I agree that having kids to cure loneliness is “doing it for the wrong reason”. But I don’t think it’s controversial that having kids does actually cure loneliness.

If the cause of the loneliness is they they aren't socially adept, then how would they find someone to have kids with in the first place?!

And if they do find someone, won't the loneliness be cured already without having kids?

In my experience the world isn’t as black and white as you seem to think.
