Yeah, I am going to have to take the correction on the whole. Nearest I can get is that "Reproductive age" is normally defined as "15 to 40" while "peak reproductive age is defined broadly as 20's to 30's. Lots of sites pointing out the higher risks to younger mothers.Originally Posted by Jellybean
I could find lots of *animal* studies that show younger is better (mice, drosophila etc), but all the human stuff points the other way. The only "support" I could find was in this article:
Older mothers risk fertility of daughters | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited
which says:
Bill Ledger, professor of reproductive medicine at Sheffield University, said: "This is fascinating. We know the best quality eggs are ovulated early in life,
but in general the article is concerned with late motherhood rather than early.
So, on balance, I stand corrected.

^ IA wrote a good bit on it quite a while ago and I think 'backed' it up quite well.
It certainly makes sense to me at least.
Same as women generally look for certain stuff in men (subconsciously..sp?)....obviously not all though.

Since a woman's reproductive value declines steadily with age after twenty, evolutionary selection has favored men who are attracted to youth in a mate.
crap pasted wrong link..there we go (on edit)
Physical attractiveness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
OK, not the best source, but give me half an hour or so after lunch and I should have tacked it down. Problem was my early search concentrated on the female side of it and got hooked up on all those infertility type sites.
Start searching around "men, attractiveness reproduction" and you hit a gold mine.

What's the average age of a 'sexy' female pop star nowadays? Britney did Hit Me One More Time....when? Beyonce? Etc. Your Lindsay L's....shit once they hit mid 20's they seem past it nowadays (or was it always this way).
Elvis started going out with Prscilla when?
Jerry Lee and his cousin?
Many examples I think of men liking younger women throughout history no?
but does that condone an older man doing the jig with an underage girl?Originally Posted by kenkannif

I think it can work both ways....some people are born gay/pedoes/sheep lovers....some people are brought up or evolve into them....fitty fitty? Do you get what I mean? I also think some people are born evil, and some people due to their life experiences can become evil (and all that's inbetween).
My take on it too more or less.Originally Posted by kenkannif
