So more men want kids than those that don't want?

[Anonymous]

For some minutes, my boyfriend really thought I was pregnant. All I had to do was announce it and showed him the pregnancy test positive. But it was fake, LOL.

Instead of acting shocked, surprisingly he seemed happy and was ready to tell our families. This is when I told him ''Gotcha''. He still didn't understand so I had to explain that it wasn't real. He asked how is it possible, which I explained that it's a fake one that is sold at stores to fool people. Then I couldn't help it but laughed for some time.

He wasn't laughing though and we weren't speaking for some hours. It got silent so fast. So more men want kids than those that don't want?

Since more men are getting away from commiting too much and claim about their gfs trapping them with a baby or having to pay child support, I thought most wouldn't want kids if it wasn't for the woman wanting kids.

More of the GOOD men do want kids and a family. The thing is, most women are not good enough quality partners to have a family with. Too many of them have an unacceptable past, were promiscuous, did drugs, are hateful feminists that are hypocritical, etc.

Pranks like that though can be hurtful and forever damage trust in a relationship. Don't blame him if in the future he doesn't trust you anymore for other things.

Most men do want kids, I definitely don’t. If I ever get a girlfriend, I plan to get a vasectomy so I never have to worry about it.

That's correct. I will never understand why so many women think the "I'm pregnant" thing is a good/acceptable/funny prank. That line can make or break relationships

I honestly impressed at how excited he looked. He really wanted the ''baby''. I thought most men that want kids do it mainly for the woman and that if it wasn't up to us, you guys wouldn't want it. I was wrong.

I'm curious about your thinking behind doing this at all though? What would you have done if he didn't respond as excited as he did?

[Asker]

Say it was just a joke anyways.

Ouch! I’m sorry to hear it. Unfortunately, this exactly what I meant about how the fake pregnancy thing is not a joke to men.

[Asker]

Interesting. He has the same exact reaction as if a man were to play a fake proposal prank on his girlfriend. I know I would be pissed off if a man did that. Then I guess both are equivalents.

[FilmGuy93]

Comparable levels of shitty, to be sure. My general rule of thumb is that any time your joke is fucking with some major life event; you shouldn’t make it. Not unless you already know 1,000% for sure that the joke you’re pulling would be totally cool with that person. And even then; you probably shouldn’t do it

I guess he is more ready than you are for a kid

[Asker]

yeah I was impressed to be honest
He seemed happy for that short-lived moment

[Opinion Owner]

Lots of guys do want kids but with the right partner
