Topic: Tried to buy an engagement ring today
+Svet !jzYkdX7lIw — 11.8 years ago #38,846
Took girlfriend to jewelers to get finger measured (she's an N) then I told her I'll buy one know then offer it to her when we're in the Maldives. So we jump from shop to shop trying to pick one while she's telling me we got to eat out rather than cooking at home even though I brought in a bunch of food because she's busy with work (working 9 to 5;30 five days a week is a big deal apparently) then she keeps telling me she's not sure about getting married so I say ok fuck it, lets eat. She sulks while we eat, is silent in the taxi home then calls me an asshole. Fucking bitch doesn't know what she wants.

They can only take half of what you earn AFTER your're married and you have to be a big earner. We're both on lowish incomes. Also getting married is the only way she'll have a kid with me

Svet, you're exactly the opposite of every guy I know. Most guys would jump at the chance to live with a woman and not have to get married. Then again, you want to have a kid, so yeah marriage would be better for that. Whatever, just drink a couple of beers and it'll all seem better.

Marry someone that makes you happy . I will
And its not a good idea to have a kid just because you think youre old enough, if youre going to have a rough relationship with the mom,

He's worried that he's getting too old and this is his last shot before he enters the guaranteed autism stage.

Have many friends who at say age 60 married gals of 30 and they got pregnant in a flash - Need to grab a microscope from Qualcomm and do a quick sperm count -did that back at age 12/13 and still remember the numbers

I mean the point when his material is too far degraded to produce properly healthy children. The older the parents are when the woman becomes pregnant, the more likely that the child will have abnormalities.

Damn I was unaware of recent studies - U are so correct
Babies born to older men carry a higher risk of having genetic problems, says a study from the USA . A French study showed that male infertility shoots up after the age of 40. Not only does the lower quality of older men's sperm lower fertility, it also makes it more likely that babies with genetic abnormalities are born.
You can read about the American study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences under the title "Advancing age has differential effects on DNA damage, chromatin integrity, gene mutations, and aneuploidies (chromosome abnormalities) in sperm".
Andrew Wyrobek, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Brenda Eskenazi, University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health, study leaders, said that the their study demonstrated that men who wait till later in life to have children are not only risking infertility, but also having babies with such genetic disorders as achondroplasia and schizophrenia. The researchers found that the DNA in the sperm of older men do deteriorate. (Achondroplasia = Dwarfism)
Women of any age who become pregnant with older men also have a higher risk of miscarriage, the study found.
The US study analyzed the semen of 97 men, aged 22-80. All the men were non-smokers. The scientists tested for DNA damage, chromosomal abnormalities and gene mutations. They found that lower sperm motility correlated with DNA fragmentation.
The study showed that men, as well as women, have a biological fertility clock. The difference seems to be that for women the change occurs more abruptly.
Even though older men are more likely to produce babies with genetic problems, there is not a raised risk of having a child with Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, triple X syndrome, and XYY - as is the case with older women. Some older men, a small fraction, have a higher risk of fathering offspring with multiple genetic and chromosomal defects.
The researchers found that older men recruited in the Baltimore inner city area had an increased risk of fathering children with Apert syndrome. However, this was not the case with the men recruited in California. Apert syndrome is a serious disfiguring birth defect. The report suggests that socioeconomic, ethnic and/or dietary factors may also influence how age affects human sperm quality.
A French study found that male fertility takes a nosedive when a man reaches the age of 40. The study was carried out at INSERM (Institut National de la Sant? et de la Recherche M?dicale). The study looked at the 2,000 couples in France who were having fertility treatment.
Since 1980, the USA has seen a 40% jump in 35-49 year-old men fathering children and a 20% fall in men under 30 fathering children.

yeah. He should simply say "Hey, I'm done" and walk away. Leave her cold and move on, same as any regular guy would.
Of course, he won't do that. He thinks she should be grateful for his favors and attention. He'll just go crawling back to her with his gifts and trinkets, then "vent" his rage on this board whenever things don't go his way.
"I bought her a ring and she called me an asshole". Self-righteous fucking beta.
