  • Is taking girls on dates a waste of time if you can hook up with them anyways? Can you fake being an alpha till you make it? Is it beta to follow modern fashion trends? Should men stay home and sleep through the birth of their children? Let’s watch and react to some of the WILDEST male takes I could find on the Internet.

    Not a man, but i had my second son 2 weeks ago. My epidural failed, pain meds failed and i ended up feeling everything. My sons heartbeat was plummeting everytime i contracted. Terrified doesnt explain the feeling. I couldnt imagine not having my partner there to support me. Didnt matter he couldnt help, i needed him there.

    I feel HORRIBLE for the first man’s wife, going to bed while his wife was going through birth. His carelessness is beyond me. I’ve had two home births (soon to be three) and you bet my wonderful husband was right by my side the entire time doing everything he could. It’s just as much his child and if he didn’t care to be apart of the process I would be devastated.

      A man with infinite options of women vying for his attention has little reason to care for them. It's basic r-K selection theory.

Some women find it difficult to concentrate when their husband faints and has doctors/nurses checking on him too. I think most men in the year 2024 would be in the room making sure she's supported but if she knows her man will likely faint if he sees it will have him stand outside then once the baby is out and it's time to cut the cord he comes back in.

    I am 55, single, never married, no kids, no real romantic relationships, honestly. And that is exactly the way I have always liked it. I dated for so many years, hating every moment of it, until one day I decided to stop doing things I do not enjoy simply to please everyone else. I've been so happy ever since. Yes, I live for myself, and despite being 100 percent pro-life, would absolutely have resented a husband and a child because I am a loner by nature, so I did the right thing and sat those institutions out. I feel if you know in your heart you cannot devote yourself to a child - or a spouse - you are morally obligated to not become a parent. My mother and my grandmother were of those generations of women pushed into marriage - both at 19 years old - and neither had any trouble letting all the kids in the family know how much they hated us for existing. That taught me young to avoid motherhood and wifedom.
    And don't anyone feel sad for me - I LOVE living alone, and interacting when I choose to, not because I have to. No regrets at all, and I really think it's pathetic how feminists hate men so much but are absolutely obsessed with having relationships with them. I am not a feminist or a man-hater, but girls, there is so much more to life than dating. I wish more young women understood this. We would have less abortions, less abused children, waaay less drama, and a lot more happiness.

Not being asexual either, I do have those needs to, but often watching people living in couple and not really being thrilled by the idea. Actually a loner too and was dreading the day I'd have to learn to live together with a partner.
      Well as I start growing a bit older, I can see I'm not the only one, and it's not a huge deal not to be a "relationship person". Maybe it's just how some of us do want to live our lives. Been told once I'm an "omega male" whatever that means lol.

    My ex was like the first guy when it came to childbirth. He was definitely more of a hindrance than a help. Hospital staff expects you to bring your own help, so you are SOL if the people you bring with you to the hospital don't actually want to help. The first guy is a *big* red flag because that attitude carries into the rest of the relationship. A guy who doesn't want to be supportive of childbirth is not going to be supportive of childcare, pregnancy, career, chores, etc., etc., etc. It was easy to divorce my ex because he made it clear time after time that he never cared about me or the kids and he wasn't about to start. I was already living like a single mom, I just reduced the number of children I had to care for by 1.

    About the guy who doesn't want children. I was this guy for most of my life. I saw my parents, relatives, and neighbours all not enjoying parenthood. Not enjoying being parents. I heard horror stories about labour, and it all made me think having children was this horrible thing, but also I didn't know a good reason to have them.
    Until! Until I found a love so strong at the age of 29, I suddenly knew what it was all about. Now I have a family and am so happy I got this opportunity I never thought I would have. And having a child is very taxing, but also rewards you with a love you couldn't imagine you were capable of feeling.
    So I totally get both sides, and I definitely think it's wise to wait with children until you find the right person.

