Why do men still want kids these days? (Page 2)

[exitseven]

I was pretty ambivalent about having kids. It would have not been a big deal if I couldn't have any. Once my first son was born I changed my mind. I am really glad I had them. I imagine a lot of guys feel like that.

[NamerOfStars]

Because the humans who weren't interested in having children were outbred by the ones who did. Evolution doesn't stop just because we want it to.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I don't want kids, but it has nothing to do with a lack of trust or worry of divorce, I just understand how much of a hassle kids can be, how much time they take up, how they can destroy property, and that they create... smells... e_o

[lightbulb27]

So we can "spoil them" with fun like we had and re-live our joyful times through their lives.

[strateguy632]

about update extinct. just change the laws about divorce.

[Asker]

What laws?

[steveusna]

Q: "If your trust has truly dropped, why not end the relationship?"

A: "Every woman lies"

[Asker]

Ok, why be in a relationship at all?

[steveusna]

I used to say that the reason was companionship and sex. Now, I now think it is better to get sex overseas in sex tourism destinations (Germany and Thailand) I am a guy who could live with two weeks of sex every night every three months. Strange schedule but it works. No alimony, no child support, no drama. Plus, the flights to Thailand and Germany are relaxing. In the long run , sex tourism is far less expensive than marriage, kids, divorce, alimony and child support.

Evolution means that men who want to have children have more offspring, however intelligent men, like me, can control hormonal and neurotransmitter impulses, and do not seek to have children.

[Asker]

Does that mean your father isn’t intelligent?

[laly520]

can't talk for all men but I can talk about my boyfriend

mainly he wants to be a dad n have family

[SotiCoto]

Last I checked, most of them don't.
I'd imagine the only ones who do are the ones in stable long-term marriages... and I can't relate to those ones at all.

Its the primal need to procreate and keep his blood line going in part that drives them. Other than that society that pushes the idea that Men should have kids.

[Joshydavid25]

I think those might be different types of men.. Plenty of men find good women they wannabe with, and have kids with them.. It's biological.. We can't get past it..

[Unit1]

Kind of beats me. I myself don't want kids.

Other men do it to continue their bloodlines or simply because they want it for the sake of it and leave something behind.

Soon women will be obsolete 🤣 Their purpose would be taken over by a machine instead. Just like how women are trying to make a man’s purpose obsolete

[Anonymous]

There are all types of men. Including those who want to have children with what they day is the right woman and have sex with others on the side. But every of them is different.

[normalice]

They are the only tongs by which men can have any influence over the future.

[genericname85]

because biology pretty much hard wired us to create offspring. if that wasn't a thing, humans would have gone extinct long ago.

[Sugar100]

I can’t find guy that want baby I have different issue no guy want have baby with me

[Anonymous]

Men generally are pretty ambivalent towards kids. They want women. If the women want kids, most men will agree so long as they are in to the woman.

[JayBones]

It's the only purpose in life and the only reason we would waste out time with American females.

[RossyBoi]

I don't want to have children or a relationship so I've chosen to stay single.
