Because there is more pressure on boys/men to conform than there is on girls/women. Just as a quick example - women can wear just about anything they like whereas men are far more restricted.
Yeah, unfair. Could it be because girls are generally prettier and less hairy than men? I do get an urge to wear a skirt every now and then, but so far I’ve been able to withstand it. But don’t fret, I’m probably gonna go to Scotland next year.
HaHa! This sounds like me! I dont want kids either. Heck I dont think I even want to get married! I like being alone, and having everything to myself! Muahahaha!
Um, I don’t quite know how to tell you this but it’s not that women don’t have hairy legs, it’s that we shave them!
Having children is largely hereditary. If your parents didn’t have children, there’s a good chance that you won’t either.
Hahaha, that was great!
Thanks for the sign! =p
Anyways, I cant wait to have kids. When, I dont know, but ill have one, or more someday.
You’re more than welcome. Glad it worked our for you.

No, that’s a good point.
This is an even better point.
However, you’ll never really know if you’ll like something until you do it.
Are you serious? There’s a lot I have to learn! Should I shave mine, then? And make a furcoat. Winter is coming.
Edit: I might regret asking this, but is there anything else about women that I should know?
Don’t listen to Billy he is in therapy, I am guessing daily.
Yes. By the way, it’s quite a thrill to cut off a finger, and eat feces. That’s what Bugman tells me, anyway.
you’ll never really know if you’ll like something until you do it.
That sounds all well and good in light conversation, but the comparisons being made in this thread to unicycling are completely worthless. I bought a cheap unicycle to learn and see if I liked it - luckily, I did, and it wasn’t a waste of money.
However, what if I hadn’t’ve liked it? I could easily put the unicycle aside and continue with my life. This doesn’t work with a baby. You can’t just put a baby in the garage and then, after a few years, take it back out, dust it off, maybe get a new set of cranks for it, and try it out again.
Unfortunately, the mindset of “I’ll never know until I try” that steveyo is describing here is the reason for babies being flushed down toilets, left in dumpsters, and in extreme cases, brutally murdered (for now, let’s ignore the other mental issues associated with brutal infantile murder ).
Jason, I’m much too young and lacking in experience to really affect your life decisions, but here’s my two cents; don’t have kids until you know FOR SURE that you want them. Even if you were to decide early on into your girl’s pregnancy that you didn’t want kids, an abortion is a horrible experience that can easily be avoided if you just wait for the right time.
I only told you that because I thought you would try it.
You will never know FOR SURE.
You don’t know that, you’re just playing off your own experiences.
Add mine to the mix. You won’t. You can only think you will or won’t.
I’m only 18, but I find children under 4 feet tall 90% more puncheable than children over 4 feet. Of course, this experience comes from working in children’s theatre, but that’s really unimportant.
That being said, I require a male child to be my heir and legacy and a female child for uniting families and gaining both connections and power.
Something to think about. Unless you have a brother (which I don’t) the family name could end with you.
Frankly, that concern is passe now. In Australia, one of the major politicians of the day, having examined the demographics forecasts, has been quoted with the phrase “One for him, one for her, and one for the country.” Industrialized nations are well below maintenance levels, and the third world’s birth rate has fallen like a rock years ago; the population increase you see isn’t babies, it’s great-grandparents. We’re about to enter a phase of major depopulation, not because people are going to be killed by war or politics or anything of the sort, but because all the people who in previous eras would have died two generations ago are going to give up the ghost.
I’m still not convinced. If you really aren’t sure, then just don’t have kids.
No one ever is sure they want kids, they’re only sure they want to have sex.
If you decide to opt for procreating (even though you’re not quite sure), then that becomes your path in life. If you and your partner are decent people, you’ll love and cherish your kids and watching them grow and blossom will be a phenomenal experience.
IMHO.
