Men who chose to not have children, how did it go?

[Cold Stout Beer]

Pretty sure I know why you two aren't having any kids. Get a hotel room and have it out already 😂

Kids are tough, probably the hardest thing I've done. The rewards far outweigh the difficulties though.

Pretty sure you don't know a thing. Freedom to be able to pivot to a different woman at any given time with no repurcussions or living the last 30-40 years of your life with an old one that you have zero attraction to. Have fun with that. While you are telling the internet that she's 65 but looks 35, the rest of us will see 65. Period.

There's nothing wrong at all with having kids, but erroneously calling someone gay because they don't want to be stuck for life with one person makes you look unhappy and bitter. And sure you could get a divorce but many of us don't want to go through all of that just to have kids. Dogs are much easier.

No disrespect taken. I think being a father is much like lifting weights. If you’re not willing to go to war and get in the trenches to do those things, don’t do them cause the results won’t be of high quality

I lift weight, but only my own. 💪 Actually, I use the total gym so, literally lifting my own weight. and I am a father. Man, I must be killing it.

When people like you are so nasty about it being done your way or that you're a "real man", it only validates their reason to avoid your situation. NOBODY would be so nasty if they were really happy. Sux for you.

Dang dude, it was not meant that way. Chill

My wife is 67 and looks 35. Believe it or not. I could not care less, I am thankful as my wife is nicer than she looks and she's a looker and can cook. I'd post her pic in a heart beat but too many weirdo's on this site. I am God-given lucky and Blessed....

I’m 48 and my wife and I have been married 17 years and have a 9yo son. I wish we would have had a second, but I also want to retire by 60, so we decided to stick with one.

Having him later worked great for us, as it allowed us to have 8 years of just the 2 of us to do a lot and also allowed us to advance in our careers so we could provide a great life for our son, while also putting money away for our retirement goal.

No right or wrong answer to this one….our approach worked out really well for us….and him.

In other words you outkicked your coverage?

You using chuck Norris' total gym is totally on brand. Of all the people i "know" (virtually or otherwise), I am guessing you are the closest to chuck Norris.

Even though its in jest, I do also mean that as a legit compliment.

lol yeah, first time I’ve been called that

I have no issue getting women, never have. I find most women are great. I just know of a lot of men that complain about the type I mentioned. Looking for a traditional woman these days is gonna be hard

Eastern European women.

Not Czech, Russian, some others like Ukrainian aremuch more likely to be "___s", though there are exceptions of course: everyone's an individual, but that's your best 'bet." I think you are screwed with American women, no offense. If you didn't lock one down earlier in the game, you're gonna be dealing with baggage that leads to ruination.

I am a 6th-degree black belt in Kyokushin and Shotokan, and a third-degree black belt in Tang So Do which is Chuck Norris's style. While never at his level of talent or anywhere near as good, I have competed in tournaments many years ago and still train and help teach once a week with my old instructor. It is the exercising and stretching that has helped me continue to play softball (albeit beer leagues) at 67 years old in the city leagues in Lawton OK.

The best thing for me about the total gym is the stretch and the ease of moving from one exercise to the other. While not building body building type muscles, you can bulk up enough to get some size.

I’m a big fan of Latinas for this reason. Used to live in New Mexico. Been thinking about going back to the southwest. Maybe south or west Texas

I think they’re very attractive and they’re very down to earth a lot of times

It's true. A buddy has a wife from Greece and she's basically built the same way a lot of our mothers were built from the 70s and before: they take care of the house to the fullest. They cook and clean. They have a general sense of how to get certain things done. They didn't spend their free time watching hours and hours of Bravo and the Kardashians. They aren't as helpless as American women.

I love my wife, but I often joke that she came out of the oven a little too early. Needed more time to bake. There's just a lot of life skills that are lacking from modern women. And honestly I bet that applies to men as well.. but the slight difference there is that I don't have time to learn wood working, because I'm walking the dog, cooking meals, helping clean, etc.

It was a joke, hence the laughing emoji. Guess it hit too close to home though 🤷
