Writing this so my soul forgives me
Not sure if this gets any traction, but... eh, here goes.
Basically, I REFUSE to get married and have kids. Unlike so many people out there, I do not view it as the ultimate source of happiness or some great goal. Too much effort, and the payoff doesn't sound inspiring at all. And I don't give two damns about today's demographic crisis.
To me, this idea of a "wholesome family life" is similar to humorously violent antics you see in cartoons. It's something one should enjoy from a good safe distance. I have nothing against romantic comedies or shows about children and their parents, but the very idea that I'm capable of leading this kind of life irks me.
And while we're on the topic of "wholesome family life", I dislike these so-called "traditional values". A woman who's always kind and polite with you? Uhhhh, no, thanks. A "perfect girlfriend"? More like a perfect slave. This kind of thing is only good for p0rn/R-18 stuff. In reality, if I were interested in dating, I'd much rather go for an angry brat. At least she'd have SOME semblance of power.
According to tradition, a married woman is supposed to cook, clean, look after children and take care of her "dear, stressed-out-from-work" husband. And what does she get from it? Money? Pfffffffft! Love and validation? Not always. Laws don't oblige husbands and children to be grateful. Sex? Same. Food? Kinda. But that's the best she can hope for in a truly traditional society. Personal satisfaction? Only if she was brainwashed all her life.
After all, a traditional man is "always right". No opposing opinions, no rights, no back talking, nothing. This kind of guy will NEVER admit he's wrong. And sadly, many guys these days are like that. Far too many.
So no, I'd absolutely NOT want a "nice girl". I may read romantic comedies that have them, but to date one in reality? Fuck this. Just. Fuck. This.
And, frankly, I'd love to read/watch a good romantic comedy with a mean female lead. It's just so... boring when a girl is being nice to a guy like her life depends on it. It's cute and endearing sometimes, but ONLY sometimes. Like, girl, can't you call me an half-wit or throw a basketball ball at me for once? Assert dominance, for fuck's sake!
In conclusion I'll say this: I hope to lead a productive life, but when "my time comes", I don't want any "new generation" to see it. I'd much rather die like the protagonist of Iron Maiden's The Trooper - forgotten and alone.
