I Want to Bear His Children

A Stock Phrase usually -- but not exclusively -- uttered by a woman when she is impressed or attracted beyond all measure by a man. Acknowledged to be humorous hyperbole in almost all situations, although even so there might still be some degree of Ha Ha Only Serious in play. It can take any of several variant forms, including "I want his baby".

A Gender Flipped version -- "I want to father her children", said when an extraordinary woman has the same kind of impression on a man -- has been seen but is quite rare, possibly because Unfortunate Implications can be read into it. And then there's the male-on-male version which is almost always Played for Laughs.

Unlike many stock phrases, this one is actually used by real people in the real world, examples of which can be found with a simple Google search.
