TL;DR Skip the LTR, the divorce rape, and the child support.

I had decided some time ago that I wanted a child, and I wanted to raise it alone, without the presence of a mother figure.

My plan for this was to contract out a surrogate mother, having her inseminated by me, clinically. I would absorb all costs of the pregnancy with a fee of the market cost for a surrogate mother. I would enlist the aid of a lawyer to ensure that all parental rights were solely mine.

I wanted to purposefully raise a child to grow into a good human, without what I've observed as the toxic blue pill disney-fication of young males. The plan wasn't entirely perfect as I would need childcare for certain impressionable periods of the child's life.

I've since decided that I don't want children at all. At the time though this idea was light in the darkness though, as it was an idea nobody had ever presented to me, and I was under the impression that being a father was the endgame.

Treat this as a seed, maybe you want to be a father, and maybe you want to do it your own way, maybe you have a solution to the imperfections in my plan.
