I had a job after I retired where I worked part-time among a large group of young women. Some of them were despairing of finding husbands and speaking about getting baby daddies. I opined I was a perfect choice because.

Kid would have Social Security from birth.
Already married, so I wouldn't stalk them.
Brothers and sisters have kids old enough to babysit.
When the child was old enough to ask about me they could honestly say, "Oh, he's dead."
