Where have you got these statistics from? Men have been having children out of wedlock since the days of emperors and all of their concubines.

First, I don't think this statistic is correct. Where did it come from? Also, "a child who was born out of wedlock" can mean a few different things: 1. A couple has a baby before they get married; 2. They have the baby but they never get married; 3. A married man has an affair with another woman and gets her pregnant (like Arnold Schwarzenegger) I think you are saying that 45% of American fathers did #3, but I don't think that is what the statistic is saying.

crazy? why? one things are facts and another one laws, regulations, morals and statistics. Olga! whats the direct relation between being married and being a dad or a mom? ok, in some places it is more related than in some others. As long as any of the circumstances dont put too much stress on you, it is ok.

Statistically, there are more women in the world than men and most of them are married. So the poll data doesn't sound realistic somehow:)
