Is it hard to find a man who wants no kids?

Certainly not impossible, but more difficult for sure. Especially for marriage - the laws are so one-sided that most men don't have a good reason to risk so much unless they want kids.
I would say that you need to make this known to any man you are considering to date, and to be prepared for them to say that you aren't compatible with their long-term goals. You WILL find guys who don't want kids but want a serious, committed relationship, but maybe not marriage, or maybe only with a prenuptial agreement, so if he knows that you would be okay with that, you'll have an easier time.
Being honest from the beginning is the most important thing.
Good summary. A girl clutching a prenup could be far more attractive.
In my jurisprudence if you weren't married you weren't married so it was reasonably safe to form a long term relationship. However 'leave was granted' to apply to family courts to defacto couples... defacto wives in practice No legislation that was debated but simply a judge's common law decision.
Immediately it was highly unsafe to be in long term relationships. If the girl brought in a lot less assets then you were almost certain to lose yours.
Prenups are a little unsafe to rely on because if a guy says If you sign this prenup I will marry you then there is an element of duress and a court may not uphold it.
I don't want any kids. I'm not doing that every other weekend share the kids bs when we break up because she doesn't love me anymore.
This! This is the main reason why I don’t want them. Im not trying to be stuck with them if he leaves me
I am sure now a days there is plenty of guys that don't want kids. My brother and I we were forced to take care of our younger siblings he is 27 And he has no desire to have kids. I don't blame him we were kids taking care of kids which it should had been my mom's responsibility since she is a crazy Catholic freak who thinks God hates birth control. My mom had total of 9 kids. Let's just say my siblings and I raised similar like the Duggars. Lol
Its harder to find a man who wants kids, especially one who will want them in his 20s. You’re in luck because it seems like most men dont want them at all these days
Thats because most children are the destroyers of sleep, property, finances, free time, and sanity. xD
Yes they are!!!
Some people just can't handle
Responsibility. Jobs can also destroy sleep, free time, sanity and your finances since job security is not promised. I dont let parenthood scare me. But to each its own
Mmmmm i will disagree. I already have my career and it’s super easy for me to keep, and find a job…
I work Tuesday-Saturday, 8 hour shifts. I have plenty of freedom and im pretty good at budgeting my money. A kid would ruin my life😂and put me in financial debt
Kids aren't that expensive outside of medical bills. But like i said i get it. If you dont want em you dont want em
@Brittanyroseee
we think kids are worth the stress, all the work. Because our children inherently gives us so much overwhelming joy that it makes all that hard work worth it. Our children also gives us the energy, motivation, strength to wake up everyday and work hard. You can't understand because having kids give you no joy. And trust me, its the people who "don't want kids" that make the worst parents.
@DizzyDesii
the joy of having children is worth all the money spent. The happiness having children is priceless. Its a joy that money can't buy.
Kids ARE expensive. They cost on average 300k until their 18 years old. That is the statistics. Google it!
@Brittanyroseee
it doesn't cost 300k to raise a kid if you budget right. I certainly haven't consumed 300k my entire life and I'm only 27 years old.
@pupluv45 kids are NOT worth the stress, money expenses, etc. It is worth it to people who WANT them, who DESIRE them. Who are willing to sacrifice everything for them. Not everyone wants to do that and it’s fine lol. I literally have no interest in kids… none. I don’t even find infants cute… i prefer animals far more. Much less expensive, not as time consuming, and they don’t take away your freedom or privacy or cost thousands of dollars a month
Kids are still expensive and not something i would waste my money on😩👋🏼
@Brittanyroseee
Well I'm planning on having my kid when I hit my early 30s and trust me when I say that the day my child is born is the HAPPIEST day of my life.
That is YOUR opinion lol
It will be the HAPPIEST day of my life once i get my DREAM dog!!!
Google it, read the statistics. Kids are not cheap😂
@pupluv45 i agree about the joy and yes they are not that expensive. The people who go broke are usually the ones who thinks a one year old needs a motorcycle or atv lmao. You just have to know how to budget. My mom didn't have a lot of money but she got us everything we wanted. And we were humble kids not materialistic so we didn't even start wanting things til like age 10. She gave us her time and attention and that was the main thing we wanted :)
Animals are more loyal😂humans SUCK ass bro
Your crotch goblin could end up becoming a serial killer or mass shooter….😂😂😂😂😂👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼😩
You cannot guarantee that your crotch goblin will love you all wholeheartedly and be innocent lol. So many cases of evil kids, child killers😩
Im not big on animals So i dont see them the way i see kids. I wouldn't cry over an animal. I’d certainly eat an animal. But like i said, if thats what you want, its your life. I’ll go my way (with kids), you go yours (with pets). You two have a good day :)
Kids are expensive 😂unless y’all are fine being broke bums married to a broke ass man… struggling to raise kids on the bare minimum 😂 kids are very expensive and time consuming
Animals are much better than humans let alone babies and kids. They are cute. Kids are not. Babies look like naked gremlins
www.usda.gov/.../cost-raising-child I suggest y’all read this😂they are NOT cheap
Im not wrong😂😂😂
@Brittanyroseee
I really love animals too. I really wanted a dog my whole life. But my bond with my own baby would be more precious and stronger than any dog.
