I was on a flight from Delhi to Mumbai when the lady sitting next to me said this. She was probably around 50 and seemed pleasant, at first. She spent around 5 minutes (seemed so much longer) prattling about her adult children. She went on and on about how successful her son is and how her daughter just got married at 24 "which is the right age for a young lady to get married" etc. etc. etc. Interestingly, she said nothing about her daughter's career. I didn't ask as I didn't want to give her a shot at another inane monologue.
Then came the inevitable "how many kids do you have?"
"None" I replied.
"Oh! Why not?" She pressed on.
"Don't really like them, never wanted them." I said curtly.
At this she laughed and dropped the little nugget in the title. I looked at her and said "No I don't think I'll want kids when I'm 30. I'm 35."
It took a few seconds for this to sink in. She then looked at my face intently and commented " You don't look 35, I thought you were 28 at the most."
I replied before burying my face in my book "That's because I don't have kids."
Women are biologically wired to want kids to a degree which causes them to intentionally lie or even betray their men. It's all about spreading genes ultimately.
Jose Price
It s not a phase I swear m'am
Anthony Moore
Not necessarily true. Show me the genes that are responsible for spreading genes. There are genes behind skin colour, eye colour, height, immune system ect But there hasn't been found a gene or set of genes that are responsible for the spreading of genes. It's still a valid hypothesis but as of yet unproven.
Jason Rogers
What is it with women and acting like absolute counts when they feel like it? Truly the second gender.

Nicholas Lopez

it's called cum. when you bust inside a girl you're firing millions of genes per second through her egg-wall to mingle with the genes her body has already cloned from herself. out of this soup comes the child.

You'll find no-one really knows how evolution works.
The fact a gene is passed on is happenstance. Genes do their thing against a particular problem, it just so happens that solving that problem gets them passed on. There are tons of genes that are neither deleterious nor advantageous to an organism, these genes get passed on whenever the species propagates. And yet these genes have no baring on whether or not the organism reproduces. Thus: genetic reproduction is not the primary goal of all genes.
Your argument is that there is genetic hard-wiring emerging from XX chromosomes, that makes women want children. Show me those genes.
>The purpose of rats is to make more rats, Ok prove it >There are rats That's not a proof user.
Humans would have gone extinct if they didnt have genes that compelled them to act such that they reproduced. How are you not getting this
Leo Wood
So you end a genetic line with the potential for billions of future existences because you don't feel like it fits in your life plan which for example includes posting on Yea Forums. Sounds legit, you go girl.
Dominic Martin
>You'll find no-one really knows how evolution works. You certainly don't.
Things that don't self-propogate won't exist in the future. Therefore the things that propagate the best continue to exist the best.
I apologise to the board at large for giving another (you) to so terrible a poster.
Gavin James
There are cultures out there that practice abstinence, it's not impossible to conceive of a culture where by sex is a chore. There are thousands of genes coded in the human genome that do not have a role in reproduction. Show me the genes that do.
It's not a hard question.
You all misunderstand evolution it's incredible.
Without being able to provide a specific gene or set of genes to code for a compulsion for reproduction you cannot say that the purpose of genes is to reproduce. Reproduction could just be a side effect.
Jaxson Davis
>t.I'm a retard in denial so I m gonna use some smoky ontology in order to pass discreetly hide some logical fallacies.
>non coding dna doesnt hinder gene spreading, and most likely protects coding dna
>every form of life has spread and evolved from a single cell life form
>A species has no metaphysical purpose, its genetical material programs it to spread.
Lincoln Jones
You are still missing the point user. If humans didnt have genes telling them to reproduce they would have not reproduced, and would not exist.
This sort of tautology is the basic logic of evolution
John White
Is your target demo redditors? If you're looking for the cat lady market, this is very good. The clichés ("on and on" and "burying my face in a book"; overuse of "etc"; "interestingly" to open an uninteresting sentences; using "as" instead of because, and casual use of "inane" and "inevitable", to make the reader feel proud of reading at a seventh grade level; not using semicolons and not spelling numbering when you should, to not make the reader feel bad about reading below a ninth grade level; the overall subject matter and ostentation of travel) are spot on for the overcompensating mid-thirties netizen with poor attachment issues, but you're veering a bit close to satire and I'm not sure you could maintain it for longer without it becoming bathetic in its entirety. If it is meant to be satire of that demo, on the other hand, it's still a tinge too subtle. Consider changing "the title" to "my title" if you want to push it into fully self obsessed satirisation.
Bentley Rivera
Thus: genetic reproduction is not the primary goal of all genes.
It s a vestigial heritage of an organisms past, its role is over yet without its involvement in the past the present of the organism would not exist.
Joshua Bailey
nice reddit post, faggot.
Cameron Miller
>Women are biologically wired to want kids No moreso than men are. We're also biologically wired to want to shove sweet things like cake, ice cream, and chocolate in our maw as often as we can find it available, but somehow most of us manage to refrain. Amazing, right? It's almost like (most) humans are sentient or something (maybe not you, though, Mr. NPC) and can control their biological impulses.
John Gray
What's the difference between purpose and a side-effect?
Blake Rivera
Women cannot see the big picture of the human experience.
Daniel Davis
Just to add, no one has an impulse to have kids. they have an impulse to have SEX.

