- fatas, on 09/08/2008, -4/+57lot more appealing than getting married to a gold digging wife that will use the custody of the child as a weapon against you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_N3CK-6CHk - benologist, on 09/08/2008, -11/+49I can relate to that. Just because I can't find any permanent parking for my ***** doesn't mean I want to be an old man when my kids are finishing school. If there's a way to have a kid without the hassle of finding a woman who'll put up with me...
- Spuy767, on 09/08/2008, -3/+28I love being in Georgia. Here, for a woman, getting married is a ticket to half of the man's *****, no matter why the relationship split. I had a friend, he work a decent job from home made just shy of 40 grand a year, put his wife through school so she could go out an be a big career lady. Had two kids, since he worked from home, he took care of them, did all of the house chores. She got a job as an accountant somewhere in Buckhead. She was making well over 70 grand a year. After nine months or so, she starts ***** her boss, gets a divorce, gets the kids, and he has to pay child support. Men get deep dicked in marriage. Marriage should not exist in its current form. *****, I think it violates the first ammendment. At its heart, marriage is a religious ceremony, and forcing people to be married to qualify for certain aspects of things like tax law is basically the state promoting religion.
- Dralite, on 09/08/2008, -1/+26great... Kids without all that pesky sex...
- ericjohnson0, on 09/08/2008, -4/+24I think more than a few men want to be dads and love it. The problem is Woman+Marriage+Children= Slavery.
Meaning under the current laws if you build a family and she decides to go shack up with the mailman, you lose Everything- everything.
Social standing, credit, house, career, and of course those kids you love.
The laws need to change or else men will keep tuning out on the idea of marriage. But I will say as a single dad, kids are cool. Really.
As a side note, two of my favorite articles on the subject are:

Child Custody: The Glass Ceiling for Men
http://www.intellectualconservative.com/child-cust ... - fabriciom, on 09/08/2008, -2/+22Number one cause for divorce is marriage.
- kirado4, on 09/08/2008, -1/+19Anything that means more equality for men is a good thing.
- GeekSpeaker, on 09/08/2008, -5/+22I totally get this story, since I don't see myself with a wife but I do want kids.
- freezeout, on 09/08/2008, -2/+16looks like women have managed to pussywhip their way out of the equation
thanks Oprah! - benologist, on 09/08/2008, -8/+22I say many things that are cutting edge comedy. Some sluts can't handle a sense of humor like that. It's one of the many genetic defects of their kind.
Also weak arms. - b8man99, on 09/08/2008, -1/+13A dog is the usual option for single men.
Personally, I couldn't handle kids without a partner. I'd be too scared. - benologist, on 09/08/2008, -3/+15If we all sat around waiting to find the right partner and beat the growing odds that the marriage won't fail so we can provide a complete family for children, we'd go extinct.
The plus side to a man having a child alone is that it can't be unexpected or an accident. It has to be planned which probably gives the kid a better start in life than 1/2 the world anyway. - ChinaLumberjack, on 09/08/2008, -2/+14I have seriously considered this myself as well.
- oldhick, on 09/08/2008, -3/+15More single parents... Just what the US needs!
- CaptainShaun, on 09/08/2008, -2/+12Great, now I'm marginally less depressed by the idea of living without finding a true mate. At least I can have a child who I can force to love me.
- inactive, on 09/08/2008, -0/+10its impossible for a human to impregnate a dog
- inactive, on 09/08/2008, -3/+12Marriage has nothing to do with raising kids.
The bad side would be that you won't raise your kid. Other people will.
How are you going to work and take care of a kid at the same time?
Humans aren't dogs.
I don't think we have to worry about extinction with 6.7 billion people on the planet. - jianningwu, on 09/08/2008, -0/+9*pulls up bar stool
Soooo, I hear from some drunken Jim Beam enthusiast that you're recently divorced and cute.... - ChinaLumberjack, on 09/08/2008, -2/+10"cutting edge comedy"
Oh god, I burst out laughing at that one. - joauri, on 09/08/2008, -2/+10I seriously came across one of these guys on Saturday. He was a friend of a friend. We were sitting at the bar and he starts telling me that he would love to have a kid, but no wife. (I am a recently divorced mom of 2) I asked him if he was serious or drank way more Jim Beam than I had noticed. He said he was serious. Then he looked at me, said "You're kids are cute. I'll get you pregnant, you keep the kid until it stop ***** on itself, and then I'll take the kid and you can go along you're way."
Needless to say, I told my friend that she keeps odd company and I'm not drinking with this guy anymore. - stubster, on 09/08/2008, -1/+9I agree with that, not sure I'd want to be a single father though. The U.K Laws don't aide single fathers like they do mothers.
- inactive, on 09/08/2008, -0/+8In roughly 40 years I have decided that everyone is damaged goods, well except for the people who are good at feigning being well adjusted, they are extra damaged goods.
- TheOther1, on 09/08/2008, -8/+16The fact that he thinks marriage = permanent ***** parking shows he has never been married...
