Do men have biological clocks?

[kamilio]

This is more relvant to men who are late 20s-mid 30s; Do men have "biological clocks"?

I think I have one. I used to swear up and down when I was younger that I would never have a kid and saw no use to having children but my views have started to change dramatically. These are the symptoms that I have noticed:

1. If I see a baby in public I can't help but stare at it and smile.
2. I tend to talk more about babies than I used to in the past and I am much more willing to entertain the topic when it comes up on dates whereas before it used to scare me and I would usually switch topics asap.
3. I subconciously think about how much raising a child may cost whenever I think about saving now so that leads to me saving more than I used to in the past.

Do men have a "baby clock" and is mine beeping?

Since the advent of the blue pill, I have to say no.

We men have what clinically term mid life crisis, basically divorce men in their 40's chasing new trophy.

So if you miss your chance early in life to start a family, wait till your 40's and start anew.

Trust me, you won't miss a beat.

I find that I'm not so quick to get angry like I did when I was younger. I used to get angry at everything. I have mellowed out quite a bit from when I was in my early 20's. Now I only get angry when I eat watermelon.

I think thats just maturity, and perhaps realizing your own mortality.

I think that's what you do when you get to dirty rich on your own. When you were younger, you be angry because everyone drives your patients. Now, it's all under now, because you are a baller. You drive other people's patients instead of the other way around.

[veejam]

I feel the same man. I think I'm going to impregnate whoever my next gf is.

Lol I think that might be the absence of angst or just maturity hitting you. :lol:

Not biological clock, it's just your mind playing tricks on you (baby clock).

1) You can't help to stare at a baby, because you find your couples life bored as hell. The baby is more of a play thing. Looking at other people's toys makes you smile.
2) You tolerate the topic, because people around you are having babies. All your siblings/friends/coworkers, hence you mellow to pop one real soon.
3) You only think about this, because you don't want your child to starve. When you were before you tolerate yourself to sleep on the street and starve if anything goes wrong. Now you got other little people to think about.

Biological clock as you being able to have babies. I am sure you can still spread your seed around in your late 60s and make babies at that age. Men has no biological clock issues.

[D-Roc]

Everyone has a biological clock. It stops when you die.

[dibksbgon]

If you are talking purely biologically (in terms of baby making), yes.

Not exactly the same as women but the quality and motility of men's sperm does very much decrease with age ergo increasing the chance of birth defects.
Just as women start encountering a tremendous increase in birth defects on their part in their 30s and especially 40s, so do men.

The feelings you are talking about, the more emotional side I think also comes with age. You get some maturity and so forth and maybe start thinking of it more? Not saying maturity = desire to have a kid, not at all as their are plenty of mature happy people who are without child and remain so and want to be childless.

[CRAZYBUBBA]

I don't quite follow, what does this mean?

OP: I'm in your age group and I'm starting to feel the same way, but i had always assumed that it was due to the lack of stability in my personal life (lots of work related travel).

Not sure if serious, but the "biological clock" doesn't necessarily have to be tied to the physical ability to have kids. Some guys look forward to being dads. Not all, but some men do. Having babies at age 60 and being a senior-citizen dad with a walker or a cane is hardly the same experience as being young enough to enjoy your kids.

Men do have bilogical clocks. As they grow older, less soldiers are produced making it harder to impregnate a woman.

[sylpherware]

Yea. Every morning mine points at 12 o'clock.

[stuntman]

Yes. The time is always now.

[mtmp5k]

Men produce sperm and can reproduce till they die....so no

We all have biological clock of course:).

i just thought these three were not the indicators of biological clocking ticking but more of emotional maturity because babies comes with responsibilities.:)

Do men have a "baby clock" and is mine beeping?

Yes, I think most men have a biological clock that ticks just like women. I think it's a biological imperitive to have (or at least want to have) children. It's programmed into all of us. Yes, there are people who choose not to have kids, and there are people who can't have kids, but I think it's more common to get that clock ticking.

It all comes down to how you want to live your life. Once you hit 30, your career path is usually well on it's way, you've probably set yourself up with a house, possibly a wife/husband, and you're trying to suss out how you want to live out the remaining years of your life. Everybody at some point in their life has figured out what they want. If you're along the kid path, your 30s is starting to get into the wheelhouse of when that happens. Women are on the clock - by their later-30s, kids are harder to have, and are more likely to come out with problems. So, if you look around at your life and notice that sh*t isn't where it needs to be, and you're 30, you panic. Now, because women are on the clock, they panic more, and that biological clock becomes more pronounced. But men have it too, especially if you're married and your wife is in that zone because you're now tied to the same clock.
