The majority of women want kids - probably over 90%

There is a growing community of child free people out there who do not feel guilty for not wanting kids.

Maybe the solution is for me later in life to marry a woman who already has grown/almost grown children lol

Are these song lyrics?

Don't quote me Blackg, but judging by the undulating syncopation pattern, I think yes
this is reminiscent of traditional Holland courtship serenade?

My English language is bad.
only condemning female baldness.
never a comrade.

laughing at life, to know and to meet.
I am a music therapist.
age 43 and bald.
a lot of women in my life.
No unnecessary fears.
anksiti sports and natural puppy, please give yourself music.
Stay away from chemicals.
Tell friends you

With genetically altered embryos possibly being a big thing in the near future, this may actually be the worst possible time in human history to have children

I pity the last generation born before genetically enhanced babies becomes the norm....competing with superhumans for a place in the world

I'll have children if a girl lets me.

I want my live my life the way fullheads can live theirs.

So these privileged people can have children but we can't?

How many things are you going to give up because of your hair loss?

If a girl agrees to have kids with you, you're good, you won.

It's not about you. It's about the difficult life of a human being (the potential child).
Why not set up the kid with the best possible genetic material (sperm bank) to increase his chances in life?
Why f*** over an innocent life over your desired mental satisfaction of having cursed your genetic material into a baby?

I'm sorry Ex. and you're right, that is some heavy stuff.:)
Above all else, it's imperative that we keep our wits together as much as we can,
high or not this baldness will tip us over the edge of oblivion.

This is my problem with a lot of people having kids today, because it comes across as them having kids for themselves. Like, "I just want to be a parent." "I want to have a baby." It seems like it's about the individual's identity as a "parent" is more important than the actual questions as to whether or not creating a new life is actually a good idea.

Yes, that's my justification too. I just want kids, period.

I know it's selfish, but as always, I'm not telling myself any BS.

Yes it would feel nice to be a parent, in terms of social status for example.

We all know the stigma attached to people who've never had children.

And it doesn't come out of nowhere.

I know it's certainly not going to be a walk in the park, but that's just how life is.

In the end, we're hardwired to procreate and anyone who tries to fight against nature is going to lose.

That's how I see it.

At least you're honest

But what's the stigma exactly? I've never noticed this. Of all the 50yo+ people I've known without kids, yes some are weirdos but some just seem like normal people. I know plenty of weirdos with kids as well

For me personally, I just don't see the appeal of having kids. My view may change at some point, but who knows. It's way more responsibility than I care to take on, and too much potential tragedy to have on my conscience...yes I know that child's life could play out very positively, but if it doesn't....I think I'd always feel responsible for being the person who created that life...this is also why I think I'd be more open to adoption, because at least if things don't go well, at least I wasn't the one who took it upon myself to bring a person into the world

For now I'd rather just invest my time and money on the things that I enjoy

i think it's weird when you're fifty, and alone. Never been in a serious relationship or had children.

I dont think there is anything wrong with being a married couple who don't have children though.



could always start up a transplant fund when he is born. 1$ a day.

I do hope to settle down with a female at some point, I just think my desire to not have children could cause some difficulty here, since 99% of the females I've known have the dream of "being a mother"

Transplant fund could be a good idea lol. Hair is just one of many things that could end up badly though. Kid might be an NW1 for life and be born without feet

I wanna make a post here for people to evaluate my current state.
As for genes, I believe that I have great genes that can be passed on, I'm only 20 right now but I do have thick hair for now. I'm 6"3, strong facial features, muscular. So with a nice female we could make great kids I believe :)

I, too, won't have any children. Not that I have a choice here, most women find me disgusting, and rightly so, so I will die alone anyway. My shitty genes shall die with me, as it was meant to be.
You should never not have children because of baldness. Baldness should be looked at as something we need to fight and overcome, not something that prevents us from doing the things we always wanted to do.

I just dont want to wake up that one day and notice my boy having bald temples. It will eat me away, how someone finally being given an opportunity to soak up all the knowledge around them, and gain experience in everything has to eventually realize that there life is going to change forever. Those temples start to become the crutch behind everything. His energy will drain, instead of meeting women, and going to every party he can, he will be fixing his temples, and orchestrating all his movements to the safety of his hair.

I don't want my son to be a social retard because of horrible disease. I will forever endure his pain on top of my own, every morning I will carrying his weight ontop of my own as I am braced by my biggest downfall. I know how he feels, and it's not a smooth ride.

I dont want him to go through the pain, and agony of balding as a teenager. it will ruin him.


It messed a big quarter of my life. Fortunately I still lived, that hat was a saving grace. But also, my demise.
The hat is always a saving grace, man! When you're balding past Norwood 3, the second you put a hat on it's like the world sees you in a completely different light. Nobody knows you're balding or even gives it a second thought. The second you take the hat off, it's like they look down on you in disgust. Fucked up but it's not too far off from the truth. You could have a full head of hair and a girl could be head over heels in love with you but when you take away the hair that same girl won't even notice you.

As far as having kids goes,

imo, if you take it upon yourself to create a life(even if it's an "accident") every decision you make from that point forward should be for the benefit of that life you created...pretty much everything you do should be directed towards helping and/or not hindering your child

That's a MONUMENTAL amount of responsibility. When I stop and think about that, it seriously perplexes me how so many people are so eager to have babies. Maybe they just don't think about it along the same lines as I do as far as their level of responsibility? Or maybe they're just innately more selflessly minded than I am. idk

yeah, I will never forget the amount of times I heard a women tell me 'you look different' when I took my hat off

Or women wanting me to take off my hat, and pull my hairline back.

sh*t was demeaning.
