Is there an age for becoming a father?

Hello everyone. Thanks for letting me join. I'm 35 years old and people I went to school with have become or are becoming fathers themselves. 

Is there a set age where you can become a father? Is there a threshold? I wouldn't want to be too old or think my time has passed by. I'd want to ensure I'd give any child opportunities in life and being physically/mentally agile for them will be one way.

hi,

I don't think there is any fixed aged for when to become a father. think it depends all down to you and if you think your ready for the responsibilities that come with parenting. found this info:

Given the modern industrialized society, somewhere around 25 to 30 is a good time to become a father. And it remains a good time to become a father until about 40

https://health.usnews.com/health-news/health-wellness/articles/2015/09/04/how-long-should-you-wait-for-fatherhood#:~:text=%22Given%20the%20modern%20industrialized%20society,about%2040%2C%22%20Finely%20says.

different sites/resources will probably give different ages. my view is that it's better to father children where you will be at an age where you can still run around and be active when their say aged 10 and under. I became a dad when I was around 28/29.

My son in law was 40 when he became a father.  He is a great dad.  Sometimes younger men aren’t ready for the responsibility and it surely depends on when or if you meet the right person to have children with.  That’s more important than age I think

Mr Ramajit Raghav, 94 years old when he fathered his first kid in 2010, is thought to be the world's oldest father. Two years later, he and his 52-year-old wife Shakuntala Devi had another son.
