Perhaps a better title is "being an evolutionary success".

I've thought a lot about this for a few years. The more I see, the more it seems like a viable option.
Relationships are just so dicey. I mean at least the forever together true love type. Or even the family type. I've had the rug pulled out from under me completely several times.
I did a lot of reflection, even took one of those Tony Robbins courses. With all the instability and the idea I could die any day, an idea became more attractive. I thought of what I had enjoyed most of life. Well, for one, I remember improving myself in as many areas as possible. Education, physical, as a person, etc., Everything just clicking. And I I remember falling in love, or at least having someone really like me, and having sex with them. The ultimate is when they like you enough to want you to come in them. For me, that's awesome. And from an evolutionary point of view, you are a success at continuing yourself. Even most religions put an emphasis on lineage, or at least procreation. If you have no kids you are gone. The best you can hope for is some sanitary abstract remembrance of some works you did.
But relationships are dicey. Things gp weird. People die. It's just so uncontrollable.
So to make it perfect, get out while the relationship is at a high. All there are are great memories. And no matter what happens, kids would not be alive if it weren't for their father, so there has to be at least some good feeling, and definitely significance,there.
Compare that to someone who lives by all the rules, does what they are supposed to, and gets forgotten or maligned unjustly by some twist of fate, or hit by a car or something. Nothing.
I mean, you could even try to impregnate women on different continents, to increase your evolution chances and promote world peace, at least your desire to work for other people you normally wouldn't in real life for whatever reason.
And underpinning it all would be your sex drive propelling you to greater heights of excellence and improvement in yourself so as to attract better females. Awesomeness all the way around. At least a lot better than what was happening if you didn't take this path.

I mean, ideals of success are upset so easily. In my case, my whole life growing up was centered around some stupid idea I have since found out was false. All gone. All for nothing. And I am being punished for following the truth.
But following your desires, and having kids, can’t mess with that no matter what people say.
Just look at Bob Marley, or Stevie Wonder. They have tons of kids with different women.
If I did this, no matter what else happens to me, I can’t see regretting it. That is significance, and positive it seems.
What’s the alternative – you have no kids and die. Or you have one family, and all die in a car accident?