I love my dog. But my child is my life. Thats the difference
My friends have kids, i ignore their infant child and pay attention to their pets…
That is YOU. Not me😂😂😂😂
A child would be a burden on me
Im being honest girls
@Brittanyroseee
of course you are wrong. I am living proof you are wrong. My parents only made 24k a year and managed to raise a family of 4 for 18 years. My parents would never been able afford to have spent 300k on me.
We are not our parents. I have saved for many many years to prepare so im not worried about finances, man or not. I've even considered invitro because the men i am into (men of the same age) are not quite ready or mature enough to want kids yet. So no im not worried about expenses and like i said its all about spending wisely. people spend crazy on their pets and that is the same choice that some parents made when they went broke and considered kids expensive. Thats all i have to say
@Brittanyroseee
there are women out there who actually are intelligent, successful , educated and worked hard for their riches. These women have no problem raising kids. Not all women are broke, on a budget,
@DizzyDesii
what I meant by "my child is my life" means we care as much about our children as much as we care about our lives. If our lives are good but our kids lives aren't good, we will still be suffering. Our world will still be turned upside down if our kids aren't doing well. We would give up anything for our children to have good lives. This is what I meant.
Thats all of y’all’s opinions, not mine.
Id never die for my child😂😂😂
I can’t speak on any of this cuz I don’t have em and don’t want em
Again, not wrong. Read the statistics. Y’all parents were broke and probably struggled to raise 4 kids on that income. Won’t be me😂won’t even be me if i was rich rich
@Brittanyroseee
Imagine being rich and also having that incredible connection. Both these things are something you don't have. Often times a mother's bond to her children is stronger than her bond to her husband.
Ok so I'm not reading all of this thread because I'm tired. but I will say that I do not mind responsibilities, so much so that I'd take john hammond's job if it existed.
I'm the work smart not hard entrepeneur type, I would prefer having multiple passive incomes while running a business on reasonable hours, and this sort of lifestyle is not robbing of sleep, free time, sanity (I enjoy creating things), or finances (any money spent would get a huge return).
But yes, regular blue collar jobs definitely can (and often do) do all of those things (especially destroying sanity and free time), which is why I'm working my way out of that.
As far as the cost of raising children goes, if I were to have children, I would be the type of father to pay for college and private tutors, buy them their first (high end) car, get them upper class career connections, teach them to play orchestral instruments, make art, code, build a house, build tech, etc. Give them access to my grand library and workshop, basically the silver spoon kind of parenting, It would cost a fortune and be extremely time consuming.
Or I could simply do all that stuff for just myself and save money, time, etc.
I have nothing against people who want kids, but its not for me.
@TheSpaceGnome
I have nothing against your own preferences but the thing that you don't understand is:
people want kids because it gives them the utmost joy which is why they don't care how much they have to spend on their kids. Sometimes this joy is worth sacrificing for.
when kids contribute so much joy to your life, the last thing you would view them as is a liability.
this is how we think.
@pupluv45 I view my art and projects that way, to replace time spent on them with time spent on kids would leave me miserable.
Also I already understand that, it doesn't mean I have to share the viewpoint. I'm not willing to make sacrifices, I want to go the opposite direction in life, and drastically improve my own life quality.
To me, a kid wouldn’t bring me joy. Im just being honest haha
A husband, career, money and pets is all i want/need!
@Brittanyroseee
rich people don't complain about the price of having kids. Its pretty obvious you're not rich.
Did i say i was? I said IF i was i still wouldn’t have them cuz they are a huge ass responsibility and sacrifice. Not for me
Get glasses
I also said I don’t feel emotional connections with babies or kids
@Brittanyroseee
I really don't know why you had to repeat the same thing over and over again.
what's your purpose?
You be saying the same thing too girl. Bye. Animals rock! Humans suck!!!
@Brittanyroseee
i think its cuz you're jealous.
