I did not have kids because I wanted to - Lift weights - Write a great book - Travel - Party I did all of that, and it was great, and don't trust anyone who said it's not. And then I decided to start a family....Which shows me another world.

Once you're a parent, a lot of your time is wiping butts, cleaning up messes. And the emotional needs your partner will have. Moms put INSANE (literally the propaganda fed to moms is absolutely unrealistic and self-defeating) pressure on themselves, and that flows over to dad.

So you go from a bro who can do whatever he wants, doesn't need much cash and can tell anyone to f-ck off....to your time is highly regimented and your child has needs as does a partner. And a parter is where most men go waaaay wrong.

Men get goo-goo eyes for a pretty lady (being heteronormative cuz that's my audience). But my guys, you're not marrying a woman. You're marrying your child's MOM. What you find fun is much different than good VALUES.

Yes I love @ShaunaGee and all of that, but the Western world romanticizes love. If you're going to have children - Does she want to be a mom? - Are her parents going to be involved? - Do your parents share YOUR values? Those are the issues men overlook, and it hurts later!
