earlier in the day, I came across this ad for some app\/community that was targeting couples with no kids who seem to be exasperated with the idea that they\u2019ve been marginalized and feel the need to require the crutch of a specifically curated app\/community to meet other couples with no kids for platonic friendships and relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I stared at my screen for a few seconds, and if my eyes could roll further back, they might accidentally connect with my sinuses and then accidentally roll into the back of my throat, I\u2019d accidentally swallow them, and I\u2019d be blind for the rest of my life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">As the kids would say, (get) <em>the fuck outta here<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">There are actually couples without kids out there that feel that they are the ones who feel marginalized?\u00a0 They\u2019re the ones who feel the societal shift because they <em>didn\u2019t<\/em> want to have children?\u00a0 <em>They<\/em> feel like their circles alienate <em>them<\/em> because they don\u2019t have kids?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Have these self-absorbed twats been paying attention to the news?\u00a0 Remotely even heard about the rapidly falling birth rates?\u00a0 Women who feel empowered to shut the gate toward the continuous survival of the human race until shithead men get their act together?\u00a0 Most Asian countries on an eventual timeline of extinction, because their birth rates have fallen faster than anywhere else?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Like, the way it works is that the more these birth rates fall, and if they were to continue, the human population, as overpopulated as shit is now, eventually does swing in the opposite direction, and sure it would be quite some time from today, but would eventually be on a timeline towards extinction, if none of the societal problems of the world don\u2019t wipe us all out first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">But it\u2019s all summed up with me looking at this ad and service and thinking, are you fucking kidding me?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I think the testimonials are what set me off the worst, people whining about how they\u2019re feeling like pariahs because they don\u2019t have kids, and how hard it is to meet other couples and people.\u00a0 I\u2019m like, mother fuckers, if the shoes were on the other feet, and you\u2019re the ones with kids, and realizing just how much of your general social life much less life\u2019s aspirations you have to put on hold in the name of being somewhat decent parents, maybe, just maybe you\u2019d understand just how tone deaf and asinine such a service is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">To a parent like me, hearing about a service\/app like this is like millionaires who developed an app to help them find more money.\u00a0 I have zero regrets about choosing to become parents, but I\u2019m not going to lie and say that I don\u2019t see my childless friends and not be astounded by the freedom, flexibility and general ability to do whatever the fuck they want that I don\u2019t always think they seem to realize they might be taking for granted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Couples without kids have a degree of freedom that parents will not have for a very, very long time, at least not without the sacrifice of time spent with their children.\u00a0 Them complaining about how hard it is to meet other couples, to me is like, they simply have forgotten how to open their fucking door and step outside, because I can assure these flakes that it\u2019s a whole lot harder to meet couples with kids in tow, than it is without, because our offspring are wild variables completely incapable of controlling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">These out of touch headfucks seem to think that parents meeting parents is such an automatic-in with making friends, but just because our kids get along doesn\u2019t mean the parents will.\u00a0 It helps a little bit, but in the six years I\u2019ve been raising two kids, I can comfortably say that we can probably count on one hand of the parents we actually like, and even still, we\u2019ve never had any sort of meal, play date or social gathering with them at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I will concede that meeting people in this day and age is harder than it\u2019s ever been, due to a variety of factors, be it societal, the stark divides between various socioeconomic, idealistic, classist factors, COVID did a number on peoples\u2019 social skills, and the fact that millennials and on have all been raised by the internet and people just don\u2019t know how to interact with each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">But for couples with no kids to complain about how hard it is to meet other couples with no kids, is tone deaf on a monumental degree, and these cocksuckers have no idea just how easy they have it.\u00a0 Them not being able to have spontaneity, flexibility or meaningful relationships isn\u2019t a problem with all couples with no kids, it\u2019s exclusively just them.\u00a0 Trying to make it an umbrella issue, might unearth a good bit of like-minded couples, but really, it\u2019s just revealing a whole lot of lazy, untalented, uncharismatic assholes out there.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whilst doomscrolling earlier in the day, I came across this ad for some app\/community that was targeting couples with no kids who
