It makes me sad to see married couples in their mid-30s that choose not to have kids.
"Being childless in your 30s is like being in your 20s, except with money!!!!"
Money for what? More stuff? Worthless trinkets to temporarily pacify the dread you feel being a genetic dead end? Can't have a kid because a 35 year old man doesn't have an impressive enough batman funko pop collection to get reddit gold?
There is no material item on this entire earth that brings me more happiness than my daughter. None of them. I truly feel a sense of pity at how misguided these people are, they think they chose to live such a hollow existence, but it's the media that darkened their minds and let our horrible consumer culture become their religion.
Besides, I'm not poor. My wife and I have enough stuff. We don't need more because we grew up.
And no, it's not like being in your 20s. It's time to grow up, nobody thinks you're cool anymore, you don't bounce back as quick from a hangover, you aren't the same.
It's good that you're not poor, but it's a fact that most people are, especially in the US. So, that does lead to eschewing having kids.
Brandon Collins
Being 40 without kids is the same as being dead, but with taxes.
Joshua Perez
That's basically it. Without kids every fucking day would be the same after a while
Jordan Cooper
You don't care now, but just you wait.
John Hughes
Preach brother. Having kids ain’t easy but man are they cool.
Lincoln Morales
I'm happy your happy but I never aspired to reproduce. I want to use my money for other things. Not necessarily materialistic things, but I really want to build and drive race cars on a track for my own personal enjoyment for example. Its not because im trying to flex on bitches with my money, but because its something i always wanted to try to do. My life is not intrinsically empty and meaningless because I have different aspirations. If i ever have kids, I want a life lived well to share with them and to inform my parenting.
Asher Jones
Not at all. Being in your 40s without kids is like being in your 30s without kids, but with even more money. I am glad I never had kids; don't regret it for a second.
Nathaniel Garcia
People who want kids should have kids.
People who don't want kids shouldnt have kids.
Fucking tards making the simplest shit complicated. Do you want neurotic kids raised by psychotic parents? Because idealizing parenthood and pressuring everyone to conform to some arbitary set of social norms is a recipe for fucked up kids.
The only people who should have children are those who are genuinely passionate about starting a family.
Also being a parent literally makes you retarded, it's actual science when people become parents they get slightly dumber (prob combo of sleep deprivation, hormone changes, massive cogntive load of keep kids alive and happy, etc). Plus if you're a woman pregnancy permanently damages your body, its a big fucking decision nobody should be pushed into.
Elijah Garcia
Grew up enough to boast about it on Yea Forums I see.
>people shouldn’t have kids if they think it’s too hard I think you’re about to doom the human race dude.
Chase Davis
lol she'd have been in therapy by the 3rd panel and hung herself in the 4th if this was based on reality.
Jayden Anderson
> Men have a low floor, but a high ceiling > Women have a high floor, and a low ceiling Go ahead, ho around if you want to ladies. Just remember as you sit there drinking a whole bottle of wine and stroking your three cats while watching Gilmore Girls reruns at 38 and alone and starting menopause that you're a strong, independent wyman.
Jack Moore
It makes me sad that having kids will financially fuck the majority of young people in America. Cost of living is atrocious, housing market is god awful, and income inequality is revolutionary France-like.
It’s not that millennials don’t want kids its that we can’t afford them despite doing everything we were told to in order to have a good life.
Parker Fisher
I don't want money for stuff, I want money for travel and experiences, flight time, and high end escorts.
Nobody cares you have a kid. Good for you, but I don't want one and won't have one.
Jaxson Gonzalez
That strip really says it all. I know it’s saying how social pressure to have kids gets annoying, but for good fucking reason. On the last panel, that’s it. You’ve lived your life me me me until the bitter end. Where will all the Funkos go?
Noah Jenkins
Just because you’re not competitive in the dating market place doesn’t mean women are missing out on you
Julian Flores
>literally not what he said
Go fuck yourself mongloid
Angel Johnson
Lol, someone is bitter. Get rejected much user?
Brandon Jackson
Can we please stop blaming dropping fertility on "muh income inequality!"? For one, fertility is dropping across every developed country, and secondly, the countries with the highest fertility rates are poor third world shitholes. It has NOTHING to do with whatever economic bullshit you're trying to shoehorn in. My parents gave birth to me when they were practically homeless and they always tell me I was what motivated them to get off the streets.
You know the real reason fertility rates are dropping? Its because despite the wealth gap, the quality of life of all but the lowest classes of society is actually sufficient enough to provude endless distraction. Decades of dopamine overdose and social media have bred a generation of mental retards.
Brandon Morgan
>go fuck yourself I’d better not, might accidentally have kids!
Carter Young
I made zero comments about fertility rates. I’m saying people don’t WANT to have kids when they hardly have enough money as it is. I’m glad your parents made it work with you but not everyone can do that. Most poor people who have kids just create shitty humans
Jacob Myers
You're really bad at reading
Hudson Harris
Yea, and it's fucking great
Lucas Bell
I'd agree with this. No one wants their children to be financially enslaved by the elites, perpetuating the cycle of poverty.
