no wife, no kids and no plans for either...

I can see where she's coming from, but it's just as easy to die in a cage, or buying a cola at the supermarket, or in your sleep. I do feel for ya though, normal women are hard enough to reason with... throw in the pregnancy hormones and its definitely an uphill battle

Congrats on the new baby. First?. I think having young kids tends to shrink the nads of most men. I mean that in a good way. Probably mother nature's way of keeping fathers around to care for the family.

They may not give up risk taking altogether especially if it's part of their job but I think there's an instinctive tendency to be more careful.

So, ride on if you must. But be careful, and carry alot of life and disability insurance.
