and what if you didn't have kids, and couldn't find a partner because you were so ugly that you give up on the chance of ever finding someone to love you and have kids with?? what then?

It's easy to say beauty is on the inside, but how many of us here have ever dated someone so hideously deformed?

Let's not sugar coat things, Sex is an important part of any relationship, and if you are disfigured to the point that you are not physically attractive yu will be lonely. Even if you have enuf money to attract someone, you will still know deep down that yu are physically repulsive and not physically attractive to that person, so really you are cheating that person out of a fullfilling sex life. that's incredibly selfish.

let's be real.

That's a good point and maybe I would feel differently in that case

I'm not sugar coating things Alex.. I'm talking about me personally ad I do have two young children and I have a terrible fear of anything happening to me and not being there for them or seeing them grow up.

However, I do agree with you.. I'm not so sure if I'd feel so lucky if I was single and childless.

I didn't mean you were sugar coating things, i just meant in general. Obviously you having children completely rules your perspective, i'm sure you would endure any torture and any suffering you had to if it meant seeing your children just 1 more time. Any parent would i assume.
