Re: What\'s with the no kids guilt trip?
[ QUOTE ]
Question to those who say they don't want children:
What if you did in fact get a girl (wife/gf/random chick) knocked up? Would you you find any pleasure at all in parenting or would you just end up resenting the kid forever? Do you think your opinion of children or having children would change after having one of your own? Or would it just confirm everything you've already believed? And more broad generalized questions like that yada yada yada.

If it somehow "happened", I'm certain I'd cope well enough. Heck, I'd probably turn out a pro-parent looking at other no-kids people as they look at me atm.
I don't believe it's a question on whether you then, after the kid's there, choose to make your life revolve around your kid - it's just going to happen anyway (unless you're the abortion, the give-away-for-adoption, or run-away type).
I'm just not going to put myself in that position on purpose.
