Males and Females

I would think you could do it for $200-$250. That's expensive, but not quite "extremely"

That sounds about right, but yes, I consider that extremely expensive, for that much money to vanish to fund one day that will mostly consist of driving. Doesn't pass the cost/benefit analysis relative to income.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Yeah good point. Well you could spend a night or two at grand canyon village, i guess that would add an extra 150-250 per night though...

 

[Dak]

I would say my biggest regret at this point is not doing more traveling before I had kids. Until they are old enough to actually enjoy it to, traveling certainly is a major drag economically, physically, and mentally.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I've never understood why so many people have kids. To me, having that much responsibility in my life is unthinkable. I'm too individualistic and goal-driven.

 

[Dak]

I'm certainly individualistic (some might even suggest hyper-individualistic) and goal driven. My goals just included kids. Falls under my beliefs about personal responsibility.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Why do you believe in personal responsibility?

 

[Dak]

Why do you believe in personal responsibility?

Why not?

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Because responsibility is a pain in the ass and i'd rather do something meaningful with my life than have it full of responsibilities?

People do non-fun work for a reason - you can't just say "why not" to justify doing it.

Immortality, in a sense. I don't want children right now as they get in the way of other shit you want to do most times.

I don't consider abdication of personal responsibility a sustainable path, regardless of the subject. I don't regret having kids. I regret wasting opportunities prior to that.

 

[PhlegethonVeins]

Funny, i'm just as stressed as ever, if not more so, yet my sex life is far far far far superior than it has been ever in my life.

I WANT A BABY

I've noticed the poorer and dumber the girl, the higher the likelihood of her wanting "a BABY!"

 

[The Butt]

Fortunately, I managed to meet a smart girl who claims to "never want kids".

Unfortunately, I don't think she likes me like that. FUCK

 

[Vimana]

Evolutionary drive.

I never want to get married or have kids. The closest I'll get is adopting, but I've heard that it's hard to do for a single man. If I can't adopt without getting married, I guess I'll just go without children.

 

[Zephyrus]

I don't want kids, but I do want to get married. Then I'll have kids if the only alternative is divorce.

You're gonna make a great father.

 

[SentinelSlain]

I think you probably would be ok at it because you're well educated. You seem to occasionally make some shitty decisions though. No offence.

 

[Episteme]

My ex-girlfriend had the mindset to adopt a child from a third world country instead of having her own children, she sees it as saving them instead of overpopulating the world with our own spawn selfishly.

I don't really care, I don't like children either way.

 

[SentinelSlain]

That hot irish girl agreed to go out with me. I feel all overcome and gay. This is awesome.

She sounds awesome.
