    Peer pressure from people that don’t even exist anymore, huh.

    Well tough luck, the only pressure this aroace girl will succumb to is a sale on her favourite garlic bread

        You do realize you don’t need to have genetic offspring for that right? You make friends and family and just interact with other people and it serves the same purpose and if you really want a child for that then well adoption is also an option

          True, but also friends and family are usually either same age or older. ( as in the other response) I assume parents would prefer to have grandchildren, so they would not apprecheate your anti children sentiment spread by you to they’re children.

          True, adoption is also a good thing generally. But to help the genetical pool be diverse and healthy some children of your own wouldnt be bad.

            Who the fuck cares about what their parents want in this situation (this is an exaggeration and I know many people do care but I’m making a point here) Having children is an expensive and labor Intensive process where a person’s parents should have no say in. Imagine demanding your children build a house for you, one where you wouldn’t help that much in building and only hangout in every once in a while.

            Also we aren’t in a position where we actually need to care about genetic diversity, there’s plenty of that already so whatever benefit it might give is incredibly miniscule

          That implies someone had given birth to them. ( No everone has niblings.)

          And who said that they’re parents would allow you to teach em your world view? ( Especially as those parents did create children and you didn’t. Hence I presume they would also like to have grandchildren. And you would discourage that.)

            Yeah, of course someone needs to give birth to them. What are you saying?

            And what exactly do you think my world view is? And why would it include discouraging people having grandchildren?

            I’m not an anti natalist, lol. I think those people are lunatics. I just personally don’t want kids of my own.

        That’s such a weird perspective on having kids.

        Let me ask though, do you not see having kids as slightly immoral due to the negative environmental impact each human has on the planet? Or that global warming will cause immense reduction in quality of life for all humans in the next 30 years and you know they won’t have a good life?

          I do, and I agree. But also there is much more significant impacts to our enviorment. (Buildings, Planes and Cars for example). And If we stop producing offspring because of “moral” reasons, people without such reasons will create offspring and spread theyr world view to the next generation. And the next generation will still have the issues but now with less people that are able / intrested in solving the enviormental issue. ( Idocracy scenario).

      Same.

      Face, body, anxiety, depression, etc…

      Yeah… Even if someone would hold their nose and settle for me I’ve pretty much decided the world is a much better place without more of me. Plus it’s a like a form of torture to bring someone into this world that will be as ugly as me and have all my issues as well.

      Hard pass.

        Think of the 10 most conventionally unattractive features somebody could have. I’ll probably check 7 out if those. Just as a clue, I’m not overweight, have most of my hair and both my eyes face the same direction, that’s about it.

    Even if I wanted to it wouldn’t be possible due to Androgen deficiency (and a severe unwillingness to take hormones to replace what’s not there) and also the fact that I have abnormal sex chromosomes (XXY). So the Aroace (in my case Enby) wins both through will and biology, check and mate queerphobes.