Michael Wright
This right here folks
Samuel Jones
having a child to finally motivate you to do your own laundry, and EVEN THEN offload it to your stay at home wife, is fucking pathetic. im ridiculously happy without children. if my light blue eyes, blond hair and fair skin die out with me who the fuck cares? i'll get a daughter who breeds with niggers anyway
David Price
Show us your chin pls
Samuel Thompson
More stuff, more experiences. Not just because of more money at your disposal, but also more free time. You don't have to make sure you have a babysitter, you can just go.
There are many reasons to not want kids. Just look up "reasons to not have kids". You can be very happy without them. That's what our sole purpose used to be, to procreate, but not anymore.
"Like being in your 20's" doesn't necessarily mean being reckless and whatnot. I would define it more like being young and adventurous.
Isaiah Turner
> much Either female or zoomer, either way opinion disregarded 20% of the men get 80% of the attention on dating apps. Women are a fucking nightmare to approach on person anymore. Women with their stupid tiktok videos talking about 'if you aint flying me to atlanta for the day dont dm me', and other retarded bios of that nature, even when she's a basic stacy 5/10 muffin top ass broad...Just sick of it. I ain't doing it anymore, I'm not stressing.
Eli Baker
Get fucked, never have or will I post a pic of me on here.
Ayden Bell
You’re seeing the worst of the worst on tiktok because that’s what gets people’s attention and gets popular. 98% of women aren’t like that. I’ve heard that stat before but have never seen a credible source for it. But if you’re having trouble meeting women and you’re not trying to better yourself physically and mentally you’re just bitching to bitch
Jackson Torres
I don’t want to see you’re face, I just want to see how unattractive you are
Made my decision to never wanting kids at 14 and some 20 years later, never changed my mind. A huge responsibility, a financial burden, etc.; no thanks.
Nathan Butler
kids are interesting, just strange that they originate from deep raw sex
Dylan Long
True, I stashed away $200k for the rainy day the mother of my kids changes her mind.
Ayden Collins
That's a bad mindset. I get what you are saying, but for society to thrive, this is a wrong mindset. People that don't want kids should be shunned. I don't want kids, and I think I should be shunned for it. Why? Because of the crescent equalizing factor of today's society. There is going to be a point, were NOT having kids will be a viable option, pampered and targeted by corporations, and encouraged by media. Just like trannis now. And then, out of the blue, the regulations. The laws, bend to accommodate that mindset. And sooner than later, society splits in two.
Joseph James
I bought into the self improvement for a few years, up to and durring covid. I lost over 100 lbs, I got a decent job (15$ an hour which is more than twice minimum wage here) after being NEET, I read a bunch of books and shaved off my neck beard.
What did I get? A fat, white trash girl who spends all my money on food. Oh, and has another bf to boot. She wont even make a sandwich because, and I'm quoting her "That's against my principles" when I have to go bust ass at a manual labor job while she sits in front of her desk all day at home. I'm honestly not sure being in a relationship is even worth it unless you're already one of the lucky ones... in which case, you don't need to "self improve."
Well, if you think about it, our whole existence is completely strange. Floating on a rock going around a burning ball hydrogen.... I mean wtf
Jackson Baker
Based OP, I'm in my early 20s but I hope I can get a wife and children soon.
Asher Jones
The insane thing is, I would be deemed "unfit" to be along all the other clothed monkeys, and be put under locks in a basement, if one monkey finds out I have a monkey lockd in my basement How does that even begin to have sense
Josiah Rodriguez
Very very true
Oliver Thomas
This…
Ayden Campbell
Nobody wants to be the last living person ob Earth. You people aren't anti-natalist for some deeper misanthropic reasons, you're anti-natalist because you're sheltered, social retards who can't get cooch. I refuse to believe people are anti-natalists by choice You can be a misanthrope and still want kids
it doesnt matter whatever having a child or not, except for pieces of shit like you op, who need to brag about something. kys
Andrew Stewart
Don’t be sad, OP. Their genes will die with them.
Those who wish to remain children don’t have any.
Cameron Wright
Natural selection
Jackson Perry
>People who want kids should have kids. Maybe, chances are they probably shouldn't >People who don't want kids shouldnt have kids. I agree
As it is no one should have more than 2 in this world if they are to succeed you need to make sure that you can be available as much as possible for them. Granted once they are teenagers they won't want your advice but it becomes all that much more important that you are there in those few moments that they want your attention
Chase Kelly
Genuinely I’m proud of you for what you were able to accomplish. But if you’re not in a place that gets you better women/a better life then it sounds like you have more work to do. These things take years but with some discipline it’s doable.
Kevin Robinson
Who's to say it was not lived for others but of non blood relation?
Gabriel Kelly
41, no kids, definitely taxes, definitely not dead.
That said, got a multi-million dollar corporation to run, so plenty to fill my time.
And yes, post on Yea Forums, because people are still people, and such.
Isaac Scott
Thanks for projecting your opinion on to me and trying to shame me for not agreeing with you OP. I hope your daughter gets raped by a pack of niggers and dies painfully in a fire.
