Something like 90% of a woman's eggs are gone by 30. Women can absolutely have children after 35 & even after 40, but if you want multiple kids, starting after 35 is definitely not ideal. Aiming to find someone in their late 20s or early 30s is a smarter approach, IMO.

None of that means it's too late for a woman in her middle to late 30s, or that they won't be good mothers or anything like that.

If you want multiple kids, starting at 50 or older for a man makes less sense than a woman starting at 35 for multiple reasons.. not the least being that sperm quality/quantity decreases

If he can't get her pregnant then the problem solves itself. Men who are healthy and take care of themselves have fathered children despite their old age with no issues.

Yes, and so have women ;)

But if you are a man who wants kids, it doesn't make any sense to actively look for a woman who is 40+

If you are a woman who wants kids, the age of potential partners is arguably much less of a concern.
