What does narcisism have to do with this thread :confused:

I pointed in more than one of my posts that stereotypes in both directions are stupid, so why bother?
THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO POINT OUT TO ARMASTER WITH MY EXAMPLE (and my post even had a ;) to clarify things for the more thick-headed ones), WHOSE VENOM-FILLED AND ALLROUND-GENERALISING POST YOU SEEMED TO COMPLETELY OVERLOOK AND INSTEAD FOCUSED ON BLAMING ME FOR GENERALISING.
Fuck, have you lost the ability to understand what you read? Or is my English that bad?

But you don't have kids Vas so you just can't understand.

While I'm not voluntary childless, I can easily understand people who don't want children. For many years I couldn't imagine a child in my life and that only changed slowly. I don't see that you can actively do much about wanting children or not and making them without wanting them is surely not the way to go.

BTW, my wife and I call people who don't have kids "DINKS" - Double income, no kids. Usually when they don't understand why we can't just drop $2500 for a widescreen HDTV, or "just lease a car." :rolleyes:
I feel like I'm missing out. I don't have kids OR enough money to spend that much on a tv or lease a car (or even have driving lessons) :rolleyes:

I would like to get a better job before having a baby, but whatever happens I am a pretty resourceful person. I could write a fucking book on the shit I have overcome and came out better for it, and kids seem like a cake walk comparably. Plus, I am a big kid myself, and kids flock to me. I instantly revert to my Elementary school years and get on the floor and play whatever game/toy/etc. My neices and nephews and young cousins always ask "When is cousin Ben coming back, daddy?"
My gf thinks I would be the awesomest dad in the world. I would have to cut back on the beer and late night fishing trips, though.

I'm just not the parent type. Clearly. With this laundry list of character defects, all the mistakes I've made, largely public.
Inner voice: Just stick to the cards.

People not wanting to procreate depress me. Please leave.

As an Englishman it is my duty to impregnate as many Scottish women as possible to breed them out.
And also to practice archery (But that part is probably irrelevant). Unfortunately, what with the child maintenance laws and payment these days, I'm internally conflicted. Besides, Scotland is so cold. Let 'em have it, I say ;)
Seriously tho, I'd love kids. I'm 31, and we've uh, pencilled them in before I'm 35. Don't want to be an old Dad, I get grumpy enough as it is without having teenagers snapping around my ankles when I'm 65.
Shit, I need to move to a bigger house. BRB
