Do guys even like kids? Like when a teenage girl gets pregnant they will leave, being off limits to date someone with kids, and sometimes [older] guys leaving their wife/girlfriend if they get pregnant. I thought guys would love babies/kids! Do they?

Sure...

The problem you are describing, however, doesn't have to do with guys liking kids or not. Rather, it has more to do with guys who don't want the RESPONSIBLITIES that go along with them.

In the case of the pregnant teenage girl, the goal was sex with no responsibilities or consequences.

Same for the older people who do the same thing.

Dating people who already have kids, however, is usually NOT because they wish to avoid responsibility for the kids, it's because they don't want to deal with the "baggage" that comes along with them in the relationship. It's hard enough to get to know a person and develop a stable relationship as it is without having to deal with the issues that children who are not your own as well: things like the ex-husband or ex-wife, stresses caused with children who know you are not their Daddy or Mommy, conflicts between the natural parents and the "outsider" over matters having to do with the children, and so forth.

And, of course, some guys really DON'T want or like children.

This isn't something where a single label will describe EVERY guy.

This is part of the reason why the responsibilities inherent with sex and pregnancy should be well thought out BEFORE engaging in sexual behaviors.

You'll STILL have some jerks, though.

Heey..
I'm a boy and i like kids...
I even planned to build a foster home one day..
Just because you saw some cases,doesn't mean every guy hates kids..
There are some girls who hate kids too,am i right..

The point is,good people are good,bad people are bad.. No matter what their genders are,where they came from or what's their skin color.. Everyone is different and you can't judge someone by the way he/she looks

Women have a "maternal instinct". Most men do not. It's part of our evolutionary heritage. +3

the guys you describe above dont dislike kids any more then the welfare queen, drug addicted mothers that neglect their kids and dump them off on someone else while they go out partying

Depends on the guy they are not all the same.

We do, though admittedly we'll gladly leave the nappy changing and similar chores to the mother :)

Some of us, do.

Some few men don't like kids. Generally speaking, men love kids as much as women do. Any man who leaves a child who wants or needs him is the lowest form of scum on the planet. I have ZERO respect for any man who does that.

It's like the The Chief said, most men like kids they just don't want the responsibility of them.

What you are describing is shirking responsibility. These individuals could love babies as long as they are somebody else's. They just don't want to be responsible for the mother and the baby coming their way.

I'm not sure it’s that we don't like children I think this is a case of something that is very evolutionary based instinct like "warrior11" said but, not the way he said it.

The thing is that as human animals on this planet, of the homo-sapiens family, it is natural for males too; protect the young, protect our territory. Females hunt and bring food back to the males & feed the young.

Because of the imaginary social structure that our technology allows us the luxury of having the male was expected to protect the female, provide and protect the home/territory, provide the means to eat/money (modern hunting).

Then something changed. Women wanted to be treated equal to men and so a generation of little boys where raised by mothers that told them mommy is strong and independant and can do it on her own, unlike the generations before that were told you wait until your father comes home.

This new generation in turn believes their mothers and when they get a girl pregnant they decide hey momma she women are strong enough to do it on their own so I'm not needed here, and they leave. It’s a vicious circle in my opinion.

Lots of guys LOVE kids. They don't all leave... I think some of the reason is that they're just not prepared and they get kind of scared.

Not all women love children or babies. The difference is that when a woman gets pregnant.. she can't just leave because she's freaked out like a man is capable of doing. Instead... some of them have abortions.

Hey im a guy, and iv told my girl friend countless times if she gets pregnant il be there for her unlike most guys. Alot of Guys love children they just don't want to be a father at a young age. Another reason a guy would leave his girl friend is that the girl dose not want him anywhere near her, also sometimes the parents have something to do with their sons discession, like the girls dad is gonna kill him, or military school. So don't go against guys just for a few cases.
