Current Events > I always thought having a kid would suck

(+) Yeah! (+)

But I actually love my little guy. Weird.

Take a bunch of disassociatives, its just your brain chemistry playing tricks on you.

You love them, but it's still a lot of work and worrying.

Most people eventually grow out of dat "i hate kids never want em" phase tbh

I think Id like to have kids if certain aspects of my life were different. But Im in my mid-30s, never had a stable girlfriend (girls dont even look at me tbh), no prospects at an actual high-paying job, and a good dose of big picture anxiety.

Yeah, it aint happening

A little excercise and some self help books for confidence will go a long way. Ive known plenty of older guys who had kids into their 40s and even a 50s. If you do plan on kids try finding a younger woman tho. To lower the chances of a special needs child.

I probably would've had a kid or two by now had my relationships gone differently. So much wasted time, in hindsight.

People always say this but I swear, I must be the exception to this.

Im actually very confident about who I am. Ive never put on an act, pretended to be something Im not, etc. but still nothing. And I never thought I was like super ugly or anything either but yeah pretty much every time Ive asked out a girl, I get the look of horror. Or my friends will be like I recommended you to [girl] but she just kind of made an eugh face sorry

So I think Im just one of those people who isnt meant to date

What kind of girls are you asking out. Girls on your level or above your level

I still think they're awful.

I'd rather be slowly stripped of every inch of skin that I have by a homeless man with a broken beer bottle than have even one.

Some people just aren't parent material.

Kids are hard. And the first couple of months after I had my first, it was really hard for me to grow a bond with her to be honest... I didn't initially feel that instinctual unconditional love every parent talks about.

But now I absolutely love her and can't picture my life without her.

I never really saw levels. I just go for cute nerdy / quirky girls that I felt like Ive hit it off with.

But honestly there hasnt even been anyone Ive been interested in years. My last attempt at dating really messed me up and honestly I think Im just better off not even bothering. Certainly been happier.

I took a long break from dating. Apparently i wasnt interesting enough. I went out and got some hobbies. It was nice for a while. But then you get the itch to be with someone.

That's you OP, your creation made of you, the feeling you got is you loving yourself.

Just wait until they commit a crime, you get sued by the victim and lose your house over it.

I honestly just hate children and have no interest in having one of my own. Babies creep me the hell out, too.

I can see $70 making sense for physical copies of games, but for digital versions, the company makes a ton more pure profit since they don't have to worry about creating and distributing thing thing. If they started $70 physical $60 digital, I wouldn't take issue with it.

No one tell him.

have to be negligent beyond belief to have that happen.
just like that lil shits parents for letting the kid have access to that gun.

I mean, both can be true
