Apples and oranges here, dude.

A woman can make life choices about herself and her appearance - makeup, hair cut, etc. That is cosmetics that only affect her.

In fact, I am just that lady - I really don't put a lot of time and energy into my looks, I am comfortable with natural (no make up) and I don't do the latest hair trends.

But, not ask for child support?? Yeah, that'll be a cold day in H*** in my book. Know why? That support could be the difference between an ok life and good life for a child. Without child support, I can personally afford a $500/mth rental on my income for my son and I. With child support, we just upped our game to $700/mth. This is the difference between an inhabitable place to live and a nice place to live. That affects MY CHILD, not just me. If HE plays the game, HE better be prepared to help support the outcome. That is adult responsibility talking there.

Grow up. Having a masters degree doesn't make you an adult, you have some maturing to do.

OP, I have a question. If your reason for not having kids Or engage in a relationship is that you at someday going to die anyway, why not apply this logic to all other things in life you pushed? For example, you mentioned that you are pushing your master's degree. Why bother if you are going to die anyway?

Master's doesn't guarantee that. My brother got his masters ... Took him 6 months to land a gig in his field of study, and he makes significantly less money than I do; and, I don't have a college degree at all, but have an excellent professional career. I know others with extended education that are doing blue collar jobs right now - cuz, college degrees (BA, MA, etc) are becoming dime a dozen.

Today I am 24 years and 2 years to finish my masters in college. I still have not changed my view on any of this. I know some of you might be saying 'your only a kid and you dont know what life is gonna throw at you' but I am certain 95% sure I dont want women or sex. Why? Ive watched an orgy in my life and a couple who openly participated in 'making love' I wasnt grossed out in any of them but i felt sex was something that would distract me from life. There have been a lot of women in my life that I have met (25-30) who seemed 'nice and 'date able' but they never seemed to step out of the boundaries with rules regarding roles in relationships.


Anyway even if I did change my mind, there would be no point in doing any of this as you'll just die. I think its selfish anyway for me to have children when there are many poor, hungry, and disease plagued children across the world
Good for you! You know what you want out of life. Go for it!

The world doesn't need more kids, that's for sure. If you think you're unique in your view on that, you're mistaken.

If you can't have children, why would the need to ask for child support be a deal breaker?

These women are everywhere, especially in academia. Why aren't you meeting them?
