Do you have any friends or relatives who refuse to try ramen or pho, no matter how many times you tell them that it's the best food ever, and that you also thought it seemed weird to put steak in a broth with noodles until you finally gave it a try and then you couldn't believe how delicious it was and you wish you'd tried it years earlier... but they still think it sounds gross?
It's exactly like that. :-)
- bowsamic 3y agoRamen and pho isn't that good though. I've had gross ramen. I don't understand your analogy.
- aqme28 3y agoSome kids are also not good, so at least that part of the analogy tracks.
- vander_elst 3y agoExcept that kids change your life in major significant ways and there's basically no going back. So it's not exactly like that.
- paulryanrogers 3y agoKids don't always change ones life for the better. Some people deeply regret it regardless of how the kids turn out.
- drawfloat 3y agoYou're not responsible for a bowl of noodles for the rest of your life.
- 627467 3y agoActually: wouldn't it be great if most people thought we actually have a level of responsibility for other for the rest of our lives?
- kelnos 3y agoIt's absolutely not like that at all. Equating encouragement to try a new food and encouragement to bring another life into the world is... a bit silly.
- lionkor 3y agoSilly, but a good way to get across the point that you dont know what youre missing out on, or something
- antifa 3y agoPeople will hold up a plate of dog shit and tell me I'm missing out, it's not a good point at all. If you don't believe me, I've got some cousin NFTs you wouldn't want to miss out on.
- filleduchaos 3y agoI'm not sure what conclusion I'm supposed to be drawing here, because I don't at all consider it normal to keep hounding someone to try any meal after they've refused it a couple of times.
