It's men, too. Sperm count and more importantly quality deteriorates. So both sexes are on the biological clock.

Not comparable in any way. 80 year old men can get women pregnant. Women generally have extreme trouble getting pregnant at half that age.

In any way? That's a gross exaggeration & oversimplifies the myriad of reasons Women have difficulty becoming pregnant. My point was simply that everyone is on the clock.

Men and women’s biological clock for the ability to get someone pregnant or become pregnant are massively different, like I said. A perfect health man will be able to impregnate women decades after a perfect health woman of the same age can get pregnant. That’s just biological reality.
