so many guys are stuck not having that, ignoring the obvious from divorces, there are also the married guys that are terrible dads and aren't there for their kids, then there are those that use work as a way to avoid their kids and so on

the pool of kids that grow up with positive male role models I can only imagine is terribly small

Also many have such a tentative grasp on their own masculinity that they can't teach their sons how to be men.

i mean.. the mental baggage you have to sort through alone, is detrimental to ones growth and progress

@Happy Humble Hermit are you working on developing a game?

There! Found the video!

@GingerSnaps listen close. If you are damaged enough, you get to choose if you want to remain damaged or not. Its not required to be masculine in order to be a man buddy. Sure you may not have the unquestionable structure and stability that manly character is praised for BUT unlike them you are much less likely to trample over someone. This someone might as well be your kid as my dad never figured. You and I have the more gentle nature that lets us be wiser, turn back and check if we were right or wrong. This is the fundamental for a good and open human being, (best parent material). Unlike the authoritarian counterpart fueled by this crude masculinity. Be yourself and when you see someone unsure and without structure tap him on the shoulder and show him what he doesnt see.

@Commanda Knuckel I agree. Well said. I think of myself as a good, open and empathetic human being. And i think i'd make a great lover and father. But sadly most women don't deserve that in their lives. Unlike your conventional/traditional "alpha" male. I don't necessarily agree with being myself though. I strive to be the best version of myself for any given situation. I primarily say that though because "being myself" hasn't warranted me much fruit in my lifetime. In the sense of always being true to yourself and what you believe in though i will agree that you should always be yourself.

agree, btw on the 1st part of being yourself. Im not just sitting here being myself. :D
i started training this friday for better body, i am having a board (the brown ones you pin papers on) here on which i pin tasks and obsess over removing them (i lied myself to get to work so nicely), i practive the vocabulary, the gestures and everything else that shapes me the way i want to be.
I have the options for a woman and so on but i find it very bounding. Because a woman expects you to behave a certain way and do certain things which is not in line with my idea for myself and the conditioning she will impose on me will deter my own development. SO nothing lost there as far as im concerned.

But at the same time bitch about how you changed.

"you are no longer the one i fell in love with"

agan, no real benefit to a relationship if u get past the companionship thing

Well, people get married to have kids and have someone to raise the kids.

Though having kids is worth shit.

let some other sap make that mistake

id rather have a man and say we are gays and raise kids from surogates instead of doing that with a woman 😄

theres more to life than having sex with women and having children

Might actually be better to raise men in like a commune or some shit.

She's not yours, it's just your turn

This used to be a thing in India.

@ColdEmbraceOfDeath keep it family friendly and cozy with ammount of family members arround 2 😄 BUT having a few dudes with their kids arround could be so enriching in terms of childhood

Japan still has male-only and female-only schools.

when we go on vacations we still have male only and female only sleeping quarters (im not even kidding these bichies are so spastic its unbelievable)

0 fun time

i never went on a vacation second time

We pretty much have Co-Ed schools mostly.

just so you know i check on this place at least once a day every day so i can bring back my hope for intelligent human beings existing

hope is for the doomed

I spaced out for a short. But on the topic of marriage, surrogates, and artificial wombs i can't wait until i can afford it or even better they finally mass produce companion ai robots and artificial wombs. I'm actually thinking of investing a decent chunk of my upcoming inheritance into R&D for those two things. I want a son, but i don't see it happening unless i hire a surrogate or find an artificial womb.

i have the option of a maid and she giving birth like some 18 century lord because we here, are very poor

More power to you then mate. It would be nice to be that wealthy. Then again "mo money mo problems". I sit corrected i found a website where you can buy AI sex dolls or dolls without AI. Pm me if you want the link.

any foreigner is this wealthy for our standart 😄

Sex dolls currently don't have AI.

AI sex dolls but without AI?