- Jonsey, on 09/08/2008, -2/+8all these grammar sucks
- MadeOfStars, on 09/08/2008, -1/+7Never getting married. My first child will be a piece of AI software, when that technology becomes feasible in 20 years.
- inactive, on 09/08/2008, -2/+7marriage is when you park your *****, permanently.
- poet, on 09/08/2008, -1/+6Where the ***** is the relevance of your comment?
I wish someone would just banhammer all these space-wasters. - anillop, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4Sounds like your friend had a ***** lawyer. There is no reason he should have support payments if he payed for her school and is raising the kids the money should be coming from her to him. Next time don't pick your attorney out of the phone book.
- ericjohnson0, on 09/08/2008, -1/+5Sorry, I've lived it. I believe in marriage but what the government has done to it is awful.
- MOJIRA, on 09/08/2008, -1/+5"great... Kids without all that pesky sex..."
... with adult women.
Just making that clear. - funatwork2, on 09/08/2008, -3/+7I wish that's the way I had been born, without my crazy mother to traumatize me. I hope this practice becomes more and more common with the newer generation.
- ChinaLumberjack, on 09/08/2008, -0/+4What happens if you only get daughters?
- b8man99, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3Sounds like a challenge to me.
- HonestAbe, on 09/08/2008, -0/+3I don't want kids at all, thanks.
- SK23, on 09/08/2008, -6/+9Shut the ***** up.
- phillymozart, on 09/08/2008, -2/+5If you can't go through the trouble of finding a woman to love, getting her respect, committing to her, and making her feel safe enough with you to carry your child for 9 months (sometime more than once), than I don't want you reproducing.
- springboks, on 09/08/2008, -2/+5Just last week there was an article on digg about how twenty some year olds still live with their parents (record numbers of them). This is pretty scary, that these presumably young single men, now want to father a child. Delightful, all we need is more damaged children in our society.
A child is for life! You can't return it after Christmas! - cherrick, on 09/09/2008, -0/+3You seem to be operating under some strange assumption that in a two-parent household, one parent will forgo work to look after the children.
- inactive, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2Nope.
- orlyfactor, on 09/08/2008, -1/+3If what dudes at the office say is true, it's very rare.
- BetterOffEd, on 09/08/2008, -1/+3I didn't say that.
I just that I find hard to believe that a man *wants* to be a single parent. - inactive, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2i'd be down for the getting you pregnant part, then around month 8, having you 'going along your way'.
- HonestAbe, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2???
- Dalrek, on 09/08/2008, -1/+3This really gets on my nerves. Why do people bring politics in to something that isn't politically based? You can disagree and say it's destroying families all you want, but to say it's left propaganda is ridiculous.
Also, her sources are the census and first hand accounts from adoption agencies and a professor, all of which are appropriately mentioned in the article. Not cited like a research paper, but it's in the Fashion and Lifestyles section. I think we'll live even though they left out the parenthetical documentation. - HonestAbe, on 09/08/2008, -1/+3Why in the hell would anyone *want* kids?
- sndream, on 09/09/2008, -0/+2"Now, with fertility technology or adoption, men are becoming single fathers"
Wait till male pregnancy is a reality and don't need any surgery, then we will really see the wave single fathers. - BetterOffEd, on 09/08/2008, -3/+5I find this hard to believe.
- nofate2029, on 09/08/2008, -2/+4From personal experience, I know the stress of being raised by a single father, and I learned first hand that it was intense for my dad. I, personally, want a full functional family(wife included) so my child can get the loving attention from both parents.
- mrbungleface, on 09/08/2008, -0/+2so sad......... but true.... young single woman love the daddy dick... I was a father at 19 and yah.... I found it sad how i had to beat other girls my age off with a stick cause i was so "mature, young, handsome, responsible and a loving a father" everything they could have dreamed of....... but who are they fooling.... I was a irresponsible dick head, ***** enough to knock up my girlfriend in my teens and break up with her soon after....... I was THE WORST
But trust me.... with the amount of baby mama drama a single man gets for just wanting to be a single father or atleast a partner in raising the child..... Woman do not let that ***** come easy for men.... hell no.... I had to fight long and hard inside a family court room, hire lawyers, attend court dates, create a case and have proof that I wanted to be a father..... I sued my daughters mother and payed my own court fees, child support and insurance..... BEFORE I COULD EVEN BUY BEER lol......
in the end.... being a father is the greatest gift on this planet.... all the stigmas are true.... its worth it, and its nothing but a joy when you are with you child... through the fits, ***** and giggles.... you love it more than anything....... so to all these single men... gay or straight..... on behalf a proud single father..... CONGRATULATIONS
an easy way to side step the drama hahahahahahaha but ill admit... surrogation doesnt beat the real thing hahahaha if you know what i mean - inactive, on 09/08/2008, -2/+4good point, when they legalize gay marriage, how are the courts supposed to know who to give everything to, the bitch of the relationship?
