I think that Don W was merely implying that, as a younger woman, AOC was somewhat less disgusting - not that she was a beauty pageant contestant.
I also know young moms with special needs kids...
I also know some people who have gone over Niagara Falls in a barrel, and survived. And people who have smoked three packs a day, and lived to a hundred.
Statistical anomalies and outliers. Citing them does not strengthen your argument.
...and some men do not want kids or more kids.
Yes, and there are probably also some women who don't care about financial security or professional success when seeking a husband. Who prefer the lay-about who dropped out of high school and wandered the streets for a few decades trying to "find himself."
Again, you are roiling the waters of this discussion with your references to tiny minorities and exceptions to the rule.
Even if a man doesn't want (more) children, when seeking a mate, he will (all other factors being equal) invariably prefer the woman who at least looks like she could still bear him (healthy) children, as opposed to a woman who is obviously far past her prime.
I also know older women in very happy long-term relationships with younger men.
Does that happen so frequently as to warrant advising young women to postpone finding a husband and founding a family until after they've spent decades partying and "riding the carousel?"
Are you seriously suggesting that that is sound advice?
You are grasping at straws.

After the ripe age of 24, statistically, a woman’s chances of having a healthy baby go down every year. So marry that 21 year old who thinks you are gross! Personally, I would rather not take the chance with old sperm, even if it was rich. Also according to some here they All hit the wall so then you will not be happy no matter how young you marry as you are basing relationships on youth, which is fleeting.
