      Old dads have a high probability of being best dads (assuming they aren’t shitty people independent of age). A fifty year old man is far more likely to have a stable career in cruise control (read chillin), had his fill of philandering, and is genuinely looking forward to being a father. I always think of Robie Uniacke, Rosamund Pike’s partner and father to her children. He was born in 1961 and the moment he found out he was having a kid with Rosamund, he decided to learn Mandarin and has opted to only speak to the children in Mandarin so that they could be multilingual. That’s the sort of zany shit an older man can get up to once they realize they have a chance to be an awesome dad.

      Or, you could be born to a Trump or Elon. No guarantees.
