You obviously don't know what you're talking about when it comes to vasectomy. The whole point of kids is to make your own, as a legacy and as a way to carry on your genes like your ancestors did for god knows how many cycles to get to the birthing of your ass. A vasectomy is for when you've already done that. You can do a reversal once afaik.
Adoption is so meh when it comes to fulfilling your purpose as a man.
Your point about not making your life miserable over a woman who isn't worth it is valid.
How quaint. My life has been nothing but pain, suffering, and overall a pile of sh*t. Any kid I have is probably going to experience the same -- my whole family is cursed.
For me, there's nothing to carry on. I have no desire to see a little-me running around, I would rather have my family line end with me.
For me, living life is about
living life, not finding the right woman to attach myself to and procreate -- the world is getting worse, and I'd honestly feel bad bringing anything into it.
A vasectomy is an option but who knows if I'll change my mind. We cannot predict the future, today. So for now I'll just take active measures to prevent pregnancy.
For you, procreation might be important. But how much of that is what you really want, and how much is social programming? What legacy do you have to carry on? Who can guarantee any child that you have will even be capable of carrying it, or sucessful in your eyes?
Really pointless to answer those questions, to me, though, since your free to live the life you wish to live. But I personally, am not a gambling man and see no desire.
I'm happy with myself, with my own money, and not having to pay for dependants for decades to come.. I'm going to live my life, to the fullest... and die alone, and happy. (Most likely)
