Let's imagine that even if Chris had a job, or didn't smell, didn't have a temper, didn't masturbate to cartoons, wasn't fat, and cleaned up after himself, handled finances decently, he would still be aged past 30. As of now Chris is 39, and will turn 40 in prison. When he gets out of prison, he will be over 50. People in general lose their attractiveness as they age. They wrinkles, and their bodies slow down and are not as spry. The ideal time for Americans to date is in high school, and college. Past that is an age desperation, often highlighted and parodied in movies like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "40-Year Old Virgin". Most single men at Chris age try to find a woman in a bar(which usually leads to disastrous results) or try to flirt and mingle with a coworker(which leads to even bigger disastrous results). Some men would buckle down and find a single mom, though that is completely out of the option for Chris. To partner up a single mom, one needs to have a virtuous demeanor with the intent of raising the child and raising the child right. Other maladjusted but more functional men than Chris may either just settle for a secret blow-up doll, or hire a prostitute. Chris's parents were an example of desperate marriage. Both Bob and Barb were drunk in a bar and tearing up because of their previous failed marriages. They got together because of codependency since they couldn't stand to be alone. Barb was old at 40 and Bob was really old at 52. It should noted that having children when you are old can cause birth defects and irregularities, such as Autism, which is what Chris has. Also, when you are raising children at an older age, you run risk of being "out of touch" with the world. This phenomena can be observed with most old people and technology and attributed to the old adage "you can't teach an old dog new tricks." Old people trying to raise a child will have a harder time connecting with them, especially is that child is neural atypical which was the case with Chris. Bob and Barb could understand or connect with their son beyond a surface level, so Chris turned out the way he is. If Chris was theoretically to have a child, that child would have a high probability of being even more abnormal than Chris. When one becomes too old, they need to know when to fold, and cut their losses.
