Would you marry someone with a kid and be a step parent to them?

No way, not if their real mother was still alive. They'd hate me.

I hate kids anyway.

No.

My biological urge is to ensure the well being of my own young, not somebody elses.

Anyone who does otherwise is a fucking sissy.

Step-parent relationships never work out right anyway.

Hmm, I guess its a pretty big ask, i dont really want to raise another guys unwanted kids, but at the same t ime i could ensure my own reproductive success with a better woman than i could normally get if i do. As long as she has 2 or 3 kids that are mine then thats a success, especially if i am in the same situation and another woman is raising a few kids of mine. Psychologically i dont think i would have a huge issue with it as long as i am reassured that i have been reproductively successful, so as long as she has a few of mine aswell, or i allready have some kids somewhere then i guess yes i could do it.

If I loved the person , yes of course, their children are a part of them.
I don't think I'd agree not to have biological children myself, though.

Only if theyre, like, <5 and the dad's not some stalker around the corner. The job of a step-dad is a thankless and awkward task

Not thankless, but certainly awkward at times.

No. I think that would be hard, and messy. Best off, IMO, just marrying someone who also doesn't have any kids.
