No no I think it is, why you dodging that question, hmm?
I don't believe in pre-marital sex, next.
But you don't believe in marriage; ergo, you don't believe in sex.
oohhh, nice.

He doesn't believe in ever having sex himself. If other people get married and do it, great. But he thinks they shouldn't do it unless they are married. He never plans on getting married, so no sex for him. Such a philosophy doesn't mean he "doesn't believe in sex."

You know, they do sell masturbating machines. :D

If we let people marry their masturbating machines, why not their pets? Why not bigamy? Why not incest? Why not gays?

And they give me this look "WTH?", I know it sounds wierd but with all honesty I can't find
this joy people get out of having babies and being stuck with another person for the rest of their lives. Things can turn out to be good and that person might become your soul mate, well that's all good, but what if things go bad, and that person becomes your enemy like most of the relationships I see aroud me. Wow children can bring joy to you, but that's not all of the cases that I have seen

I have explained it to my parents over and over, I have no girl in mind I never did and I hope I never will, I am waiting for graduation and then I'll shift things aaround from pushing my self hard to focusing on making myself happy and get all of what i deprived myself from before(I have 18 credit hours each semester and I have hard job but good paying though ) I might also go for a masters degree too. But really I love being alone knowing that I have myself is just more than entertainment for me (yes I love myself that much but I am not selfish ,I do help alot of ppl out too @ college and my neighberhood...family etc)

What's wrong with my logic ? I just want to live, and be alone and my parents don't understand that, I have lots of friends and I am really a normal guy, but it's just as I was growing up I lived for a long period of time on my own and I loved it and loved being responsible for myself.
I would appreciate input from you married guys out there and fathers too, according to what you have read so far and from your own experience why should I get married ?


Nothing wrong with your way of thinking at all. I've been married 9 years (got married at 19) and although I don't regret it, I did miss out on a lot of girls I could've banged if that's your thing. But most importantly, I don't have any kids yet nor do I plan on having any. I also don't see the point in having kids - you just spend all your effort raising them and then they're gone after graduating high school. You could've spent all that time and energy on yourself and community activities and had a much more fulfilling life IMO. I think people have kids to fill some kind of temporary void in their lives or to pass on their genes because they think it's a necessary thing to do for whatever reason.

What are you going to buy with that saved money anyways? Expensive toys? Like I said above, there is no toy on the market that can compete with a thinking, philosophically complex human being. That's why people opt to have kids instead of going for just the expensive toys.

As you get older, the thought of taking care of your aging parents alone, or worse yet, dying alone becomes more and more distasteful.

Marriage and kids are not about money or sex. They're about loving team members, a team that should stick together through thick and thin.

Your family will not live forever, they don't live with you, they'll eventual forget you. And in the end, you will die a lonely old man. How sad. :(

You have sex with your family?? wtf

Only kidding. :D

I can understand why you wouldn't want to have kids, but if you don't believe in premarital sex, why wouldn't you want to get married?

Marriage = fine.

But only a idiot would have kids. Most people have kids unplanned, so they're sort of stuck with them, and they brag about the virtues if having kids only because they love their kids so much, which is understandable. But deep down, most people would be happier without kids, especially because most kids are trouble makers. They won't tell you that, but it's true. But having kids who are very smart and mature and who aren't trouble makers wouldn't be so bad.

I am really not a sex driven beast like the rest of the ppl I see around, I don't have this gigantic desire in me, and I think with my head, (ya the one that is on top not the bottom one like many others)
