I didn't insinuate that becoming an adult meant popping out a fresh unit. I meant to insinuate that adults make decisions such as, "I'm having a child, perhaps I should drive transportation that is more practical and suitable to the task of parenthood."

I'm not saying that he has to trade in his sports car or his balls or whatever. I'm just saying that mature individuals often make such decisions when presented with such situations.

:icon18:

the Z has a car seat attachment tho so its kid friendly.:ugh2:

lol you got me.
:owned:

Gotcha. I understand what you mean and agree, now. I thought you were insinuating that once you "reach adulthood" you "must" have a child, or that to "be an adult" you must desire/have a child. I misunderstood.

no, not that i've seen on the maxima forums.....not much of a aftermarket for them.

as everyone stated already, either sell your parts and buy a DD with that money.

or just buy a DD outright and keep the tt Z.

OP- For all the time and money you have already invested into the Z I think it would be foolish to sell it. You'll recoup the money from the sale. I'd keep the Z, drive it on the weekends and hold onto it. I would find a DD, which will cost you just about as much as you will lose if you sell the Z anyway.

What are balls fetching these days on a trade-in?

:bowrofl: I'll have to check the black market and get back to you, but I'd say minimally six dollars.

:icon18:

you learn quite a bit from raising a child so that part you're not a complete adult until you can handle a kid 24/7 (does not have to be your own).

it's very sad seeing middle aged folks that are completely clueless on how to talk to a child or handle them. :ugh2: extremely sad watching some of my wife's lady friends in their 40's without kids that have no frikken idea what to do when a baby cries. :icon14: to me it's like wtf you dont know??!! :mad:

History would disagree with you. Most human cultures generally expect the female to nurture the children, not the male. Most species, actually.

Not to mention that if I didn't have a kid, and don't plan on ever having one...why would I care how to deal with one?

Um...no.

Q. What do you do when a baby cries?
A. Tell its parents to shut it up or leave the movies/wherever.

Q. What is there to feel sorry about with a 40y/o woman with no kids?
A. She can't empathize with you when you whine about your kid waking you up at 0200.

Q. How do you talk to a child/handle them?
A. Why would this matter? You don't talk to them. What, do you drive a van with "Free Candy" spray-painted on the side or something?

Maybe...

quotes kept for the record. :icon17: some day you shall come back and see how much you have grown...well, hopefully...

You mean, I will regret how togather I had my **** and wish that I could go back in time. Of course, I am thinking vasectomy here real soon. Never can be too careful. **** can happen.

you'll be doing a community a huge favor too. :tup: jk ;)

No, I think you're right. Abortion caused a drop in crime roughly 14 years after it was legalized. Unwanted children are usually the ones committing more crimes. If I had a kid, it would be unwanted. Not that I wouldn't do the right thing and adopt it out or sell it in Mexico so it wasn't America's problem, but what I'm saying is that I agree with you. Unwanted kids are problem kids more often than not.

yep, but we're talking about a couple that's wanting kids and wat to do about welcoming the newborn without altering dad's lifestyle dramatically. :tup:

i haven't changed much before and after my kids were born, hobbywise. im actually spending more money on my hobby overall while keeping a good balance. like in a long relationship with your significant other, the solution is not to keep desires inside and just do wat you want when you can with a budget in mind... and get as much rest whenever you can. :tup:

No, we are talking about a guy whose SO sprung this on him, from what I understand. Should have worn that condom/done something different from the sound of it.

Consider the number of people with HSV I/2, HEPC, HIV, and other assorted goodies, and you might want to wrap it.

Just a sample, since you like math...

1/4 women have HSVII, statistically.
90% are unaware.
Condoms reduce HSV transmission by around 60%.

So, when you wear a condom, you are reducing the risk of contracting just ONE disease by around 15%.

I'll wrap it for 15%.

Of the people I have spoken to who contracted HSVII, NONE of them wore condoms regularly.

I didn't think I would have to explain that it was a joke :ugh2:

To that I would say "choose better women". I generally try to limit myself to women who haven't slept around a lot (which generally means women who don't have low self-esteem), thus the chances of them having any kind of STD is statistically much lower.

I would wrap it for a one-nighter, but in a relationship, wrapping is out of the question. Besides, it just feels better to ride free!

Wrong! The pullout method is not a joke. It's a way of life! :happydance:

I didn't think that I would have to testify in a court of law that sheep can't deny consent, all in an effort to avoid jail time, and yet here we are.

I meant it's a joke to use condoms.



In all seriousness, all guys should be using condoms

Well, the lambskins are nice, because you get prego protection AND bestiality at the same time.

If you're sliding your junk into lambskin, who needs the woman? That would save me the trouble of taking her out to mcdonalds.

Choose better women...

this statement makes me think you just don't know what's out there. I guess after spending time in the clinic and rotating through L&D, I have a different perspective than the lay person, but still.

Wrap it. It's cheap insurance. It's certainly not fool-proof, but it's better than nothing.

I'm 34yrs old, I made my mind up a long time ago. No marriage, no kids, and I intend to keep it that way. It's amazing how many people try to coax you into finding a nice girl and settling down. Not my thing. Some women are put off by this, but some feel the same way. Not everyone is dying to get married and have kids. Some seek it out at all costs. Some fall into it without knowing. And some like me will avoid it like the plague.

It's a choice, not something I'm going to grow into. I enjoy my life the way it is, not the way society tells me it should be.

I know, my grandparents actually mailed me $100 for christmas with instructions to use part of it to take a girlfriend to supper. Of course I will find some random chic to go, as I try to use the gift as intended somewhat, but still, I don't want to. It's just to make them happy. I avoid that mess like the plague it is.

Durf! Erm, there's all kinds of skanky hos out there. And guys too (don't want to be sexist!).

But you most certainly can reduce your chances of catching an STD by being choosy with who you stick your pecker in.

For example, I would pound Venus Williams... but I wouldn't poke Lindsay Lohan with even a stick.

Choose life! :icon14:

You avoid chicks like the plague? :rofl2:

Sound advice for sure :roflpuke2:

But I need a face to lay the pearl necklace on?

I suppose I could use a mask or something, but that seems sad, like a clown. :vuvuzela2:

From a relationship standpoint. I have sat back and watched my friends go through break-up after break-up, divorce after divorce, and I want none of it.

maybe that's they say marriage is like a romance where the hero dies in the first chapter -- and you are still alive :)

Well then you're just not going with the statistics very much, are you? Venus Williams is statistically much more likely to have something.
