35, enough time to build yourself and be financially stable in life and young enough to keep up with those little turds

35 man is the best time. You should have a solid career or business by then and kids cost a fortune so it’s important to have a house and your success already well underway. It’s exhausting and tiring so your best to enjoy your youth as long as possible before having kids and then you’ll be financially successful (hopefully) and able to give them a good life.

Make sure to not have kids with a woman with mental issues make sure your woman is solid and can handle a hard job. Cause kids are a hard ass stressful job. If she can’t handle it she’ll resent you and well shit goes south.

Best time is after you've got your own life's shit together for a little while and you have set solid foundation with your ltr with your frame. When you aren't grinding out a job just to hit payday again (finally) so you're able to go blow a wad of it on something stupid, or on your massive pile of accrued debt. When you have a vision for your career and your home life that you'd be happy if your dad had the same plan for you.

If your life's focus is all about yourself still, you're likely going to struggle having a kid and realizing you have very little time for yourself.

It's not about an optimal age for you necessarily, but rather how quickly you can find that space of stability and maturity. Same goes for your ltr. Her ideal age may not be the same as yours, but it's an equally important part of the equation.

When you can give them the best possible life.

As well as the age of the parents, the month of birth can make a difference. There are pros and cons to being one of the eldest or youngest in the class.

You're better off waiting. Kids are something you really need to be 100% ready for yourself, and also able to support and provide for.

It is a complete life changer.

When divorce, alimony and child support won't set you in life.

I agree with your father. I had my first at 28, second at 30. I wish I would have started a little earlier. I also think babies are healthier from younger women.

And so I think that is what matters the most...the woman’s age. I’d say cut a woman off at 35-36. It gets risky after that age, just look at the stats.

Get them out of the way by the time you are 40. Women are so much more fun then.

For a man, mid 30's. Guys in their 20s often aren't world-wise enough.

For a woman, mid 20's pre-wall.
