Older fathers have uglier children

Half of all marriages end in divorce nowadays...

True. The idea of what a marriage and relationship should be has been corrupted because of hookup culture, media etc. rather than working out problems people just jump ship and chase boyfriend after boyfriend or girlfriend after girlfriend because "the heart wants what it wants." having 50 girlfriends or boyfriends then finally deciding to "settle down" does not make a good case for a stable marriage. lol.

finding someone who has not fallen victim to hookup culture will be hard. but church is a good place to start.

Also hypothesis that children of older fathers suffers eg from schizophrenia and many heart defects more often exists... very serious defects that can't be discovered during pregnancy...

No shit, older fathers are by definition uglier, as they had to spend more time on attaining wealth and security, when other more attractive men had it easier, thus married earlier. Another case of reverse causality. One needs to control these variables.

Hmmm... Then that means 50% of marriages don't end in divorce, Bob.

I hope you meet a good woman. Marry her. Have many healthy, happy children. And live to be a great grandfather with your loyal, loving wife by your side.

Man, if you don't rep me for this one, I'll kick your ass for sure.

In the USSR, it was believed that young (18-20 years) parents had well-developed children physically, but they did not have enough brains. In vice versa, mature parents' children are often smart, even genius, but physically weak, plus schizophrenia and genetic abnormalities are possible.

I've not met many of these ugly, defect ridden children the study and your theorizing suggests, walk commonly among us.

Could it be, this is just another assault on older parents who've led successful professional lives and the younger generations envy of their position in society?

Based on many comments in this thread, much resentment exists.
