I avoid having kids by simply being completely unappealing to women. 😤

The simplest way is to be a Reddit mod.

That's too much. I still want to be loved by my family and friends.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

If you're loved by family and friends, there's always the chance, especially if she's Canadian.

It may not, especially if you have the accent.

But if you called it a fedora without knowing the difference? It just might.

I don't have an accent. Not an Aussie accent. I wear the hat and duster cuz I had a friend from there got me started on them about a decade ago and I stick to them rather adamantly because I appreciate what they do so much the entire concept of regional reference bears nothing on my skin when the fiction is so greatly better than anything else remotely close

So, you know when you see a woman, and you speak with her like a normal person and form a connection? Nothing good comes of that.

Instead of doing that, convince yourself in your head that saying even two words is going to end in disaster and then play on your phone and awkwardly pretend they aren't there until they go away.

It's hard, but with enough practice it will become second nature. You've got this!

yeah, be a turbo nerd, don't be socially competent (autism is a good start) and don't care about romantic relationships. It's all about the interpersonal aspects anyway.

this is currently my meta. Just betting that the likelihood that i get raped and end up "being a father" is low enough that having a vasectomy or something would outweigh the potential cons.
