Well Johnny, are you willing to take that risk? Are you going to bet on those odds with a cougar? I wouldn't, especially since the birth rates among older women are rising at an all time high. So no, the odds are not very against this like you say. The odds are still in favor of it. You can still wind up with an accident just like my co-worker did. That's not something that I would like to deal with especially with some old bag. Can you imagine how extra b!tchy she would be? Not a responsibility that I want to have. I'm a careful guy. So, I always proceed with caution and don't make rash decisions. Women back in the old days had kids until they were in their 40's. And guess what? They are doing it again in recent years. Make sure that you always post good sound advice. Instead of offering your own personal opinions that you don't know anything about. Otherwise, you end up embarrassing yourself like you just did. :yes:
Sorry Johnny, but you are wrong. The odds are in favor of it, and its not as rare as you think. Looks like these articles prove my point down to the T. You should learn more about cougars and their fertility. How do ya like them apples?

"According to data from the National Center for Health Statistics, in American women ages 40 to 44, birthrates have hit their highest point since 1967. Births have also become increasingly common among women in their late 30's."
"There's no denying there's a risk for older mothers, Murray says, but even as the risk rises, it remains very small."

"Older motherhood is hardly unprecedented: Forty somethings were likely to bear children in the 1940s and '50s, as many women had the last of their three, four or more children in middle age. As the baby boom petered out and birth control expanded in the late 1960s and '70s, the numbers plummeted."
"But motherhood among forty somethings has rebounded, this time driven by women who chose to put off having children. An older mother today is more likely than in decades past to be having her first child, national statistics show. Immigration has also affected the numbers, as immigrant women are more likely than those born in the U.S. to have babies at older ages."

"The birth rate for women in their 30s and early 40s rose in 2012, even as birth rates for teenagers and young adults declined to record lows, according to figures released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
"The rise in the number of births to older women was not surprising to Dr. Edward McCabe, chief medical officer for the March of Dimes."
"If we just look at our anecdotal experience with women who are friends and colleagues, we know a lot of women are delaying birth until later in life," McCabe said."

"Well past her "Just a Girl" days, Gwen Stefani, 44, is reportedly expecting her third child. Her pal, 42-year-old stylist Rachel Zoe, was close to having baby number two at press time, and actress Halle Berry recently popped out a kid—at 47!"
"The truth is, birthrates for all U.S. women ages 40 to 44—many of whom are getting knocked up for the first time—have hit a four-decade high, according to the National Center for Health Statistics."
