[QUOTE="thoughtgypsy, post: 15589, member: 571"] Is taking steps to improve your chances of success beta? When starting a business, should zero efforts be made to protect yourself from liability, because that means you're acting out of fear? If I'm traveling to a foreign country, and I take steps to avoid getting robbed or kidnapped, does that mean acting out of fear, or being rational? Here's the thing. If I'm just interested in banging a chick, I could care less what happens, since in the end, whatever happens will happen. She's ultimately replaceable. That makes it very easy to have a mindset of outcome independence. If your goal is to eventually start a family and pass on your lineage, that's a completely different story. It entails a tremendous amount of investment in time and resources for the children, and the ability to keep a stable home. I don't see how you could dump that amount of effort into an endeavor while approaching it with a hands off attitude. Unless you're a sociopath, on some subconscious level you're going to care about the fate of your children. I'm still far from the point where I want to start a family, but it remains in the back of my mind. Someday, I will want to pass on my legacy. Is becoming a father beta? Should I pump and dump forever? What is your solution for those who want to be a father someday? [/QUOTE]
