Age doesn't matter, maturity does. Any male with sperm can become a father, but it takes a real man to be a dad. Until a guy is ready for the lifetime commitment of being a parent, he needs to protect himself. And this doesn't mean believing a female when she says she is on birth control. That can fail. Use a condom at all times. It will feel more natural then becoming a parent before you are really ready.

Age does come in to play when it comes to becoming a father, but so doesn't the maturity level, stability of the homelife, the relationship situation, pretty much the whole atmosphere in general.
I personally would not recommend anyone trying to become a father until they have their lives on track and are in a very stable relationship, preferrably marriage.
Children are not toys and should not be thought of that way. They are a life long committment and are the top priorities in any parent's lives, or should be for that matter.
If you are younger than 23 and not married, I would not recommend trying to be a father, if you already are and what ever your age is, be one and learn how to become the best dang father your child could ever have.

Yes, especially if you can't answer some of the questions below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Will you be able to support your family/child in a healthy environment?
Do you know the responsibilities of being a parent?
Have you ever had any experience in child care such as babysitting etc.
Could you handle caring, loving, and teaching a helpless baby grow into a responsible adult?
Would you have the time to teach your child from right from wrong.
Would a complete stranger consider you a responsible person by the way you talk, dress, act around people, and treat other people?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
yes also because you don't want to be a child (young adult or teen) while trying to raise one with out the proper experience and knowledge.

Yes in some cases yes it does if your like getting to your 40's or 50's you won't be that energetic anymore to play with your child like your athritis and other complications start to kick in so the best age is about in your 20's.

I dont think age matters as long as he is mature enough, then it should be fine.
My husband was 41 when we had our first child, & he can still run about afer him & he's 9 now!

Age doesn't matter, only maturity does, BUT it might be better to wait until you are old enough to know that you are mature!

It sure helps if the guy is mature enough to accept the responsibility of fatherhood.
There are too many sperm donors out there these days and not enought real dads.

age does not matter, maturity is what matters and your approach to giving the child what they need in the sense of love, loyality, understanding

NO, God gave man the equipment to do so. But any man can be the father... It takes the right man to be a dad!
