I don't think I felt pressure from my family but I felt the whole "biological pressure" to pass on what I consider to be decent genetics.

Probably why I wifed up someone who was good on paper (& desperately wanted to be a mother) and had a kid with her despite the fact it was not a good relationship (now divorced).

No regrets. My kid is awesome and I'm happier than ever. Just need to make sure if I have another one it's with someone I can stay with for longer than a few years.

While you're free of children, you're able to come and go as you please, don't need a babysitter, don't have to worry about childcare, consistent buying of clothes, food for x amount of kids + yourself and the wife, no sports.....whereas he has all that on his shoulders in addition to a full time job.

I doubt it's all love and rainbows on his end. Lol.

He's jealous.

Depends, there's a lot of guys with kids who are complete failures, but if you become successful but then have no kids, then it'll feel like a complete waste, so you pretty much need both

Yes, you are a failure if you dont reproduce. Your main job in life is to reproduce and then get the offspring to a position where they can reproduce.

Sure this was valid up to a few hundred years ago.

Now days with overpopulation, people who don't have kids deserve some respect IMO.

We are all related though, so if OP has no kids directly, he indirectly has connection with all of our children.

So OP, pay up child support or property taxes.

Housing prices? Lack of social services? Inevitable lack of natural resources? Destruction of environment? Diseases? Urban youth uprising? Automation replacing jobs? We don't need more population anywhere.

Oh and "they" = common sense.

Loling at parents ITT trying so hard to talk chit. Hardly ever see people with kids get worked up like this.

+30 crew, zero urge to have kids, find most kids annoying as hell to deal with too. Not sure if people acting like kids are cute and fun to be around are serious or straight retarded. There is ALWAYS some ghey drama with kids of all ages, until they grow to be 18 when they magically transform into an adult in an instant so I can finally judge them publicly for being worthless, incompetent chitstains like their parents, grandparents and ancestors.

I guess there would be some chance my kid would be the chit like me, but there are plenty of retards in my family too. The thought of beings stuck with the kid version of some of my aunts and uncles... holy chet, I would actually consider post birth abortion. No thanks jeff, you guys have fun fulfilling your ****gy biological destiny, aka polluting the gene pool with your retarded offsprings.

i never cared nor have i bought into the stupid idea of leaving behind a legacy or any biology bull **** about kids or marriage. once im dead, nothing matters. career and income is more important for the life i want. y'all can have fun living pay check to pay check, getting divorced, paying child support, having a ****ty quality of life, being stressed out, getting depressed and all that fun stuff lol

Why should you care about their opinion?

Also being a 5’8” manlet sucks in itself . Best thing to do is not to procreate . Might save some poor child a life of misery
Hope you're joking size isn't really that important. No correlation to how good the sex is and size. Just saying.
