I agree with this...to a point. I do believe that some prioritize other wants and needs and they become things that supercede that programming. Human desire can transcend human nature. I fully believe that there are people who have ZERO conscious desire to become parents.
Yes As a guy, I've often dreamed of having a baby for going on many years now. There is nothing in the least that makes a man who wants to have a child of his own unmanly, IMO.
That's so sweet and I absolutely agree with you. Probably one of the most important priorities for me when I will be considering a marriage partner is that he wants and adores children. In my mind, it is a very manly attribute.
I really believe and want to see a goverment mandated testing be issued to ALL wannabe parents to determine if they are mentally, physicaly, financial and mature enough to become parents. And if you don't pass the test or refuse to take the parental qualification test, you CANNOT have any goverment type of assistance, at all, you forfeit it and you will have to pay ALL delievery costs for your baby at the hospital out of pocket.
That would solve 90% of this countries problems right then and there
We hear a lot about females getting baby fever, but I want to know if men do as well? And if they do is it a sign of them being slightly pussified or a sissy?
I've never heard of "baby fever". Where do "we" hear "a lot" about this?

I'm totally in baby mode right now! I have one child and another on the way, and I feel like impregnating every beautiful woman I see right now for some reason!!
I felt this way at one time.

I love kids and babies are the best, and anybody I love I'm going to want to have children with them because I think that's the #1 way to express how much you love a person -- to have a baby together.
I absolutely love kids, and love being a father. I have two biological and one who came with the wife. I have never regretted taking the opportunity to be a dad. The only reason I wouldn't want more is that I'm too old for babies now. I just welcome the opportunity to be a grandfather.
I don't know why I feel so strongly about this - it could be cultural or stem from the fact that I didn't have a father.
So many things in my life have resulted in failure, including my marriage -seeing my kids thrive and survive and grow has been my only source of happiness.
Ask any guy and you'll see they think everything would be better without the children. But if they say no to children, the woman leaves.
lol! You've been asking the wrong guys. Some guys are very into creating progeny, teaching their son to play ball, blah blah. Read the post above mine, for a good example.
In this day and age, they are a small minority. The family values me and my sister grew up with along with other kids in the early 80's were essentially the last generation of quality family upbringing. Don't believe me? Watch the news, local paper and look around in the general public, the sad truth is all around
Actually, I tend to get my information from, you know, actually knowing and communicating with a variety of real people.

My husband loves children and wouldn't have married me or continued the relationship if I didn't feel the same. No matter what I might have to say about his husband skills...he is an excellent dad.
I get overcome with some baby fever sometimes and I'm a 25 year old male and my gf is 19. We are both very excited to have children but luckily we agree that:
1. We must be married
2. She needs to finish school
3. We both have permanent jobs in a city
4. We own a house
I used to hate kids that weren't related to me for the most part. They just seemed really annoying. I always wanted some, but "some day." Now I'm pretty excited to have kids and seeing other little kids only makes it worse lol. Thankfully it's not so bad that it skews our priorities.
