Ehhhhhhhh...

Even when she was younger, you could see something in her eyes that was unsettling. I can't quite tell what it is, but it's unnatural. And it only gets more obvious with age (and Crows Feet).

I'll say she was better looking back then, a bit of a homely, plain but not ugly lass. Those recent pictures with the sour puss - that's not resting bitch face, that's full-on just her face.

I think everyone is conflating "fuckable" with "somewhat attractive". We're really just shooting for "bare minimum to complete a nut" here.

Agreed, I’m with “chip” here. Fuckable isn’t a super high bar and I’d have thrown it in her after last call back then. And then ghosted, obviously
Thank you, gents. I can't be the only truck driver here who's been through some lot lizards.

The whole "not having kids so I can travel" is fucking retarded.
I hear my kids laughing in the other room, and it's better than gawking at 50 ancient monuments or eating where the locals eat.
If that's faggy to say then fine I'm a fag.
You can also travel when they're grown. That's when most people actually do it. This chick is seriously just trying to rationalize away why she's going to die alone when her husband inevitably leaves her for a younger woman.

Why not combine kids and travel into one lifestyle?

So I’ll give the alternative viewpoint here.

To start with, I would never give anyone shit who chose to have kids unless they are shitty people just looking to get government handouts.

Having and raising children is a worthwhile endeavor and I salute anyone who has the time and patience to go through with it.

That said, there are some of us who just don’t feel like we’re cut out for it, who don’t want to get up in the middle of the night to care for babies and who have busy jobs and think it’s better to not bring children into that kind of life to be raised by some Honduran nanny.

My wife and I do like to travel but that isn’t the only thing we took into account when deciding not to have kids. Yes you can wait 15 years until your kids are grown up and then travel when you’re 65 or yes you can bring your kids to places with you. That is a relatively minor reason for us not having kids. Basically, we just didn’t want to do it. Some people like to take care of babies. We just didn’t want to and that’s all there is to it. If we messed up and had a kid then of course we would deal with it. We aren’t Tomlinsons. But barring that, we chose to live a life of work and leisure. You can call that selfish if you want and I’ll take it, but that’s the life we chose. I’ve seen my friends and family have kids and it just isn’t something that appeals to us.

You're really defensive about this shit, man, no one here actually thinks anything is wrong with not having kids. We come here to be overly harsh on people we don't like, you're making me break kayfabe.

Thanks for this, bro. My wife and I are probably not having kids of our own, but it's more about age than anything at this point. If she got pregnant that would be a blessing, but we're not trying and don't need it to complete our lives. My sister has three wonderful kids, and Uncle spoils them every chance he gets.
Word, brotherman.

I’ve got 6 nieces/nephews now and I enjoy hanging out with them for an hour or 2. Some day when they’re all a bit older we’ll probably hang out and have a good time. I’ll be able to provide stuff for them that their parents can’t and hopefully they’ll appreciate that. For now I just put money into their college funds.

I hate how some people ask “who is going to take care of you when you get older” as if breeding your own caretakers is a good idea. Fuck that shit, I’ll either jump off a bridge or have a pile of money take care of me if I need it. Most kids just stick their parents in a home once they’re a burden anyways. I can take care of that myself.

There’s just some people who don’t want kids and it’s fine. The faggots make people think everyone who doesn’t want kids must be some freak. Not so. I treat em like gays. If 2 gay dudes want kids, I’m skeptical. Doesn’t mean they won’t be good parents or responsible it’s just odd, since a big perk to being gay is not having any familial pressure to have kids. Straights who don’t want kids are the same way. Odd, but doesn’t mean they’re crazy. Just like with gays the total faggots make the normal ones look bad.