Not at all😂😂😂😂😂😂
I got nothing to be jealous of😂

Yes it is very hard to find such a man who has not been married. The drive for seed and extension of Family line is insurmountable for most guys.
Damn😂
Oh no😂😂😂😂😂I wouldn’t even want to parent a mans previous kids🙃
I don't know what that even means😂
Apparently not.
At age 24, you should be able to find plenty of single guys & married guys who want to have sex with a young gal who doesn't want to have kids. Finding somebody to marry who doesn't want kids will be more difficult. If you don't want kids, then there really isn't much reason to get married to a guy. You can love each other for decades without the weight of the legal system bearing down upon you. If things eventually don't work out, you can give each other a hug and wish each other the best in their future. That's not how marriages end (with attorneys fighting each other for every last dollar of marital assets).
You'll always have two other options that won't lead to any kids and will prevent you from "ending up alone":
1- Fall in love with a lesbian or
2- Fall in love with a few cats. Many elderly women are on this path.
Good luck. You might change your mind over the next 5 or 6 years. Above all, if you know in your heart you would be a lousy mother, then don't have any kids.
😩I don’t have a motherly instinct. I don’t find babies or kids appealing or interesting honestly. I could care less like some of my friends have kids and I literally ignore their child, but i pay attention to their animals that they own…
They are also expensive af, i prefer money to myself. I see kids as an unnecessary way to spend money but that’s obviously my opinion. Like i just think their “extra” add ons that you choose to add into your life. For me, important things to spend money on are rent, bills, groceries, medical expenses, car insurance, and obviously things i like to gift to myself here and there. A child to me, is just an add on to things that are actually important and needed to survive
Also, another reason why I don’t want them cuz what if the dude leaves me for whatever reason? I end up alone as a single mom. Its even worse if he chooses to not be around which there's tons of cases where one of the parents don’t want to be involved. Even if he is involved, I won’t be able to move on. I would be forced to stay in contact with him. The child would be a burden on me.
You make sound very logical points about not wanting to be a mom. You're lucky to be living in an era where there isn't so much PRESSURE to get married and have babies. Back in the day, young women were EXPECTED to be married by age 20 and have 3 or 4 kids by age 28. Nowadays, it's much more common for women to follow their own dreams, rather than get pressured into following what they are EXPECTED to do. Listen to your gut... you won't regret it.
Yeah! I agree! Thank you! Exactly
I don't think it would be too hard, but you have to be pretty clear-cut about that stuff very early on, and you have to be prepared for the possibility that people change over time.
Some people, maybe even a lot or most people, need to find the right person to want to have kids. I know that the girl I'm dating now wasn't sure if she wanted kids before, but as soon as she met me, her tune totally changed and you'd think being a mom was her greatest ambition in life.
I'm not particularly inspired one way or the other to have kids, and the fact she wasn't too inspired either was a major point of attraction for me. Now that her attitude has changed, I've needed to rethink how I feel about having kids. I'm still not totally sold on the idea, but I know that if she is enthusiastic about it; I'll do everything in my power to love and support her and the kids if/when the time comes.
Nope, there are likely some guys out there that don't want to bring kids into this world. It may take you a little while to find em.
Your friends are just sheeps. There's more and more people that do not want kids. I am 1 of them. I know other guys my age no kids. I find it more rare to find women who don't want kids. I've even spoken 3 women that didn't want kids , yet 1 had 2 kids now and other one just got pregnant... Now at my age, there only single moms. :(
You don't you want kids? Ahh, that's a shame; you looked drop-dead beautiful, Bonnie. I would have fancied myself a woman like you.
Well, on to the next one.
Nope I don’t 😂😂😂
No.
But you'll attract 101 fuckboys who want to "pump and dump," and leave you unhappy, before you come across one.
Mainly as "no kids" means you're either insufferable, an attention whore, genetically flawed or have family/personal issues.
I mean if you want to find a guy who did Jackass stunts and he says, "hey sweetheart, I have to confess something to you. I did a ton of nut shot videos with the fellas back in my high school days". That seems fairly self-explanatory.
It can be. I don't and made sure I couldn't. Your best bet may be to look for a guy who is indifferent about having them. The way I see it is, if my girlfriend and I decide we want kids later we can try adopting. Obviously we'll be married before then.
Popular to what you may think there are a lot of guys who don’t want kids, and while they may not be your perfectly handsome they may just be your average joe, but there are more than you think that are single and have no kids.
There’s plenty of guys who don’t want kids. My boyfriend doesn’t and neither do I
No I think there are still plenty of guys who don’t want kids.
