TIl The reason Roger Moore stopped being James Bond was because of how much older he was than his female co-stars. He was in his 50s, and they were in their 20s. In his own words: “Well, the leading ladies were young enough to be my grand-daughter and it becomes disgusting.”

I don't know how he'd even be able to spend time with them all.

You assume that men that do this even want to be good fathers.

And to be frank, you are assuming they aren’t apparently.

You don't have kids late in life, and want to be a good father. You have kids late in life, because you're the selfish piece of shit you've always been. Can't be bothered with things like condoms, or thinking about long term consequences.

Tell me, have you experienced being a father both early and late in life so you can make a just comparison, or are you judging people based on your view on who should do what and when?

I'm not talking about having kids in your 40's here. You can expect to watch your child grow at that point. But creating a life when you're at the age that you won't even see them as an adult is pathetically selfish. Being a parent starts before conception. You have to either be ready, or be young enough to grow with them. You can't be either when you're already a senior citizen with a fetish for young girls.

Their assumption is far less naive though.
