At what age do men start thinking about fatherhood?

[TheFemalePerspective]

I have some male friends who are extremely serious about settling down because they want to start a family and are looking forward to fatherhood.

So around what age do you think that feeling hits men? Curious to see if there's a consensus.

The first time my parents told me if I ever got a girl pregnant my ass was

definitely 25-34..

the way society is set up, that kid life is a no from me dawg more and more

having a daughter

 

[hood b. goode]

this world is going to hell, no longer want to bring a kid into it

Prally not the norm, but in my case 15-16.

I understand why that was tho, my lack of paternal reference psychologically burned the idea of "fathering" into my mind. I thought about it alot. Until I framed some goals for myself that a family would infringe upon. I really did want to be a father young tho, I wanted a son specifically...had the name and everything.

I'm 28 and I'm thinking about it. Started thinking about this around 26.

I can't see myself bringing a child into this world when half the time I don't even want to be here anyways

Late 20's early 30's when you want to do more than running the streets. And kinda start to value a stable life.

I started thinking about having kids in the future at the age of 22 but, now at 24 I'm not so sure I want to have them in this anti black and bizarre era we're in today.

You have to be more specific.. what are you talking about exactly? When we first think about what it would feel like to be a father? Probably as earliest as we can comprehend what fatherhood is.

Now the yearning to be a father? At 22 I haven't really felt it yet. I know I want to be a father in the future, but I've never had some sort of feeling like i want to be a father... other then sexual energy and wanting to have sex with a woman ie procreate.

I was thinking about it at 10 but now that I know better it's

When they stop dealing with stank females like you.

 

[Piffiztheanswer]

Id say after 25-26 you start feeling the urge to procreat n settle down... but how things are know brehs are more cautious because the game has changed drastically

 

[O.T.I.S.]

No age

Most guys don't think about it until it pops up on them. Older guys do though, once they got their life kinda figured out

Soon as a chick tells you "we need to talk..are you sitting down?"
