"Women are freezing their eggs due to a “lack of stable partners”, new research suggests."
Given that I'm in the "target" age range, I find this quite interesting. Purely on an anecdotal level, several (30-40) guys in my social circle just show no interest in having kids or taking a chance on getting married and settled now because they see it as too much disruption to their lifestyle or simply too much of a financial commitment or risk of becoming a weekend dad.
Disclaimer: I'm probably not the greatest commentator given that I'm quite likely broken after several failed relationships, a few of which involved quite obvious baby-trapping tactics and pregnancy scares. However, I do think that this might be indicative of a tipping point where more guys are just not prepared to take the risk given the way the legal system is stacked against them.
My brother is currently spending a lot of money trying to get access to his kid and failing because the balance always tips the other way, no matter what he does. The mother is a complete wrong'un but never seems to get pulled up on her abusive, drug-induced behaviour. Still paying maintenance with no access, WTF.
So what gives, are we going to end up with more single mothers as a result of women going to sperm donor clinics while us fellas binge on Netflix, eat wotsits and play WoW/masturbate to animé in our man-caves or what?
