Gf Says No Kids = Loneliness?

Could you be a little more generic? FFS, I teach kids, and they are amazing.

No, they're boring, mewling little cabbages that love nothing more than to break everything you own.
Sure, theres the odd exception that stands apart but the majority are the very essence of generic. The only thing more tedious are the dipshit parents who think their little bundles of joy deserve special treatment and see fit to reward them with sugar coated treats for being obnoxious twats.

Kids are assholes when you're a kid, they're assholes when you're a teenager and they're assholes when you're an adult.

Well yes, children under the age of about 12 have not developed empathy or conscience, so are little sociopaths. As a child I was a real little cunt;smart, devious, ruthless and utterly self centred. As an adult I'm a bit less ruthless as I'm burdened with an inconvenient vestigal Catholic conscience.

Children can also be endearing, and fascinating to be around. I know this to be true because I met one like that once,in England in 2000. He was the 11 year son of my host. He was highly intelligent, witty and good company,just like being with a real person. Last I heard the kid was over 6 feet ,rather lumpy, and busy bonking his way through the female student body of a small English University. I knew I was right to like him.

I guess a teacher would probably run across quite a few interesting little nose miners.

You're twenty-two. Wait a while, grasshopper. You may yet come to see just how amazing they are, and how wrong you are in your barn door brushwork here. I've been teaching for sixteen years in all, and kids are fantastic. They are so very not generic. You would have to actually interact with them on a larger scale to learn the error of your statement. Jackman has put it rightly up above.

You have your nephew dive on your hundred pound glasses and see how filled with wonder you are.
What pissed me off the most is his Dad didn't even punish him properly. Apparantly no sweets for a month is "too harsh".
If he wasn't my brother and didn't have problems with his back I swear I would of broken his fucking jaw.

... Reading through that I think I may be biased.

I left out important information. It is not that I dislike kids. I just don't want my own (biological) kid. I would even consider adoption or being with a single mom. But I guess there would likely not be such a strong bond that way?

Don't let someone tell you this. You can build just as strong of a bond with an adoptive child.

I find that most of the time I prefer a whimsical conversation with a child over that of the usual conversations I have with adults.

And yes, children's television can be quite terrible. It also seems that the more intolerable the show, the more the kids like it. I'm not sure how many more times I can hear 'Party in My Tummy.'

"Party in My Tummy"? Sounds like something a porn swan might come up with.
