    I mostly hate it because there's way too much stigma around men and kids for me to ever be comfortable with the idea.

    It also makes talking to random kids even more awkward even if they're trying to hold a conversation with you.

    Just gotta put my angry rush face on.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    To answer the question from the previous thread and tie into the current discussion ...

    Love is a spontaneous hug from a two-year-old.

    you're confusing "love" with "disease touch"

    could be two things tho

    people are always oh you must like kids you work with them why don't you want any

    and yeah I do like kids. but I also like leaving those kids at 2:40 and doing my own thing the rest of the night. it's a pretty good arrangement

    Assuming I can ever make myself get out there and date again, I eventually want kids. But I'm terrified that I'll be a shit dad because a ton of my friends have very young kids and I just flat out don't know how to interact or deal with them.

    just have fun with them. then give them back to their parents.

    the problem is this doesn't work when you are the parent

    That makes them excellent test subjects!

    Also, just, you know, talk to them. If they're very, very young, they won't understand you but will probably like being talked to anyway, and if they're older, they'll talk with you. Sit down on the floor with them and play.

    Just a reminder: I didn't just supervise children, but have also supervised other people supervising children.

    And now I pass out free lunches to impoverished children in my community while I wait for the school year to begin.

    What I'm getting at is, Zonugal is a pretty trustworthy guy...

    So, about a year ago I had my heart broken.

    I don't talk about it much, because it's only a thing I've dealt with once and it wasn't that long ago for me sand it's still a pretty tender subject for me.

    I went into detail about it on twitter a couple months ago. Feel free to browse that if you want to feel bad.

    I'm so tired of being alone, but meeting anyone is just... complicated, for me.

    I don't know.

    Kids are small and fragile but often want to challenge me for dominance of whatever social situation we're in because kids are assholes. Putting a toddler in a Camel Clutch is frowned upon in most circles so I'm content to keep them at bay.

    Yeah, that really isn't the issue.

    I've purchased them before for that forum battle where my college buddy pretended to have angry sex with me.

    The issue is giving my friend lingerie I purchased for her, and the bridesmaids here agree that it would be weird...

    But one of them did give me a pair to give her, so I'm still giving the bride something.

    Listen, I attended the city I worked for's city council, and holy shit I should run just to add some competency to that group.

    I had to endure two council members just "talking" for minutes without saying anything.

    Meanwhile another city council told the concerned city residents in the audience, his daughter & neices included, that he didn't care what they thought.
