This isn’t meant to be derogatory but honestly I’m baffled by the amount of people who are on the show who don’t seem to understand simple human reproduction. Like Micheal wanting kids with Angie … umm it’s never gonna happen … a lot of the women on the show are over 40 and maybe could get pregnant naturally but statistically improbable. Seems A lot of these guys have no idea how these things work
I think there’s a difference between “not educated” and “willfully blind”. You don’t have to be well educated to know that a woman in her late 50s or early 60s is unlikely to get pregnant. Even people with zero formal education at all would be aware enough to see that most women who have children have them before menopause and that it’s very rare to see a pregnant 60 year old walking around.
But for the purposes of the show, the cast members choose not to think about that. Even if they are told on camera by a doctor that it’s unlikely, they just brush past that and continue talking about it like it’s a simple process. Even if the cast members did learn about sex and reproduction in school as kids, they would ignore or forget the information just like they ignore and forget information that they receive in the present day.
Or, it’s a segue into wanting a side girlfriend.
Rob in the current season, living in some dudes garage with an outhouse, driving a 20 y/o car that’s held together with duct tape and hope “we’ll just get a surrogate then”. Dude, in Canada it’s illegal to pay for a surrogate, and we have socialized health care. And it’s still usually $20-25k. In the states? A typical hospital birth is out of pocket $25k. Then you’ve gotta pay the surrogate. Then you have the expenses of a newborn.
And yet he’s talking about “even Beyonce and Jay-Z got kids” like dude, they’re rich. And you are very much not rich at all.
It’s amazing the things these people believe.
