'I think women are best off getting married and having a few kids else they'll be absolutely miserable come middle age'
Now I'm sure some people will not agree with me, or at least won't admit they agree with me.. BUT, personally every guy I know wants a loving wife (or husband), and children. Women are steortypically typecast to be the ones pushing for committment and a family, but I think guys want that too. But are usually too stubborn to admit it!

Women have to start to panic if theyre getting to middle age without children or any prospect of having them.. with the body clock and menopause creeping up!! Men can sow their seeds uhntil they're too old to remember what viagra is.

Child bearing is the thing women were made for, something which a man cannot do. For me certainly, and my mum who had to have IVF treatment, if you can't carry a child then you feel like a failure..

And truthfully, I couldn't imagine a future without the prospect of children. Maybe its innate and biological, but I think that most men secretly want the whole family package.. even if it is a little later than women. For guys theres no rush!

Not
all woman want children. Nearly all men do. Because it's a lot simpler for a man. I know for certain I won't feel like a failure for not popping out a kid or ten, because although my body was designed for it, my mind wasn't

Innate?
This is an interesting point, and one that I'm sure philosophers will build on over the years.

YES - the male and female bodies are designed for reproduction, although I'm sure that evolution will eventually redesign the human body to make it easier for reproduction (e.g., less pain for the female, shorter gestation periods)

NO - the male of the species is just as willing to become a Dad as the female is to become a Mum. I love being a Dad!

Evolution does not make giving birth easier
Providing you can give birth without dying, then it matters not how uncomfortable. Which is why shagging feels great to encourage you to do it.

How many women have more than one child even though the first is always the hardest to push out. Besides, it hurts because we walk upright. Also, we don't have to fear having our offspring eaten by lions, which is why gazelles give birth very easily and the infant is up on its feet within 10 mins.

Men feel like a bigger failure when the melty-man cometh

I don't want kids for years and years.
Until I'm at least thirty. But at the same time, I sort of can't wait. And I'm a bloke.

The thought of a mini version of me bowling around is both hilarious and terrifying.

awww little barrys... same, young parent, but not young enough to have to search for csa/father/council housing... young enough to see grandkids, take them to a theme park and go on all the rides and be an embarrassment :)
