I never really thought of it as something that can connect women together. But at the same time I can understand a bit. After all, I've always been curious as to just what it feels like to get kicked in the balls. I can never ever know, and so I want to know. On the other hand, it is possible for me to give birth, and so I actually am not curious about the pain at all.

I'll tell you my great secret, billy. Are you ready?
I have ovaries.
I like kids.
Well actually...
I'm just operating on the assumption that I'm not.
Which is fine, because I am playing video games and they won't judge me.
Well actually...
YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

I'd say that pain is just one of the aspects of motherhood and pregnancy. The pain, as well as body-morphing properties, of pregnancy is one of the things that terrifies me about it. But the sacrifice that women undergo in enduring those, as well as the hormones they endure during the pregnancy and the psychological effects of nursing, are what creates such a strong bond between mother and child. If I did want a child (not fucking likely), I would probably adopt, but I don't believe I could ever create the same bond that I would have if I had a child naturally.
They're like Tattoos, as soon as you get one you want another one. Even though they are painful and expensive and in 20 years they'll probably look like shit and be disappointing.

I can understand the curiosity, even if I don't know that I can pinpoint an area of my being that shares it. For people that thrive on knowledge and understanding, the idea that there is something we can not ever know is borderline agonizing. If I want to know how my TV works, I can hop on google right now and find out and then open up my TV to have first-hand experience.
But if I wanted to know how birth felt, hopping on Google can give me plenty of primary accounts of it and I could approximate how it felt from reading those accounts, but I couldn't "open up the TV and check," as it were.
So for people that are really inquisitive, I can sympathize with the gnawing sense of defeat there. At best, you can approximate something you'll never actually know.

Ommgg why do I find this a good analogy hahahahah
If I was a lesbian I would have a blog called "Game and Lesbian", a play on "Gay and Lesbian". But I'm not a lesbian so I don't know why I came up with that.

A rare sentiment from a guy (it seems). Nice to hear you're not all in fear of babies/the responsibility they entail.

After hearing the woman in the delivery room next to us screaming as if being stabbed with knife in the chest, I really don't want a part of it.
But I get what you mean opiate. My wife has a distinctly physical connection with my son that I just don't have. Part of that, I think, is the pain and such of labor, along with the pregnancy itself. Having a person develop inside you has got to be out there.
We are cutting ourselves off at 2.

I find it the exact opposite with my friends. They're good on two, but I couldnt see myself wanting a child at all anytime soon.
Definitely not ready for it. For one.... I still have a LOT of things to do in life, especially my 20s. I have some goals set that I don't want to fail, a baby would be a massive setback. For one.... Gotta hit my target of $500,000 a year and have at least a house fully paid. After that I'll consider it, but at the moment I am focused in my social life and the business aspect. Babies can come later.
I'd really like a kid after I am 35 and extremely solid financially of course, and at a point where I fully enjoyed my young years
Don't worry man, as he gets older that connection becomes pretty tenuous. I felt the same way until he was about 2.

Yeah I'm not worried or hung up about it, but it is just there. At least we both have balls, she cant relate to that hahahaha!

I don't feel my dad and I had the same connection my mom and I did.
Which might be because he was working in another state for a lot of my childhood. I think we grew in to a father/son thing rather than it just being "Let's go play catch!" feelings from birth.

Come potty training time she will be totally lost.
Use that to your advantage.
As much as I say I hate other peoples kids, being a father is great. Everyday is awesome.
We just watched MLP together, and it wasn't as extremely painful as watching it by myself!
GirlGAF hot list clearly has me at number 1. They haven't revealed it in a thread yet simply because they don't wish to upset the rest of GuyGAF. It's understandable ladies.
On the topic of kids, I want 2 a boy and a girl. Hopefully my future wife will also want kids. I would want one to be from my genes and to adopt the other.

I would want a daughter because I grew up in a family of all males (aside from my mom, obviously).
I think with a son, unless he grows up like me, which I wouldn't demand or force, it'd probably be awkward. Daughters will always be kind of alien to fathers, if my hypothetical son ever asked me to teach him how to throw a baseball I'd probably answer "Aim the crosshairs up to the box and use the D-Pad to select the pitching style."

Don't worry, the father's connection will come when the baby's a bit older. That'll typically come when he's able to identify people aside from his mom.

sorry to throw a wrench in the discussion but is there a thread for matchmaking on GAF as in "Hey I'm in (City X), Male, etc"
Just wondering if there's any girl GAFs in my area of Gainesville

Reminds me of some video about how intelligent people are dying off because they reproduce much slower than stupid people. The more logical move would be financially secure with savings, a house, etc. It's because of that though that the smart couple will keeping pushing the kid further away while dumb people with no concern are fucking like crazy and making dumb kids. The video was funny, my explanation of it wasn't but the point is apparent. I don't disagree with your plans but sometime biology will kick in and you'll want a kid. I believe you don't have to wait for the time to be right, being a parent will come naturally.

You're killing me, ShockingAlberto...
See?! It's a shiny headband that caught the camera flash. Damn you, Ryaaan14!
$500,000 a year... O_O Damn. Well, at least you have a solid plan going forward. I thought I had one, but after 3 years together my ex and I couldn't settle on the same future (me: kids eventually / him: freedom to drink, go out, etc) and I called it off. I've already hit most of my life goals, the early ones anyway (travel the world, live abroad as much as possible, college, cool job), so I'm ready for round 2: raising ninjas.

Teenagers are incredibly simple.
Whatever you say, they hate you and their life sucks.
Now, not to say that's not frustrating, but it's certainly not complicated.

Exactly. Well at least the honest and way brighter part. Some kids are more understanding than others though.

Actually, I think there was one...but it got locked? Not sure if its still up.
Dude, WHAT?
I think this is the best suggestion anyone has thrown out. Your future lady is a lucky woman Billy!
