So I'm 31 years old who wants to get married but not have kids. How much do I need to worry about my age?
And please no sexist comments. Thank you.

It's never too late.
I met my (future) wife when I was 40. She's 2.5 years younger. (I don't remember the exact date when we first met.)
We had both had relationships, traveled, had careers, and lived full lives before we met. I treasure my life's experiences. I couldn't have had that much fun if I had been tied down.
I'm like you. I never wanted to raise a family. l didn't want the responsibility. I had been in quite a few very good relationships, but didn't start thinking about finding a life partner and settling down until I was in my mid-30s.
We got married two years later. She wanted to have a baby and I said "Sure". I was attracted to the idea of passing on my genes and family name. But I had severe misgivings about becoming a father that would be more like a grandfather.
After two early-term miscarriages, she didn't want to take any more chances on pregnancy.
One day, years later, she told me that she was glad that we didn't have any kids to worry about or bother us.
We've been happily married now for 26 years. We had a lot of fun and have built a wonderful life together. And we think we are better off never having children.
Your ag and not wanting kids won't prevent you from finding a partner, especially if you're OK with him already being a father. You're still young.

I'm 42 and already have a son so your age is perfect.
I usually look for women 30 to 45 years old. Occasionally I'll meet one in her early 20's who is super smart and I can't resist but feel attracted to that, but usually I want women in my age group so I feel more comfortable with my own age in the relationship.
You don't feel that with women your age?
Sorry, I don't understand.
I feel most comfortable dating women closer to my age just because we're both starting to get older and we're more compatible than a 42 year old man trying to look good with a woman in her 20's.
I mean that you don't feel the same energy as you do with the 20 year old?
I do.
The oldest woman I dated was 44 and I fell deeply in love with her for about 2 years.
My ex-wife was my exact age, like a month older than me and she was actually born in the hospital at the end of the street where I grew up, lol.
Just occasionally on the internet I get a random woman in her early 20's send me a message and sometimes we start talking and have chemistry, but mostly I try to avoid that because we are at different stages in our lives. Also physically I would feel kinda old being with her.
I see and thanks for sharing that.
How old is your son?
You're welcome.
My son is 15 now, he was born when I was 27.
That's nice. Thanks for your opinions. Have a nice day
Your age doesn't matter.
Your looks matter, but taste in looks varies from person to person.
Your views, interests, and hobbies matter.
Your health habits matter (ie i won't date alcohol drinkers, smokers, potheads, or other drug users)
Well my looks are average... My habbits are good.
I almost always date older. Your posted age is actually on the younger side of my usual.
If I were to consider marriage, that age and not wanting kids would not matter as I'm sterile.
Hitting the wall and not wanting kids? how feminist, good luck with finding a man.
As long as she's a consenting adult over 25, I could care less about a woman's age. For me, it's ALL about a compatible complementary personality.
I've since I was a teenager, upto 5 years older than me.
Dated***
Older so you'd be fine
I don't want kids either with the overpopulation, the liberal molesters or just perpetuating my vile DNA
For 22 years old guy u No need to worry. Would y marry for a 22 years old guy? Just for an idea, I am not making any real offer.
Since you don't want kids, being 31 is not that big of a deal.
some like older, some like younger
I'm into younger and READY TO MAKE KIDS
Since you don't want kids your age is unimportant.