But after my daughter was born, she was over on her incubator table and the nurses had walked away to do a couple of things and my husband walked over to her. He put his finger down around where her little hand was and she reached up and grabbed his finger and held on to it and I saw his whole body sag. That moment it's like something snapped in him. And they were best friends from then on. He got the nickname baby hog because whenever anyone would come to see one of our babies, I'd have to pry them out of his hands because he never wanted to let them go. He changed diapers, gave baths, got puked on, took them to doctor's appointments and everything that a good dad does. He's honestly the best dad ever and everyone has the most respect for him. He's coached their little league teams and soccer teams and always does fun things with the kids when The Neighbor kids come over to play. Everyone just adores him and I just can't say how much I love and respect him. I am so proud to be his wife

    As a mom, its never bothered me when people are adamantly against having children. Its quite a lot and a huge lifestyle change. Especially if you have no family around you (like us) that you cant utilize for any sort of a mental break.
    What bothers me is when people tote being child free as a flex as though they are better than those of us that do have kids. Ive been called selfish by the aggressively child free people because the only reason some of them think people have kids is to have a "mini me" or to have someone to care for me at the end of my life. None of which are true. Sure there are bad parents but most of us certainly dont put our lives and interests on hold, disrupt our youthful bodies, and manage the constant responsibility that it is to care and nurture another human because we're only thinking of ourself.

      They will be relying on the investment and responsibility and sacrifice of those of us who had children, to carry the burden of a collapsing welfare system.

    • @jgmez98
      @jgmez98 4 місяці тому +6

      What's crazy, is that in some cases, the people who don't want children are the ones being selfish (like you said, they feel their lives would be put on pause, their own interests would be pushed aside, etc.). Those that have called you selfish for WANTING children, probably are just projecting their own feelings onto you, because deep down they know that they are probably being the selfish ones for not wanting to have a child.
      That being said, it is true that if one doesn't want to have a child, one doesn't have to. It doesn't necessarily make you selfish for not wanting a child. But, most of the reasons as to why people don't want children, do seem to be very "me" focused and selfishly constructed. Then again, that's just my own two cents. Others may see the focus on oneself to be noble, and not selfish.

The first time around it wasnt a choice, although my husband wasnt that keen on witnessing a birth anyway - my baby was premature and i had to be emergency flown across my country because there wasnt a neonatal ICU space in my local hospital. The second and third time i chose not to have anyone there as i felt comfortable with being alone having already done it the first time and my husband stayed home with the older children. He came to the hospital after the birth. I'm honestly glad i did it alone, its such a vulnerable and humbling experience and i didn't need the pressure of having someone else in the room, im very introverted though so this is just what worked for me.

He cold turkey stopped smoking. He became way more involved gave us so many speeches about how hard our mom works and to take up the chores because we need to protect her. I’ve asked her about her experience of giving birth with my dad there. And she said after my first little brother was born, she was telling my dad I don’t think I can push the second out.

    I was told a lot that she wished she never had kids (she was the one who wanted kids before and planned us) and went to college. That I should either find a rich man or don't have kids at all. She felt very unappreciated and always had to be the bad guy, doing all of the work, etc.

Yes it's hard and I get resentful sometimes of the situation I'm in. But I just use the situation to try to find ways to get some opportunities for myself to get recharged. If I had to do it all again, I would do it all again because God wanted these kids here and He chose me to be their mother. So it's an honor and a privilege even when the well is dry and I'm tapped out. I had crappy parents, very self centered ones, and I live each day trying to do and be better. Right there I am changing the trajectory of my family line for the better.
      Maybe instead of we women getting resentful, we choose to take on a different attitude. I used to be a pessimist and now I'm not, solely through the decision to not be one

      I had a mother who worked and did all the labour at home.
      She had expected and told my father that if she were to have kids, she wanted to be a stay at home mom. That never happened cuz my dad's rage had him lose jobs, but he never helped at home until he became disabled. But the first 16 years of my life my mother was depressed (she also had 2 pregnancies fail with the twins dying a day after birth).
      My mother had an emotional life with a lot of loss and to feel appreciated and helped by my father would have alleviated some of her pain.
      My father wasn't horrible. His parents beat him. He had unresolved issues and anger from his childhood. It always got in the way. He couldn't be the best him he could have been for our family. I have the same rage so I understand. It doesn't change the fact that as a result, my mother told me these things. She would not be the only mother who told her daughter not to follow the same life she did. She wanted more than depression for her children.

