What Guys Said
Hell no!!! Infertility or not wanting children is a huge turn on for me
I don't want a baby crying at 2 am, wasting tons of money in diapers, not having time with your partner, etc
I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker for me but it's definitely something I'd have to think long and hard about. I do know there are some guys that a woman not wanting kids is the perfect match for them as they never want to have kids themselves. So, as long as your honest and upfront on where you stand you will eventually find someone that is willing.
No, it's not. But you didn't say you were infertile. You said you didn't like kids. They are two different things.
Re: update: I can have kids naturally, but I'm not against adopting. I wouldn't be too keen on adopting a kid that belongs to another dude, though. That's his responsibility, not mine.
Cool
For me it isn't, i have two kids from a previous martiage, but if she would have the wish to have a child i can imagine that you can get in a very rocky situation.
For me it is. I would like to be a parent. As for locking pregnant women up in cages, that isn't your place to decide (I'm sure you're aware of that). It might not be the most attractive sight; neither was your mother when she was pregnant with you! It's selfish not to become a parent!
How can that be selfish though? There are lots of kids in the world without a home.
Taking into account differences in birthrates globally, people in western countries (e. g., Canada, the United States, Japan, China, and most European nations) are having kids at a rate below the replacement level. The problems that accompany birthrate isn't in westernized countries.
So basically the world is doomed if they have a high African population? Even though its the largest continent...
African and Middle-Eastern populations are ballooning. Economically, Africa can't sustain it's own population. The 2011 East African drought came a generation after Live Aid rose money to help alleviate poverty in Ethiopia, not far from where the East African drought struck. On top of that, there's considerable political corruption concerning the flow of migrants into Europe. Are you naive enough to think the population growth in Africa is sustainable? Something tells me the money sent to support poverty alleviation initiatives in Africa won't go to the people these programs are purported to help. My motivations aren't ethnically-based. It's more a question of practicality.

Racist
You could cry "RACISM" all you want. There are certain realities, however, that exist. People claim "Postal Code Discrimination" in the Canadian province of Ontario because people in the city pay higher insurance premiums than anywhere else in the country. The issue with that type of an argument is: insurance is predicated on risk assessment. The loss history in Brampton is considerably higher than anywhere else in the country. Of course, the demographics being the way they are in Brampton, people are claiming people from "ethnic minority backgrounds" are discriminated against based on racial bias. Crying racism isn't a substitute for an argument sweetheart.
I'm talking about the City of Brampton with my previous comment. And the purpose of the comment is to illustrate a point that crying "racism" isn't a suitable rebuttal to disprove my points.
It really does depend on your relationship. I for one, at this point in my life would not care if the woman was infertile. I would actual prefer it. Just be up front and honest and everything will turn out ok.
Infertility is a deal breaker, if she has kids that's a deal breaker too. Infertility can be related to girls and poor health. Obese women will have a much harder time being pregnant since hormones are out of whack. So it doesn't help with the "body positivity, yas kween!" mentality. Men don't want to raise other men's kids because it's not theirs and men don't want to come along halfway in a race that women have clearly already run before
According to me, not having kids of our own is not a big deal. There are kids in this world who do not have parents or someone to love them. If I knew that me and my other couldn't bring new life into this world, we'd choose to adopt kids and make their life better than they have right now.
No, there are plenty of guys who don't even want kids, and a man who loves you will accept whatever the reality of your health dictates.
As far as not liking kids, I didn't like kids either until I held my son. I was always scared of getting a girl pregnant, and I was upset when my girlfriend told me she was. Now, I thank god that she did, because it changed my life for the better.
I know I should assume you're making a poor attempt at a joke with that last comment but I can never tell anymore with people...
But I'm not sure I even wsny children or SHOULD have children. So it wouldn't be a deal breaker.
Based on how you started, I thought you were going to say that you definitely want kids. I wasn't joking by the way. As a child i hated seeing it but i dont want the moms feeling bad either.
