    I know someone who was after popping out their third kid. They had the cheek to ask me if I would ever have them.

    Definitely don't want kids. But don't want to stay single either.

    To be fair this is a bit unbalanced. There is no guarantee your children will give a sh1t about you, they might even end up addicts or serious criminals or worse. You could have a family but maybe some unfortunate event or even
    a brutal divorce means you are alone again.

    Some say that it's Manly to get married young: The Surprising Benefits of Marrying Young on The Art of Manliness:
    Rather than proving the superiority of marrying young, my goal with this article is to simply provide some reassurance to the young gents out there who are in their early to mid-twenties, have already met the right person, and feel like they’re ready to get hitched, but are scared to pull the trigger because they’ve heard the constant drumbeat of “Marry young and you’ll regret it!” In truth, you needn’t be afraid to take the plunge; as a study that analyzed marrying age and future happiness concluded: “most persons have little or nothing to gain in the way of marital success by deliberately postponing marriage beyond the mid twenties.”

    In other words, once you’ve found the gal you can’t live without, you should absolutely feel confident in deciding to take on the rest of your lives side-by-side, and embarking with her on one of life’s greatest adventures.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Ir involves stuffing a ****ing duvet into a large bag. If you can get a condom on while drunk in the dark you can mange a duvet.

    It's great to be in any situation that you want to be in.

    If that is, you're lucky enough to be in the situation that you wanna be in.

    If not, then it sucks to be in a situation that you don't want to be in.

    tl;dr

    Any situation can be great if it's what you want and any situation can suck if it's you one you don't want.

    In relationship at 17, married at 29, first baby at...40.

    Marriage changed nothing in the going out and having craic stakes. Kid changed everything. It's fantastic, but social life has gone over a cliff.

    But I had a great innings.

    39, first baby due in December. I agree about the social pressure though - let people do what they want. Nothing worse than have a recent newlywed or parent say "you should try it out" or "i highly recommend it"

    I can't stand that whole baby thing. The way people almost lose their personality and become consumed by their children and prescribe having kids, their FaceBook pages become rammed with photos of their kids rather than them, it's like they give up on themselves and become just a parent, somewhere in the background. Had hoped to maintain my own social life, but that just was a non runner, being too hungover with a baby. But would never speak about the baby unless asked, before we had ours I remember other peoples kids being the single most uninteresting topic.

    The day we got engaged, my wife's cousin asked how many kids we were going to have.

    Just because she was having a competition with her sister to see who could produce the most offspring.

    She suggested 3, for the record, which was nice. A pro tip, like.

    Breaking News! Being single does not mean no sex. ;)


    Being married could very well mean no sex depending on her mood.


    I tend to be classy about things so get the ride and move on.

    If you want to have the most sex you cohabitate. Cohabiting couples have the most sex more than married couples and more than singles. For some reason after a cohabiting couple gets married the sex goes down?

    Be honest though even if your a Don Juan, handsome and rich mutherfcuker its still hard to get laid regularly when your single.

    A friend of mine got involved with an older woman at age 17 she was 28 by age 21 he had 4 kids and a vasectomy. The youngest person I know of that had a vasectomy. I called round to his house one time and his kids are all nuts one was mashing brocolli into his hair the other was running around screaming at the top of his lungs for no reason. When his business got in trouble his misses kicked him out seemingly that happens a lot.

    Heres the thing..happiest fcuker I ever met. Genuinely. Happiness is largely a state of mind.

    Cohabiting couples appear to have more sex because most cohabiting couples have not been cohabiting that long and they're still in the honeymoon phase.

    Of course, you do get the phenomenon of those who'll have lot's of sex until there's a ring on the finger, at which point one party having decided that they no longer have to have sex for the commitment, begin to withhold it, but I suspect this is very much the exception rather than the rule.

    Reality is that the frequency of sex decreases over time - some more than others - regardless of whether they are married or just cohabiting.
    Be honest though even if your a Don Juan, handsome and rich mutherfcuker its still hard to get laid regularly when your single.
    Well, if by hard you mean it involves more effort that rolling onto your partner first thing in the morning, then yes. Relationships breed laziness where it comes to sex.

    If you mean that it is tough work to get laid at least once a week when technically single (or 'dating'), then no. It's not.

    A lot of battered spouses are happy to stay in abusive relationships too apparently.

    Staying in an abusive relationship doesn't mean someone is happy to stay in an abusive relationship.
