The rise of 'co-parenting': Broody, single women advertising for men to help them have babies
Daily Mail ^ | 08/18/2013 | EMMA ELMS

Posted on 08/18/2013 6:44:58 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

With their biological clocks ticking, time poor and cash rich 40-something singletons are turning to the internet to find their man.

But these broody women are not looking for a relationship - instead they are looking for someone to father their child. More and more people across the U.S and UK are opting for the so-called 'co-parenting’ relationships – biological parents who have an otherwise platonic relationship, but who both contribute to raising the child.

Emma Elms reports on the rise of the unconventional trend.

WANTED Male co-parent to father at least one child with an attractive, financially independent 42-year-old woman. Must be a fully involved co-parent happy to share emotional and financial responsibility. Pregnancy via IVF by January 2014.

Rachel Hope, 42, is a property developer from Los Angeles. She is attractive, successful…and wants to be pregnant by January 2014. After 18 months of searching for a potential baby father, she has signed up to a website giving her access to thousands of men across the world who, like her, aren’t looking for a relationship, but want a child with someone who’ll take their parenting role seriously. Instead of strings attached, there’s an umbilical cord. ‘I’m in serious talks with three men – one from India, one from Germany and a gay man from the US,’ says Rachel.

Melani, 42, a senior sales consultant from New York, has also joined Modamily.com. ‘Ideally, I’m looking for the whole package – love, man and a child – but I’m also 42 and, although I’m in great shape, my biological clock has almost finished ticking. I need to be as proactive as I can.’ Melani is looking for 50:50 involvement with a co-parent, providing equal emotional and financial commitment to the child.

Any woman who thinks that she does not need a husband is not an attractive woman, regardless of her measurements.

In vitro fertilization, Hell! What is wrong with the natural way of getting a woman pregnant?

Pathetic. Not in the critical way, but sadness for the lostness of these people.

What is the upside of this “co-parenting relationship” for a man? Looks like none of the pleasure and all of the responsibility to me.

You would have to be out of your mind to do this if you’re a man. These used up Hadrians would eat you alive in “family court” and you’d end up paying half your salary to her until the child was out of college.

I suspect it will be mostly fags who take them up on the offer.

The Feminists and most of the left has sold the ideology that you can be completely happy without children.

Perhaps you can live a fufilled life in the church, but we were meant to have children, and most people who do not have them regret it.

Exactly, this is a free meal ticket for the woman unless the guy forms a contract, which will probably be struck down by a judge anyway.

The word, by the way, is harridan.

I do not trust people who chose to not have children. They lack empathy.