They have a series of incentives evolved at engendering sucessful descendents
Anthony Sanchez
That's patently untrue since pheromonal and hormonal signalling favours sex when reproduction is most likely in healthy humans.
Jace Hernandez
so what you're saying is, you've never seen a vagina before?
Justin Thompson

Well if you don't care about yourself then that makes sense.
Lincoln Ortiz
SEX, yes. not kids. no one wants kids, we've been practicing birth control since ancient egypt. people through history have smothered their own children or left them in the woods to die.
Jonathan Edwards
What a great fucking Yea Forums thread this is, completely related to literature and philosophy.
Female sexual preferences changing with their menstrual cycles is well-documented.
Ryan Stewart
sorry i can't relate.
Daniel Watson
>no one wants kids Pretty sure we've labelled women who kill their kids and people who don't want families to be some form of mentally disturbed throughout our species. Also, since when has anyone liked condoms?

I've been unironically writing a short story about this for a few months now. It's not the main plot-point, but it has quite a lot of importance to the overall story.
Joseph White
Ok

A lot of people also sacrifice everything up to and including their lives for their kids. Women get purporsefully impregnated by sperm donors and stuff

Pheromonal and hormonal cycles aren't evolutionary biology, user. They're biological functions, but not all of those are evolutionary engines.
John King
I’m 28 and unmarried though I have a girlfriend.
It is too late to have kids. 25 is the cutoff. Same with publishing first novel. This is why our population and our literature is getting shittier.
Cameron Evans
The biggest misunderstandings being spewed in this thread all come from lack of knowledge regarding evolutionary biology, though
Chase Thompson
is this what you whisper into your mom's ear at night?
don't @ me.
Justin Diaz
Come on, user, you want to go against the grain of the normal female cycle, why are you acting so shy about what that entails? We won't judge you, plenty of us have read many versions and retellings of Oedipus.
Juan Flores
That is true though, they do change during the cycle
Joshua Ward
20k overweight 4/10 rostie name calling and bragging with her BA at a community college.
However, you responded to a post about pheromonal and hormonal cycles as though they were evolutionary instigators when the post gave no such indication. Your misapprehension of what constitutes evolutionary biology posts does not lend weight to the argument (You) can tell high school biology from high school evolution.

lol that's cute. the fact that a columbia student is trying to show off about their alma mater....... my facial expression speaks more than i feel like writing right now. please never change. i wouldn't have gone to columbia even if i was offered a full ride. which i was at other universities that make columbia sound like a 3rd world country. except i'm not 12 so i don't need to scavenge receipts for a fucking user l m a o ....
i hope you end up applying to somewhere a lot better for grad school. best wishes for your future.

excuse me, what does this have to do with literature?

Sounds like the point of your short story was to promote your "you should have kids or you will age faster" ideology

Ever felt that feeling when your pee pee gets big? They feel sort of a similar feeling which culminates in them having kids.
Kevin Russell
Seriously though, how can you find meaning in your life if you don't even have enough self respect to care about your own legacy
Brayden Ross
I don't see how legacy has anything to do with finding your own meaning. That's just a spook
Brandon Barnes
Just picture this, a lone 90yo woman, no children, found dead in her small appartement, the TV still on, the last 30 years of her life no one cared enough to knock on the door, no kind words, no one visited her, nothing but loneliness and regret.
I feel sad that thousands of women of this generation will end up like that, it's worse than death
