Is it worth it?

Some of us never feel that drive to have children. We're just as perplexed at those of you who do have it, as you are about us.

I think most people here would be more open to marriage, if marriage didn't mean automatically giving a woman the power to take half of your shit and your kids if she feels like it.

Kids are worth it.

Marriage is not.

I want a kid but I have no desire to enter marriage. Marriage does not exist in the animal kingdom. It was invented to keep a man from fucking around for all of eternity. This pressure you feel to settle down is just you growing weary of the hunt.

It’s not worth it anymore. Before contraception and the slut generation. Having a family was one of the most fulfilling things to do with life. The cold really is those days are over. Society doesn’t Respect or appreciated a hard working father and mother. What is in it for a man that wants to dedicate his life to his future offspring. Sloppy seconds. Cheating wife. Kids that want to be mommy’s soy boy. And a massive cash payout if she decides to get divorced.

If you have the drive to continue lineage, don’t ignore it or you will regret it. Figure out the best way for you to get there. Do you want a LTR? Do you want marriage and if so can you be totally open about all the shit that is going to change in 20 years for both of you? Do you want to be a baby daddy? Do you want a house and a lawn mower and a swing set in the back yard? It is time to be honest with yourself and stop trying to fit yourself into a RP box. Stop trying to be what you think you should be and be who you really are. Plenty of RP men are married and make it work to their satisfaction because that is what they want.

My marriage was ultimately unsuccessful, but worth it in terms of raising kids. My daughters were raised the right way at least and have a good moral compass despite female nature and the ways of society.

Would I do it again? Yes. But if I had to I would have ended my marriage a little sooner.

you can have kids with a woman without needing in a marriage or LTR but it's all about finding the right one. there's also lots of women willing to raise a kid on their own and just for you to be a "sperm donor". this has its own complications but it can work
