The only way I'll ever have children is through adoption but it seems most guys want biological children.

Most of the guys I met would say that they fear that they wouldn't see an adopted child as theirs which honestly breaks my heart a little.

I did some research and apparently most adoptive parents generally chose that option because the man is infertile, not the other way around.

So it would seem like most men are only contemplating adoption if they're infertile themselves but if their partner is they'll prefer to just get a different girlfriend over adopting kids.

Let me know if you think this is not the case, I want to believe you.

Yea it is one of those inherent desires programmed by evolution it is apparent in the animal kingdom. Species like Lions will generally kill the cubs of rivals when they become the alpha. Thing is you could probably easily find a guy that would be happy to adopt, but as you see in this thread those people are generally resentful of their genes. Are any of these people attractive to you? Someone that considers their own genes unworthy??? Who are you attracted to is it a healthy man with a healthy desire to propagate life?
