a child makes thing more complicated. I know several women that I like, but I am not willing to live with the complications of their children: being father figure to a child who already has a biological father, visitations, etc.

All of this is completely true. it is more complicated in our 30's and especially more complicated with children in the mix.

women shouldn't feel the "need" to procreate either. I understand that as a man I don't have that same internal workings as a woman......but no human should feel the need to procreate unless they're of a sound stable situation, period!! The world has enough fucking people in it. I just think that as a supposedly advanced culture we should treat procreation more as a privilege than some inate right. I just can't imagine that even as a woman, I would want to raise children unless I was in the "right" situation. Yeah, unfortunately life isn't always perfect and things happen that you have to make the best of. But to want to have children just for the sake of fullfilling some genetic predisposition seems almost selfish to me.
