(although part of the joke about Manuela is there's really nothing wrong with her. She's attractive and her personality flaws as presented by the game are quite overblown).
don't lose hope my dude. i've isolated myself for along time, fell into alcohol addiction and drug abuse, developed social anxiety issues, almost went off the deep end into some kind of weird schizophrenic episode (i was seeing faces every where, hearing voices and acting paranoid towards everyone), i even burned bridges with all my best friends, except one. i found a way out and i know you can too, just gotta keep mustering up all your courage, get your hands dirty and push on through the nite. the place where you are now will not be the same for the rest of your life.
That's not cliché, that's your paternal instinct that already makes you protect your (theoretical) baby which drives you to question whether the environment is safe for him/her.Definitely open to the idea of marriage, and I've always felt that if I met someone I loved enough to want to spend the rest of my life with, then I'd almost certainly want to have a child with that person as well. Although, as kind of cliche as it has become, I do struggle with that whole notion of "what kind of world would you be bringing a child into, etc."
Married at 31 and was 50/50 on kids, but wife really wanted to try. We had to use IVF due to medical reasons, and then proceeded to go through 4 miscarriages in the last year.
Tuesday the ultrasound is booked to confirm the heartbeat on attempt 5 and everything looks to be going super awesomely, and I don't think I have ever been more excited.
Really interesting to look back and see how my mindset swung in regards to kids once I found and married my wife.
You can always report you own OP and ask for a title change. :)I just realized I should have made the title "single Era" not "bachelor Era"... this wasn't supposed to be exclusive to men. Whoops. I was just thinking about myself I suppose.

32 and enjoying the bachelor life.
No.
Hell no.
Hell fucking no.
I don't want to share my life with another person. I don't want to be responsible for the next 20+ years for a bunch of kids(s). I was there for my younger siblings and that experience taught me that children are not something I even remotely desire. I greatly value the freedom and independence my single life affords me. Like you do not understand the level in which I value my personal freedom and independence. I know married/with kids people will get indignant and say they have that too, but they really don't if they want to have a happy home life they really don't have the freedom and independence that a single person has.
Not to mention I cannot stand people.

it could still happen! 34 is young. my brother and his wife are 35 and 36 and are having their third kid this year.I absolutely want both. However, at almost 34, I've come to terms with the fact that kids aren't in the cards for me at this point.
I know 34 is young, but by the time I find someone new, date for a few years, get married and decide to start a family - even if I started now - I'd be getting close to 40. lolit could still happen! 34 is young. my brother and his wife are 35 and 36 and are having their third kid this year.
adoption is always a choice of course. lots of desperate kids out there who need good homes :)
The 'union' of families is such a weird concept.No thank you!
I am 32 now, and I definitely don't want kids.
Even marriage is a creepy concept to aim for, when you think about. But people find happiness there too, so more power to yall!

Guessing I'll continue with neither, but children would be far more meaningful than a ceremony.
I'll just get a dog instead.
My mum had me at 40 :)
Wasn't too bad besides having to worry about her elder care in my 30s.
This is where I disagree. If i'm going to raise a kid for the rest of my life, it's going to be mine. I'm not dating single moms and adoption will not be on the table.

i mean... what exactly are you disagreeing with, that adoption is a choice?
For me being 30+ with no kids, adoption will not be on the table when dating.
I do not have a problem with having or not having kids, but adoption will never be on the table.
Just adding my position to this thread
