Seeking a mate or procreation with the goal of having someone to help you in old age is just as, no, more selfish than being independent.

- worthless-trash 4y agoRarely are goals so one dimensional, there are costs in having and raising children, the benefit of company and family flows both ways.
- slowmovintarget 4y agoBeing independent is the opposite of selfish. Seeking a mate and raising children used to be considered a duty to society, where, as a side-effect, and not the main intent, you got assistance in old age, and provided assistance to your children in raising theirs. You're right that seeking the side-effect is wrong-headed and selfish.
