Sure, but they generally have them later in life (ie; not when they're in their teens or early twenties) and they don't have an excessive number of kids.

Hmmmm... guess I'm a SINK.
Then you have the opportunity, along with the DINKs to become one of the TWITS: Those With Income To Squander.
That would be good, as you can squander some of it on personal assistants to help you with things that other people's kids do for them when you get too old to do them for yourself.
I don't know. I would look GREAT pregnant. Chest hair and allNever say never!
But imagine that..
Just remind me, Steve Jobs had kids right? I guess he must be unintelligent then?
If you want to have kids and are in a stable relationship then go for it . Nothing will ever be the same again. If your in a struggling relationship and you think having kids will bring you closer together then forget it.
But the decision has nothing to do with intelligence.
He's actually a terrible example, he was a really crap father - at least on his first attempt at it.
Sorry I've not read the book (does that make me a blasphemer on this site?) I just think intelligent and thick people both have kids. I also think its the same the other way round.
I agree with you 100% on that. And it doesn't make you a blasphemer. I admit I got a kick out of learning what a jerk he was. He's a little too deified on this site sometimes. But that's another discussion.
You know what worse than the down voters? People who complain about the down voters.
Indeed, they are not the smartest people, however, I did find my own path of enlightenment.

One does not equate to the other. There are times when intelligent persons will have children, however, the trend is such that they won't overcome the litters of those far more ignorant and stubborn than those of the few.
Steve was a visionary to be sure. There is no doubt about that-not up for debate.
However, that does not mean he was a good parent. He was actually a pretty bad one. And he was quite the douchebag to his employees.
I think he definitely changed later in life, but we'll see his kids say in the future.
I understand why some people would choose not to have children, but this statement borders on ridiculous.
I have a child. I don't think of him "consuming" anything from me. He's a person, not a pet.
That's because you are not a self-centered, selfish, twit.
Oh, do you have kids?
Did I get some on you? Sorry, untended.
And no, but not for the reasons given by someone previously.
Exactly why my wife and I decided to have children - to tilt the balance the other way.
Seriously, watching my kids' lives unfold has led to some of the highest highs and the lowest lows, but it's never been boring. Although I realize that I probably could have retired by now if we hadn't had children, I don't regret the decision for a moment.
I respect people who've decided not to have kids, though. That's much better than having them because it's expected or because of family pressure.
Absolutely!
Just noticed your reply... my quote notifications just stack up. One of the best episodes. Close to The Slutty Pumpkin and Best Burger in NY.
At the moment I am a SINK. I am not opposed to marriage; if I was looking, I would look for a woman who doesn't want kids, because I can't have any (by choice -- had it taken care of 6 years ago). This complicates things for me, because ethnically I'm Korean, and I would prefer to marry a Korean woman. I haven't met a Korean woman yet who feels the same way that I do about not wanting kids.
