kids

[icey_boi]

That's akin to saying women who don't want children really aren't women.

Some people - man or woman - simply aren't meant to be parents. We see examples of this on a daily basis on the news.

You really do hold some rather ignorant views.

I agree.

What about the ppl out there who CANT have babys because of medical reasons or birth defects and what ever???

Well, its called procreation. When a male human reaches maturity, he has babies. This is how heterosexual species work. Guys that are too insecure/selfish to commit to having kids aren't matured men yet, they may never be.

Chances are.. it's just a choice of life.
Open up buddy.. nothing wrong with your views.. just keep in mind everybody is different and your views don't fit everybodies situation and character.

Im not really refering to the ability to being able to have kids. Im talkin about people who refuse to have kids because they dont want to sacrifice their own comfort. I suppose for some people, life is extremely difficult that to support themselves is full time work in itself.

I guess my point is that if you're a good person, you should pass it on and not leave it up to pregnant teens to keep our population going, I see it as a responsibility to have kids and raise them responsibly. I think people that wave this responsibility are selfish and immature.

Im be an idealist here, obviously if you cant feed yourself you shouldnt have kids, I was talking to a guy the other day who was divorcing his wife because she wanted kids and he didnt. They had been married for almost 10 years and he didnt want to have to put up with kids. They both had good jobs and lots of money. IMO this is the definition of selfish, I simply dont understand how someone couldnt want to have kids, how could you not want something you havent even experienced?

Or realize they are not cut out to be parents in the first place. Some people just know they would not make good parents and for that reason decide having kids is not for them.

I dont relate to these people. I dont really think anyone on this site should either. As body builders we take on big tasks and we understand commitment and effort, we shouldnt settle for mediocrity or substandard living. You have to try and be a good parent, it requires effort.

If you can research workout programs, supplimentation, AAS etc you can handle a small child.

You are a kid yourself. What do you know about living in the real world with real problems?

I grew up in a not so happy household and while I want kids I struggle with it for fear that I will be like my mother was.

Fear of what you will become because of how you were raised is very real and needs to be carefully considered. What I believe to be right and what I have been conditioned to be like are 2 different things.

You have any right to your opinion.. but I certainly don't have to agree with you.

To me, life has tons to offer.. travel, career, cultures, self fulfillment, education, meeting people and sculpting a person I want to be.

Kids are currently not in that pictures cuz I have goals and do not want to set for a mediocre life with a kid and a wify holding me back from FIRST achieving what I want...
DO I want kids? Perhaps when I am 40 or so ... but I don't believe that it refers to whether or not I am a man, lol. It means that I have different priorities, goals and aspirations then you do.

Do you want your genetics to be passed on or not?

I can't wait to have kids. Just got to find the right woman i guess....lol

Im a romantic in all honesty. I want to be in love with an amazing woman and tell her how much i love here everyday, i want my cuddles and i def want kids of my own.

I guess im a family man and even though 90% of my life has been total hell i have a lot of love to give.

Sometimes people who never want kids end up being awesome parents and sometimes people who want children never get the chance
