I'd get my stuff tied now if I could (or needed to).

NO!

First, I know I'd be a terrible parent

Second, I don't feel the urgency to pass on my genes

Third, there is no woman who would be stupid enough to bear my child

I'm not going to get into it because answering honestly would probably get me banned. Let's just say it's complicated.

You know, it's not the only way to get yourself laid.

No. I hate kids, I remind myself too much of my own father, and my own mental health issues scare me, much less a child. Besides, it'd be pretty hard for me to reproduce anyway.

My father was a narcissistic, emotionally abusive piece of s**t. When I get pissed off, I see a lot of him in myself. I may or may not have said on here before that I think you should have to apply for a license before you can get pregnant/have a child, the same way you have to apply and be screened to adopt a child.

I'll also be the first to admit that I wouldn't qualify for said license.

This is a very sad thread.

I do have a child.... she was a surprise to us, but she is the best thing that ever happened to me.

Having children was one of my best decisions. There are worlds I would not have experienced without them. Seeing them grown now only reinforces that original choice.

I currently have no desire to have children. In the future, who knows?

That is a major (though not the major) reason for me.  I was discussing that with a friend and he named it "voluntary eugenics," which I thought fitting.

A friend of mine shared this on FB a few days ago, and seems very relevant to post here:

I'm undecided. I don't really want kids that badly, but I'm somewhat open to it. My wife really wants them. I just really don't like kids that much and had a pretty bad second half of my childhood (through no fault of my parents; I went to a crappy school where I got treated like garbage).

I'll be 27 next week, by the way, so I still have plenty of time.
