I'm 30 and single. No plans to marry anytime soon because I'm too picky and I'd likely have to quit my current job if I settle. Precautionary advice for those hitting 35 and wanting kids. Freeze those boys up. Your fertility rate and sperm quality falls off after that age. Harder to get pregnant and higher chance at having kids with the Downs. This might make some of you icky or uncomfortable (i know i did when i was 28), but that's the price of freedom and the pollution of the modern age. Stories are increasing about 40 yr old couple spending 10s of thousands at fertility clinics with no guarantee the kid will end up fine without a host of anxiety problems, allergies, asthma, etc... I don't want kids anytime soon but that's enough to make me consider some insurance policies right now. 1-2 grand isn't that much if you think in that scheme of things, though forcing to think in that scheme if things isn't every ones cup of tea despite the blindingly obvious facts
1Gina, losing half your ****, losing children or only seeing them part-time if you have them and get a divorce. Of course that can always change if I truly find " THE ONE " but I always find myself asking if there really be only one? So many temptations.
I recently had a lesbian friend, who realized she was straight and lesbianism was a fraud after sleeping me, ask me for my semen because in her words... "there need to be more honey bears (not my real name) in this world." I thought about it and decided that test tube babies just don't come out right. It's breaking the genetic code. Don't do it man. Pollution in China is far worse and look at Jeremy Lin.
Still sounds like the drawbacks aren't due to marriage itself, the act of officially signing off, but rather two people making a bad call on their compatibility. If you have a gf for 15 years with kids, aren't you still going to lose half, pay child support, and share custody? So, there are no drawbacks to marriage itself. They are drawbacks to settling or not being honest with yourself about how compatible you and the other person are.
Here is the question nobody is asking. . Spoiler do you always have a creepy doll in your car or did you bring it specifically for this conversation? I'm creeped out either way.
It's my child's doll that was left in the car. I wanted to have something else in the picture to prove that I was outside Batman Jones' house.
neg rep that's poor taste, brah. not a good joke -- sick actually and no, there's no hole in the mouth
My problem when looking to settle down is most worthy women already have kids... and it is tough for me to swallow being a "step dad." First of all, I'm 34 and can't fathom being a dad, much less being a dad overnight to 2-3 kids up to their early teens. I know you're never really ready to be a dad, you learn as you go... but ****, that sounds like a lot of work for kids that aren't mine. With that said, I would probably marry a chick with a kid or two already if she was right for me but I do want kids of my own which reduces the pool of MILD (mothers I'd like to date) further, as if they have 2-3 kids, extras are usually out of the question. Also, I had a step dad and the whole dynamic usually sucks. TL,DR - At 30+ dating women with kids is too much damn work.
LOL. Maybe rocketsjudoka could do something useful...and tape the whole thing, instead of "mediating".