Probably. Seems like most people desire to make their lives 100x harder than need be. I have step children, but none of my own and don’t want any.
It'll surely limit your options, but there are plenty of men who don't want kids
We exist. We just don't care for the drama when we mention it so we normally dont.
I gotta find someone who wants no kids😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol like I said. We exist. But we don't hold weekly meetings (like the elks lodge) haha
It depends on where you live. You could probably find a liberal guy on the East Coast who wouldn't want kids in order to "fight climate change." Regardless, most manly men want legacy, and that includes children. You may be damaged to the point where an actually masculine man is unappealing to you, but any guy that is of a demeanor that normal women find attractive would want kids.
Im not a liberal lol
I also give off more masculine energy than feminine lol
I just don’t want to deal with crotch goblins
I hear you, but "masculine energy" is ubiquitous in modern women (liberal or "conservative"), many of which don't want kids. However, a comparable number of men have not adjusted to be attracted to this, and those that ARE are probably not the type of guys women are generally interested in.
Short-sighted people often don't want kids, and this isn't an insult, it's just that you're young and your view of life is compressed by your limited years. Sure, not having kids in your 20's can be fun, and FREEing, but it's a very different experience later in life. Not to say you'll necessarily want children at any stage, but in the modern world most people are short-sighted (hedonists, i. e. do whatever feels good). Nevertheless most men want children; so, yes It'll be hard to find one who doesn't, and even harder to find a guy in this group who you'll actually be interested in.
I have always known I didn’t want kids.. since i was in middle school lol
I enjoy being able to do whatever i want when i want
I also enjoying not spending money on a child lol
So, you just made my point. You don't want any responsibility, and you want to spend all your money on yourself. I can say this is selfish, but realistically it's just a default for people in our hedonistic society: do whatever feels good. It doesn't (at least initially) feel good to take on responsibilities, including children. It doesn't feel good to do for others when you could take those resources to do for yourself. Again, not demonizing you, but that selfish mindset is not only common, but I would speculate it's probably not a good mindset for a relationship.
Say you find a guy that you like, and say he doesn't want kids. What realistic chance do you two have of working out when you're that selfish of a person, and you don't like responsibilities?
Sir, there is nothing selfish about me wanting to live my life the way i want, and spend my money the way i want…. Kids are not a requirement. I don’t have a motherly instinct… never did. Would you prefer me to birth a child I won’t feel an emotional connection to?… i prefer animals much more over human children. I don’t find kids to be interesting or even “cute”. I also don’t want to be stuck with it, in case the dad leaves me. I would end up seeing the kid as a burden, and I wouldn’t move on from the dad. Whereas i get married and have no kids, and the guy leaves me for whatever reason, no ties at all to that man. Done with. Good bye. No baggage to carry or take on.
I don’t need to take responsibility of children…. i have enough responsibilities. Not adding unnecessary things onto it. And your question about a guy wanting kids and I don’t? Well, i would make it clear from the beginning first of all. Second of all, if he wants to end the relationship because I don’t want to have them, go ahead!!!
It's an advantage to you to have no connection between you and a life partner?
I don't know if there's a correlation to this, but your reluctance for attachments seems to go towards partners and children alike.
Again, would you want me to have a child I won’t care much about?….. tons of people have kids that they end up neglecting…
I can have a connection with my life partner without having a child…. My brother is married. Him and his wife have no kids cuz they decided not to.. they have a bunch of pets instead. That’s what i would prefer.
And you are correct, i do not allow myself to get attached to people anyway. I would get attached to my life partner, but not to the child once again. I don’t have a motherly or paternal instinct when it comes to human children. I don’t have any interest in raising kids, dealing with them, being around them, etc. I have ALWAYS been this way since i was a kid myself. Never been a fan of babies or small toddlers. I don’t find them “cute” like many people. I have all of these emotions towards animals.
I also value my freedom, privacy, money, doing whatever i want, whenever i want. Having money to myself, being able to be alone. I like peace and quiet. I don’t want to deal with tantrums, or whining, or waking up every hour in the night to feed a baby…
Oh, one thing. I also want 0 ties to the guy. If he leaves me for whatever reason, i can easily move on. Never see him again. If a child is involved, mmm not too much unless he wants nothing to do with the child then im completely stuck with it. Yea. No😂😂😂happens to people a lot! Either lady or man does it.
Your low tolerance for children sounds like it may translate to a partner quite easily. You don't have privacy when you have a partner. I doubt you're going to make much money in life; so, finances will be a concern regardless. And being able to be alone? What do you think a life partner is? Like you see each other every other weekend?
