i think it's bodaciously a biological need that men have most of the time to reproduce. women have the same one but it seems within the past generation or so the amount of ladies who want kinds has taken a nosedive. i haven't came up with a decent theory as to why yet though.


i can give you my reason though. i do not want children. i have never wanted children. i have always found children to be incredibly annoying, inconvenient and way too much trouble for the return you get. i am very particular about my routine, where my things are, what condition their in and keeping it all organized. i have almost never had a good experience with a child in my home, though partially because their parents think, for some reason, that it's perfectly acceptable to let their slobbering hamfisted brat use my thousands of dollars in gaming equipment or other items without asking me first.

but really, the main reason why i do not want kids: childbirth. absolutely fucking terrifying. don't even try to tell me well we have drugs now that numb you I DON'T CARE. i don't. care. i do not want to have to experience that. my desire for offspring has not yet and may never overcome my need for preservation of self. i'm not a weenie when it comes to pain but i don't willing seek it out either.

many people i know have said they felt the same as me for years then one day it just clicked and they were ready for kids. My fiance wants children (way in the future, but he does,) and I'm really hoping that i "click" one day too, because it means a lot to him. He wouldn't force me if I wasn't ready; i am not someone who is capable of injuring myself to make someone else pop flyin' x: If I just can't bring myself to birth a child myself we'd seek out other ways, adoption or surrogates or....something. The prospect of a little, curious, clumsy human i my house isn't what I want to avoid, it's actually having to pop the thing out. I'm not even afraid of pregnancy. Just birth itself. Just.

i don't really want a kid because i know i'm not going to be that interested in it and it'll probably be Tuxedo Mask who looks after it all the time which i don't think is a very healthy upbringing for a child

why can't we have cats instead

Yeah having kids scares the crap out of me too. Be a crazy, sick, unpredictable monster during pregnancy? Go through hours of pain during childbirth? No thanks.

The actual raising of children I don't mind so much, it's really just the actual process of having one that scares me. I feel like I don't NEED to have kids, but I would if my hypothetical significant other really really wanted to. I would definitely suggest adoption though, and we'd have to have a long talk about how scared I would be.

In my experience I haven't known too many guys that were that keen on having kids, though. From the couples I've seen, it just kinda "happens", or its the girl who wants kids because they've been raised to think "Oh I can't wait to be a mother that's what being a woman is all about!" I guess it's a very traditional-family-oriented culture that they grew up in.

Just realized she could've just quickly said "yeah that sounds fine" or "no I'm busy then" or "let me check my schedule" in the amount of time she was on FB

if she isn't purposefully avoiding my messages I don't know what's going on

I guess I'm done

I'm pretty good with kids, but I'm not having one till I get all the crazy out of my system and make sure I can financially support one.
Everyone should try taking care of one if they haven't. Infant, mind you. It'll convince some that they want one and others that they aren't ready. Good learning experience.

The phrase I've heard thrown around is that your "biological clock explodes" where one minute you're absolutely adamant on never spawning kinds, and then the next thing you know it's all you can think about. I think it's biological, but I know it's definitely evolutionary. Giving birth is a process that is the sole reason any of us exist, so while it sucks it must not suck that bad, especially when something like your "biological clock" explodes. I'm guessing we can all think back to a time where we've all willingly done something stupid, and painful for some benefit. Exercise...join the military...ask a crush out...etc. All I can say is that life, not just human beings, seems to have this thing going for it where if some painful thing produces a benefit, there's going to be some way to circumvent the pain to succeed.

For example, you ever notice how shit doesn't seem to hurt until AFTER you've sought out help? That's a defense mechanism. It does the body no good to be in massive amounts of pain somewhere help can't be readily attained, especially when it's that pain keeping us from readily attaining that help. I remember a story where a woman walked for miles on a broken ankle until medevac got there...THEN her shit hurt like hell. As for why?

Endorphins are one hell of a drug, Brian.

If Friday comes around and nothing happens, you're then morally obligated to delete her from your friends list.

And for the future: GET HER FREAKEN NUMBER FIRST THING YOU DICKBUTT!

My stance on kids is that I'd be cool if I was with someone who wanted them and we felt we were responsible enough, but I'd suggest adoption, since I think it's much better to help a kid feel loved than to bring a new one into the world.
No big deal if my significant other wants biological children, though.

To be fair, that's also evolutionary, and in no way something to hold against someone. I know you probably wouldn't, but I've known people like that. "You'd rather spawn another kid into this world yourself when there are lonely kids to adopt!? You asshole!!"

creaky i think you need to like

slow down and take a deep breath and then move to step two

you seem to freak out and want to move at a fast pace with this stuff

just chill or else you'll come off as overbearing
