Is it normal to try to get pregnant from successful guy?

I feel like I messed up my life, I haven't accomplished anything at 30. First I contemplated suicide but now I am thinking of trying to become pregnant from a successful guy by lying to him, pretending to be as successful as him. Then at least the child would have halfway good genes. Should I do it? Why/ why not?

    "[...] pregnant from a successful guy by lying to him, pretending to be as successful as him."

    It'd be a major life lesson to you if he was also lying about his success... poor baby! :/

    • No, I'm not that dumb, I can tell who is successful and who isn't.

        In other words, he has to be dumber than you to NOT notice that you are faking. Sorry cupcake, either you figure out how to be genuinely successful, or your kids will be dumber than you. Your best bet is to go buy sperm from a fertility clinic. Tell them you want a MENSA level donor.

          I beg to differ, McBean, her best bet is not to procreate at all! :P

            I agree. But she is too dumb to understand your rationale. Hopefully, she will understand that any alcohol at all wrecks a fetus' brain. And, hopefully she will read stories to her kids while they are toddlers.

        So you're saying the guy has to be dumb and not be able to tell that about you. Then that would ruin your plan entirely... It's a lose-lose situation you've got there.

    I find it funny how you're disguising it as, "For the child's sake," when it's not even born yet.

    Sounds like you want an easy life with a successful man, and a baby to hold him down; or you want child support from a suessessful man. Or if you manage to have a cute child, you can train it to become an actress or something. These ideas are normal, in fact millions of women do it because they don't want to work or feel their life isn't going to get better, but they are the ones who produced emotionally fucked up children and broken homes.

    It would be better just to focus on yourself and find every healthy solution you can to problems you may have, 30 isnt old, you're young enough to work and find a partner to start a loving family with; your life isn't over.

    • But I messed it up so bad that I can only get shitty partners now who are losers like me and you can only get pregnant as a woman until your mid 30s. From my experience, I always mess everything up so I don't think it's worth trying to improve my life anymore. I feel like it's my last chance to at least get offspring with better chances in life than me.

        If you "[...] always mess everything up [..]" chances are that you will mess that child's head up, don't you think?

        Anyway, I'm assuming (and hoping) that this is just a debate-troll post. If not, even though I never pray, I might even learn how to especially for you.

    Of course they do, for health reasons and to try & estimate the characteristics of resulting infants. How would they assess success and why would they bother?

    Are you so immature that you don't realise a human being results from a pregnancy? There's something seriously wrong with your thinking.

        Don't need to. What she is suggesting is no better than rape.

        Give me a situation where rape is acceptable? I'll wait.

          That's an invalidation of the experiences of rape victim/survivors. What OP is considering is dishonest, manipulative, exploitative and extremely stupid but it's nowhere near as bad as rape

          Mate are you dumb, this isn’t even comparable to rape

    She'll have to make sure she gets some very intelligent sperm to counteract her own stupidity, right?

    If you want to do this then you're going about it the wrong way. There's a perfectly ethical, and a way that also leads to a child with great genes. If you're serious then look at profile from sperm banks. You could probably find professors in there or people in mensa if you looked enough.
