Are Men The New Women? No, Fathers Are The New Mothers? No, I Mean...


Whatever happened with just asking a gal out on a date and see what happens? When the Chinsese said "may you live in interesting times", they meant that as a warning. Here’s the excerpt from the NY Times Style section on 9/7:

Joe Kurtzer, 45, an executive with a financial services company in the Boston area, said he was 39 and fresh from a failed relationship in 2002 when he decided to raise a child on his own. “I didn’t want to be 50 years old having a child,” he said.


I never agreed with single women having a child without a father, nor can I agree with single men choosing to be dads through surrogates and such. First off, women outnumber men. In some cases, a woman may not meet a guy to marry and have a kid with to suit her very obvious biological clock ticking (I can smell a fertile man over 6 feet tall about 10 blocks away making my eggs nearly jump out of me). Men have a bit more time to pick over what’s left. Why not just work on building a relationship with a nice gal and have a baby, and yes, maybe get married? When did this become the last resort instead of the first? Who in their right (no Palin pun intended) would choose to raise a child by themselves?

Your post is interesting but unfortunately lot more common than people think. As a black male working in Technology though men dont have the biological clock women do, most of us want children as well the trick part is finding that right woman that you want to spend the rest of your life with. Its easy having a child but growing from a single parent household dont just want to have kids with anyone. Would i have a child without a mother, definitely not.
