Guys: Could you marry someone who couldn't give you kids?

[Chrissi]

I wish I had something better to say, but I'm tired, I just woke up, and I agree with Kefit 100%.

[Privateer]

I never want to have kids. I'm not going to change that decision. Ever.

I would seriously not marry a woman who couldn't live with not having kids. If she wanted to have kids eventually or something, I wouldn't marry her.

Mark my words--I will be fatherless forever. There is no doubt in my mind that I will never have any younger responsibility of mine living in my household. Call me cold, but that's just what I think.

Whoever the hell said the preference to not have kids is going to lead to the downfall of a country should just die.

[TheTypist]

I live for myself. I know that this makes me selfish in the eyes of many. But I really don't give a damn. My life is mine to live in whatever way I choose.

Now if everyone said that when the country was young, (younger than it still is,) do you think we'd be what we are now? No. But do you care? No!

This attitude will be the downfall of our civilization as we know it. (I never get tired of saying that )

How will the truly great leaders rise if they are surrounded by those who only wish to satisfy themselves, with no interest in the greater good? How can this great nation go on when the people running it are people who will use their power just to further themselves for their own pathetically short lifetime??

Oh, gloom and doom! There are thousands upon thousands of Americans with the exact same attitude as Kefit! All those with an ounce of vision will be forever diluted in the poisonous stew that was once the American melting pot!

The generations are recklessly bathing in the freedom that countless people died for, the freedom slowly being abused and tainted.

Oh the humanity!!! Our posts will somehow be reloaded thousands of years from now, and the people looking at it will be like, "Oh, look at the poor mindless fools living on that continent in the 21st century. How they lived for themselves like mere animals. How they couldn't grasp the sense of purpose for a common cause. How they spent their lives in pointless folly. We are all lucky we're not living then."



Ahhhh, that's enough.

TheTypist: Please supply me with whatever hallucinogens you are taking.

They sound quite good.

As long as the chick was honest with me about it, and we were in love, it wouldn't be an issue.

[suicidalmuskrat]

i wouldn't care...and whoever said that they don't want children because of overpopulation is silly...especially when they also didn't want to adopt...how does that work? overpopulation isn't really a problem in america, so assuming you aren't accessing this sight from a 3rd world country, you have nothing to worry about...and YOU personally having children will have no effect on world overpopulation...so if you can really live with yourself knowing that you're not fulfilling a fundamental obligation of human existence, have fun.......But yes, i would still marry, and would adopt.

You see What I would do is first I would get to know her then I'd be giving her a chance to decide what we want to do if we were together and were married. Of course it could have a nice spin with the no pregnacy but it wouldn't be nice because you wouldn't have an offspring of your own.

The body(female) is designed(by whom) to have children at about 14, and then to never not be pregnant. They are learning now that having so many periods is terrible for women. Being pregnant all the time also pushes back menopause, which is about when men die(of a heart attack, or something, maybe cholesterol), because they have served their purpose.

These aren't my beliefs. I do not intend on maliciously impregnating my spouse. haha.

Just as an interesting side note. All humans start out as female, then the y chromosome kicks in and tells the body to make lots of testosterone. bing bang boom, genital resituation, and you have a boy. Side effects though, if a man stopped making testosterone, he would die, but it is the subtle damage of it that causes men to die 5-7 years earlier than women.

Also, It has been my experience, that later in life, women emotionaly dissolve without children. There is no doubt that it sucks for men, but there is hormonal and genetic needs for motherhood in women.

It has also been my experience that after having children, a couple's love is shifted to the children. Like If a couple never had kids, they would have been married happily for life, but when they do have kids, as long as they are still shildren, there is nothing more important than the children. Probably alot of divorces from love-shift.

In conclusion, I am tired, I made some stuff up, and please remember that nothing is ever always true!

Nightstar... please...stop bringing back old threads!!!!

The way i figure it, the more i breed the fewer Darwin Awards will to be handed out.

[Brainmaster07]

Admittably it would be tough, extremely tough to never have children of your own. I know I used to always say I never want to have kids and they would only be annoyances... but think about it, having your own child is one of the biggest steps in life. I would still marry someone who couldn't have kids if I loved them enough, but it would take quite a bit out of me, even with adopted children it wouldn't replace that feeling of having your own.

Eh, I know what I mean even if that didn't make much sense. It is past 3:30am anyway.

Guys: Could you marry someone who couldn't give you kids?

Yes, easily. I see marriage as more of a commitment to the other person. It's about love, not about whether or not the person can bear your child. That's just an added bonus IMO.

[LostUserName]

an idea appears! Many a time I have been told the reason gays should not be allowed to marry is because marraige is for the creation of family. For parents to create life and to raise a child. how this relates? If you cant create a child with your wife then should you be married? hmm
anywho, marriage in my opinion is as others have said, all about the lurve. I have a strong desire to have a child of my own and the experience all the emotions of having a pregnant wife (I have a funny feeling like I will regret saying that or that my opinion will change when I have a pregnant wife) but for now the bubble is not popped! But I could live without it, I could adopt and I would deal with it by saying "atleast I dont have to deal with diapers thank god." ;D

[User6773]

In response to the question, no. I couldn't. I want kids, I want kids of my own. But in addition to that I also want to be able to see my wife through her pregnancies and experience the miracles of conception and birth, etc.

Call me selfish, but adoption just wouldn't cut it for me.
