>>81528585male do not have such a thing for decades. Esp. after puberty, once and again, you do get the urge. But the older you get, the more value you get as a man, like spending your time on exactly what you want now, even if these are videogames, or building skills, or earning money, or whatever goals a male might have. All of these displace the children and a wife.
Even in the "almost everybody" married generation, men would constantly bitch about their marriages and do a lot of shit that a male would do anyway, like keeping the house up. So construction. Tinkering. Some engineering aka life hacks. Men are quite content evolutionary with not really having children of their own. While it might be nice, it absolutely is not a must for real males.
Males can have great purpose in saving others or protecting others and making very important decisions that have influence on the life of others and be content too.
Whores and roasties must be grateful. This biology is the only reason so called "betabucks" and "cucks" exist at all. In a civilized society anyway. That's the only reason some males tolerate this retarded sluttery and dating bullshit.
But there are other options too. We know what's good in life and how grateful we are to live a good one, so we quit dating and making babies entirely, because females, not babies usually, but females and so called partnership with them simply aren't worth it in 2025. Because of the law too. No point to make a shite investment and ruin your own life.
TL;DR: Males derive and get "real" meaning from a number of different things. Saving multiple humans is as good or better than having one child of your own in a mind of a male, for example.
