Why would I have wanted to get a vasectomy? I wouldn't trade in my 15-month-old daughter for all the money or anything else in the world. You don't understand this because you're not a father. I never fully understood (if at all) the true magnitude of love (that dreaded L-word here on SS) a parent can have for his or her child until I saw my baby girl for the first time, just minutes after she was born. I still pull up and look at that first minutes-old pic I took of her at the hospital, and I relive that moment in my mind often. If that makes me a "poor lizard-brained beta," then my only regret is that I didn't act on my "poor lizard brain" beta instinct sooner. The more time I get with her, the better.goundra said:aw, your po lil lizard brain wants to reproduce itself, you can't BEAR to get a vasectomy like a smart man, so you set yourself up for ruination and have kids. tough stuff. I got one decades ago, cause I saw how stupid it is, at least, until you are a millionaire and mostly, kids PREVENT your ever becoming one.
How old are you? No offense, but your post above doesn't read like that of someone who's old enough to have gotten a vasectomy "decades ago." Usually, someone that old is mature enough to understand that most people who have kids are not millionaires, yet not all of them struggle to make ends meet, and that many of them do in fact still live comfortable, fulfilled lives. I know I do. Then again, I'm a spiritual man, so my motivations might be vastly different from yours -- and that's ok. Not everyone finds fulfillment in the same things. If all you want to do is make a fortune, and you feel that having kids will get in your way of that, then you're right...don't have any because you will likely be a resentful, sh!tty dad. To write off any non-millionaire parent as "stupid" for wanting to have a family is myopic and immature. Ask any of the non-millionaire dads on this forum if they regret having their kids, and how they feel about them...then get back to me.