He put me on iron and that fixed most of the problems. He noticed when my sodium was low and I needed fluids. He delivered my baby safely when I developed preeclampsia. All three of my babies have been delivered via c-section by male doctors. The third time, a female doctor came in so that the male doctor could prepare for his next delivery and she did my stitches. That was the only time I ever had stitches open back up. Male doctors have always just been more willing to try to make me comfortable through everything and listen to me. Needless to say, I prefer having male OBs at this point.

      A MALE will assume the woman patient knows how her body works and feels, since he does not have those symptoms as he isn’t female, he believes her cries for help, and offers sympathy and gives her treatments to help her feel better.

    I can't even count on both my hands and feet how many times I've been told " You'll never find a man that doesn't want kids" or " You're selfish for not wanting kids" or "You'll change your mind" and people don't realize how much these things hurt and affect those of us that don't want kids. It's constantly in the back of my mind that I'll never find a life partner, and I think it's been a root cause for a lot of my more feminine troubles. The idea that a woman wont feel fulfilled if she doesn't have kids perpetuates a lot more negative than one would assume.
    I think what it comes down to is that everyone should live for something bigger than themselves, and that can be many different things to many different people. I think that as long as you are living your life in a way that betters the world around you while simultaneously doing what you love, you will be fulfilled. My dream is to create music that inspires others. I've had a lot of struggles throughout my life, and if I can put music into the world that makes at least 1 person realize that life is worth living, then I will be fulfilled.
    I personally don't want children and I 've never desired childbirth. BUT If I were to ever be at a point in my life where I wanted a child, I'd adopt. It just doesn't seem fair to bring a baby into a world that's falling apart, when there's so many children out there who are forced to go through life alone. I understand the sentiment of having your own biological children, but I rather give an already existing child a chance to know what unconditional love is and to see that the world is kind. Adoption is expensive, yes, but I know that if I am able to afford it I will be at a point in my life where I am capable and ready to give them the best life possible. [ PS: Show older kids in the adoption system some love, God knows they need it. ]

    Just because a woman doesn't have fulfillment in giving birth doesn't mean they're selfish. Some of us, including myself, want to adopt instead. Not to mention that I want to dedicate my life to helping people. Making donations or making others' lives easier gives me fulfillment. Nothing wrong with women who want to give birth either. They're doing their part in society just as I am and we should respect and encourage each other.
    Of course, there are women who are very selfish by wanting to party all the time instead of making society better whether it's through motherhood and/or going into the workforce to provide for others. Trad wives get crapped on so much despite the fact that they can still have businesses and still absolutely be traditional! A compassionate and loving woman is a strong woman.

It doesn't make blood relations any less, but the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water in the womb. Not saying a child doesn't hold top priority, because they definitely do whether they're of blood or not. There are kids who are rejected by their parents or their parents weren't able to provide for them, so I would love to give them a family they never had. They would still be considered my children and top priority even if they came from someone else.
      Having a business or going out and donating to charity doesn't mean putting strangers above family. There are priorities, but it's possible to do both and teach your children about the value of compassion as well as earning skills.

      I've always dreamed of adopting just as my parents did. There are multiple reasons as to why people would adopt such as if they're older and therefore want an older child, or want an instant family without the fear of complications from pregnancy or they may may want to provide that experience and love to children who didn't have it before. Sometimes they don't want to pass certain genetics down either whether it involves physical or mental illnesses. The gender of the child can also be an important factor.
      For myself, I love to provide for others and, even though I've never engaged in risky or addictive behavior, I don't want to pass on my genetics. Every child deserves loving parents. I wouldn't mind marrying someone who already has kids too. Baby, toddler, teenager, etc. Doesn't matter too much to me. Although the younger they are, the more often they are adopted.

They seemed to have lost that sense of mystery and almost reverence of birth that my male attendants retained.

