Edit: ah yes downvotes. Think about it this way. You meet someone with 6 fingers on each hand, kinda interesting right? Minutes later you meet someone with 5 fingers, also interesting?
- User23 6y agoRaising kids is what every single one of your ancestors did. It’s entirely orthogonal to those other things.
- manwe150 6y agoHaving kids? Probably not. Raising them? Probably yes. Same with fingers: having them is more interesting if they can do something novel with them (say, play an instrument). But this being HN, I know plenty of people that travel a lot (no idea if that’s typical).

- quickthrower2 6y agoSure it depends on you audience though.
