I'd say for me there's a difference between entertaining and actively seeking such a relationship, and I'm certainly not doing the latter at this point. I did hit a point where in a way I look back and wonder if I should have had a family, and I think many do at a certain age. The shriveled up cat ladies even more so than men. I don't have any real time where I set aside a real solid option in the past that would cause regret, so it's not something that bothers me. I do think most men at some point in their life seek a connection to the future, and for me that's my nephews and a close cousin all of which are probably the most important family members to me.
