It's not that I don't want to raise a child, it's that I feel like I'm already too old to do so properly.
And if I were to adopt or raise a partner's child, I would prefer to present in their life from when they are still little, not once they're already a teenager or older.
I can't imagine reconciling the fact that I missed out on dating women who are young and beautiful. Not saying I deserved a beautiful young woman, but I see others dating, sitting together, talking, holding hands, etc. It's a developmental period I missed. Future looks boring and scary, and pointless.
