What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

• Benjamin shares a male perspective of what it’s like for men in the dating world who know they most likely don’t want kids, but the women they’re dating do. 
• If there's an accidental or unintentional pregnancy, then a man can feel trapped. So he could be very wary of dating, particularly someone who is hearing the biological clock and the ticking getting louder.
• Lisa was clear from the beginning that she didn’t want a child, but that is rare. How can women be up front and honest if they are interested in having children? 
• Biology is so powerful that a woman may not even know that she is looking for the future father of her kids rather than a life partner. 
• What are some of the reasons that men want to have kids, along with reasons why they would choose to not have them? 
• How can men avoid wasting a woman’s childbearing years if he is certain that kids aren’t in the cards for him? 
• Should you wait a certain amount of time to bring up the “do you want children” talk, or should you lay it out right away?
• How do you talk about having kids in a way that sounds inviting to man, rather than overwhelming?
