Seems to me most people just get some time consuming boring job (unless by some chance the boring job isn't boring to them), get married to some woman who if she isn't ugly or fat already, will be sooner than later, have kids, and that's how the world continues? Am I missing anything?
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
What's the point of life?

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
yes you need to create the life you want. The majority of the human race are sheep. They see and do what the person next to them is doing. they see them driving a certain car and think I need that car. You need to step back and think I'm on earth for a certain time. I can do anything I want.

The answer to life is not '42'.
It's love - children's love, specifically. Your child's love for you, to be exact.
Unfortunately, it's one of those things you can't explain very well, until you have one yourself. Then it is so obvious as to be completely self-evident.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

It's not like there's a shortage of humans. Kids are great if they're yours; I'm sure if I accidentally had one, I'd be very fond of the child. But the best thing I could do for your kids is to not make more kids of my own, so as not to compete with them for the world's very finite amount of resources. Failure to multiply does not make a life pointless, especially in an overpopulated species.
I absolutely love this question. I'll offer my opinion, but I always say take other people's answers, including mine, with a grain of salt.
From a natural perspective, and as DonGorgon said, the basic point is to perpetuate the species...but we have so much time in our lives, and the power to choose what to do with it, so I believe there's more to it than just that. Also, that's just plain boring to me, so I choose to squeeze out more.
Taking it past the biological imperative, the point of life is whatever you want it to be. People will try to tell you how to live your life, but the fact is, if you take a look around, NO ONE actually knows what's going on here. NO ONE!!! Some people have more experience and wisdom than others, but no one knows what this crazy experiment called life really is. We're just thrown into this world where countless people will claim to have truths and "the way", but it all comes down to what you want it to be. You can do pretty much anything.
Do you want to be an agent for change against what you consider injustices?
Do you want to indulge in every pleasure possible, and focus your life around them? Drugs? Sex?
Do you want to run rampant and make people's lives miserable?
Do you want to be a source of positivity for everyone you meet?
Do you want to be a cynic, be lazy, and throw blame around for your misgivings?
I mean, you can literally do anything. Ultimately, I want to live to make my life, and the lives of others around me more enjoyable, because I believe enjoying this crazy process of life is one of its greatest purposes. It sounds like you're beginning to question what exactly is going on here, but that's a great thing. A life without questioning and reflection is a life not worth living.

No point in life per se- invent and creat your own meaning in life and pursue! I am here to have fun and enjoy, see, and experience as much as possible. Once everything is crossed off on my list, I am good...

Truth. If you see your purpose in life as only having children you suffer from a real lack of perspective. The population of the planet is now over 7 billion and growing exponentially - future generations wont thank us for handing them the problems they will face when carrying capacity is reached and there isn't enough food for everyone (there are already many places with food shortages in the underdeveloped world). There are already enough people breeding.
I think we have to find our own purpose, and see if we can change the world for the better.
And no, having sex with as many women as possible in our finite lifetimes is also not a good purpose.
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
"Existence precedes essence." Look it up.
Here's a good writeup, surprising since it's coming from 'about.com'..

Find something to give your life meaning and go do it.
I am a selfish person. Mine is to enjoy each day I am above ground whether it be sitting around doing nothing, helping family members, hanging out with friends or love ones. As long as I am help and responsible, I don't really care what happens around me.
Others can help populate the earth, I am not going to have kids.
