[luckyse7enz]

because pulling out isn't fun

Spoiler

Wait.

Triple entendre, don't EVEN ask me how.

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

shyt how many times we see our very own members rep team RAW and no pullout...

Not everybody get lucky and wind up having oops babies

My friend and his wife both black, educated, making over 200k dont want children . This is Idiocracy in real life where the intelligent are dying out and being replaced by morons.

Its a lot of high earners that are having kids... .and also, because you're a high earner doesn't mean you're intelligent either..... and vice versa

Life history theory. They may find it advantageous for their own specific situation.

If the broad also makes 30k then shyt ain't that bad.

They'd be fine in Alabama... just spend modestly....

i dont think its "knowingly"

 

[Taadow]

I swear we did this thread a few days ago, so i'll keep it short:

- people think they're supposed to have kids at a certain point
- ego
- children are a lotto ticket for some

 

[Turk]

Who should regulate who is fit to have kids? And if money is the issue what amount? Maybe only people making 100k and over should be able to have kids.

Everything you're talking about has nothing to do with my OP. I'M simply asking a question.

For a woman who wasn't about shyt she can get a housing voucher and food to eat and a few simps to throw a lil money and weed (if she wants) her way and shes straight.

For men, we have this crazy thing where we throw logic and reason in the bushes when it comes to sex. That's why post nut clarity is so real. You get horny enough and you actually believe that she's allergic to latex or had a shot or whatever she tells you. You don't even second guess it til you bust that nut

Well... The real answer is because they can....... shyt's just that simple

Selfishness

 

[Marc Spector]

Poverty/lower income living often instills a limited worldview. You're only as good as your options and for a lotta of "poor people" they don't see the value in NOT having children...because the plan was never that ambitious in the first place.

 

[Another Man]

Most poor people can afford to do nothing else to pass the time other than get inebriated somehow and fukk. A lot also don't give a shyt about things like contraceptives and birth control, or simply lack the knowledge. Where there is poverty, there is a lack of resources as well.

 

[Raava]

Lack of education, depression, environmental influence, using sex as a coping mechanism, lack of sex education, some see it as a resource, wanting love they think they can only get from a child, lack of financial education or even information not knowing the true cost of children, bad decision making, not caring about the consequences of actions in the moment, wanting a family etc...

Poor people have been having children since the beginning of time for a number of reasons.

Welfare, foodstamps & a big ass check during tax time

Why were they having so many children before these institutions existed?
