In a post on Reddit, 10 men of various ages shared with the Internet why they don't want to become fathers.

1. "Because I don't want my whole life to revolve around being a father. I want to have time for myself, for my partner, friends, parents. I don't want to be an example for a child."

2. "I often say that I never want to be a father because I can't stand babies, but the truth is that it is a very big responsibility to raise a child. Knowing myself, I will destroy his childhood and his life."

3. "Because I don't want to be like my father! He was a real failure and most likely, so was his father, so my grandfather."

4. "I want to achieve my goals and fulfill my dreams. I think when you have a child, you don't have time to fulfill them."

5. "I never want to be a father because I can't manage my anger."

6. "It's that simple: I don't like children!".

7. "I don't want to have children because I come from a family that didn't love me. I know the feeling very well and I don't want to repeat the same cycle."

8. "I don't want to pass on the mental illness I suffer from to an innocent creature."

9. "Because I will end up hating and abandoning the child."

10. "Because my whole life is going to take a different direction and I don't want that."