    As far as the last video about having children goes, I absolutely agree with the sentiment of not having children if you don’t feel a deep calling to raise a family. A couple of those comments from that particular video remind me of things I’ve heard from my own mom about her decision to have kids and her regrets about it and it’s a big part of the reason I don’t want children as of yet (I’m 29) but I plan on freezing my eggs this year just incase I change my mind because I know that day may very well come, but I think a very large part of the reason a lot of women and mothers feel this way about having children is because they either have fathers who worked a lot and weren’t helpful with household/child rearing duties or have a husband like that who doesn’t lend much help. They say it takes a village to raise a child and I think there’s a lot of truth to that statement. My dad was a great father to my brother and I growing up but he did work a lot and his job is a physically taxing one so I understand why he wasn’t eager to put in work when he gets home and he always prioritized time with my brother and I when he was home from work to help us with homework because my mom got her time with us during the day and his time was after work but my moms shift never ended like his did. Even when he was helping us with homework so she didn’t have to she didn’t get a break, she was in the kitchen prepping and cooking dinner or making his lunch for the next day or washing his coveralls so he’d have them for work the next day and she had no help. Despite the rewards that motherhood can bring I think it can be a very isolating and thankless job while also being the hardest job a person could have. Being a true home maker and raising children without any help whatsoever is something that can drain the life from a person if they lose themselves in it because they never feel like they can have w moment that’s theirs and everybody deserves at least a few hours a week to themselves to do the things they enjoy that fulfilled them before they were a parent a father always has his job to give him a sense of individuality and purpose outside of his family but the family still benefits from it and I think mothers should have enough help to be able to foster something in their lives that give them the same sense of individuality and purpose that doesn’t necessarily exist within their family unit but I guarantee it would benefit the family just the same. I think having creative hobbies that aren’t too involved are a super great way for mothers to keep something for them. When my mom had hobbies she seemed to enjoy being a mother much more than she did after she gave them up. The change in her attitude towards motherhood and her motherly duties was palpable even as a pre teen.

I could see not having him in the room, but the idea of him SLEEPING?!? Nah. Not for me.

    That guy looks like a beta parody of the Simpsons salesman who went: "Life is hard, right? Wrong! Life is easy. You suck. You have to grab life by its bunny ears and get in its face!"

    My wife does the clothing shopping for me. I didn't really care a lot about my clothing. It just needed to be clean and match LoL. Females usually care more about what you say and the level of confidence that you show. A little humor is helpful but you don't need to be James Bond or a fasionista to get women. I'm a fat guy who didn't care about my clothes too much and still had plenty of gfs and now I'm married and my standards are pretty high. What matters most is confidence plus humor goes a long way or at least social skills.

    My husband was with me and it was so spiritual and beautiful. Honestly such an amazing experience. I had a cesarean (C-section) and despite being numbed the pulling and tugging from pulling the baby out felt like my actual life was being ripped out of me.. my eyes wide open I saw my husband looking down at me tears streaming down his face hearing him tell me how much he loves me... Truly an undescribable feeling.. feeling the fragility and beauty of love and life were like God showing himself to me. The moment my baby was placed into my arms and she's safe and beautiful and perfect and I could see the joy in his eyes pure relief flowed over my entire existence I got to watch him cut the chord and since that day I've loved him more then I ever even knew possible ❤

    A marriage - is 2 becoming 1 - each should complement the other - always be working for the other's good - always satisfying each other's sexual needs. If you can't or decide not to do these things, you shouldn't be married.

      Always satisfying each other's sexual needs? No woman or man are entitled to sex just because they are married. It's not what marriage is about

      @@chilling_koala when people say that they forget that strictly speaking partners don't have to do anything for each other, so in the same way your partner doesn't have to support you emotionally/financially or in any other way. No woman or man are entitled to anything just because they are married, but when your partner doesn't care abour your needs/wants it's not a good marriage. It's just weird that some people single out sexual needs like this. Like if you don't care about your partner's sexual needs don't expect them to care about any kind of needs of yours

      @@user-wl4yt1dn6z I see what you are trying to say, but there's a lot of differences between emotional support and satisfying sexual needs. There's no reason I can think of that would make someone not want to support their parents emotionally, while there are tons of reasons why someone would not want to have sex. Marriage is about being with the person you love, not a weekly subscription to sex.

    Watching these now is making me even happier than I had stopped watching those women vs men podcast it was really conditioning me. Now I love men and woman and see us as equally valuable instead of some competition.

    If your parents made it known they didn't get joy from raising you, that they made the resentment known, your parents failed you. And to pass that along is TOXIC.
    Parenthood isn't for everyone. But it's also not a total drain.

    I feel like in general women would be better at 'helping' during labor, but that's not why women want their man there in the first place.
    They just want the man to be there for emotional support, just to hold their hand so they know you're there for them, that's it.
    And obviously so he can see his child being born of course.