This is just a speculation, but you seem incredibly emotionally damaged (I have combat-related PTSD, so I know it when I see it). You don't want anything tying you together; so, again, how do you think your selfishness, impatience with people, and need to maintain everyone at arms length will translate to a partnership? Lady, you're an absolute wreck. I'm not suggesting you have children, in fact you should NOT have children, or a partner in your current state.
Sir, exactly. I won’t make as much money. So why would i waste the only money i have on kids? Kids are expensive as shit, time consuming, so on.
About being alone with a life partner, you give eachother respect to have alone time and to see other people… being in a relationship is not the same as raising a child lol
LOL. What is wrong about not wanting to be tied to someone or be tied down to a huge life commitment?😂😂😂
If i get married and he leaves me, i can easily move on. No more contact. With a kid? Not so much😂😂😂
I don't know what the issue is😂
Lady, you need therapy. Your priorities are all out of whack, and you schemas will lead to nothing good.
Im wack because I don’t want the responsibility of a child?😂😂😂😂😂wtf. Its a free fucking world.
My priorities are me.
A child is not an important priority to me😂
I don’t like kids😂😂😂😂would you prefer me to have a child I won’t care much about?….
Its my life, not yours😂its a free fucking world. I can decide how i live it. If anything you are wack😂
Literally man even if i was married and got pregnant, i would still have an abortion 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Idc about babies or kids…😂😂😂😂😂😂i prefer animals way way more😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I want a puppy and a kitten. Not a screaming crotch gremlin that sits in its own crap, demands shit 24/7, wakes you up every hour of the night. Takes your freedom away, drains your wallet, is needy, throws tantrums in public, whines because you didn’t get them what they want, so on. I would kill myself if i was forced into that lifestyle 😂
I know this is lost on you, but take a step away from yourself, look at your responses and evaluate the person who wrote all that (w/ 100 emojis). You're chaos. I don't think you should have kids, and I don't think a guy would see the value in inviting that type of chaos in your life. You're selfish, self-centered, self-consumed, antisocial, and hate attachments. Kids are the last thing you should be thinking about.
I definitely won’t have kids😂 i never thought about having them. Thanks though!
Im allowed to be selfish. Its a free fucking world. Am i not allowed to put myself as the number one priority? Wtf😂im the most important person in my life😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Again, I don’t want to be tied down to someone. There is nothing wrong with that lol.
It's actually not a "free world"- I don't know why you're trying to make your point with empty slogans. Every society has norms, and healthy humans are social animals. If a society and the humans therein are healthy (mentally, physically, emotionally) they foster connections, form connections, and propagate themselves- the society grows and cohesion provides safety and stability. When a society is unhealthy people become atomized, connections are not forthcoming, and the society declines as it fails/ refuses to propagate itself.
Take away all your empty slogans, or Leftist ideology, and if you look at the human animal it's very clear what are healthy/ social behaviors, and what are not. You are NOT healthy, and whether it be from an unhealthy family, or an unhealthy society, you have some serious problems, and while idc about you one bit, it'd be disingenuous to say what you've expressed is that of a healthy person.
Idc about society norms. 😂😂😂i guess im unhealthy because I don’t want to have kids and be tied down to someone. Again, its my life. I can do what i want.
I really could care less about your opinion
I have no problems😂you are just saying that because I don’t want to raise kids and be tied down to someone lol
It’s literally my life bro… im the number one priority in MY life. Not a potential child, not a potential mate. ME. I put myself first and i can decide how i want to live my life
I choose to not birth kids. Get over it lol
I made my point clear😂👋🏼btw attachment towards people is extremely unhealthy lol.
I guess me not wanting a bond with a kid makes me unhealthy and not normal 😂😂😂😂😂😂so wack
The number of replies tells me you know I'm right
Nope. Your not. Kids would make me miserable. Im just proving my point. Attachment is very unhealthy. People are toxic. Im good!
IDGAF about society standards. Imma do what i want to do.
I don’t want to have kids. Sorry!
Im 31 and don't want kids, never have never will. But I had no luck finding a guy who doesn't want kids.
Well I don't know if I'm ugly or not but I definitely don't want kids. Pretty sure there's quite a few guys who don't kids.
I’m curious to know why don’t you want kids. My little sister use to feel the same way, she said they’re like little drunk people lol
Expensive. Unnecessarily expensive
Time consuming
“Like little drunk people.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
@Brittany
Don’t forget energy draining and life limiting.
You could just do what most these days seem to do. Just have them anyway and leave them to their own devices.
Many reproduce and then realize: “wait I have 0 time or energy for anything, plus I have to be an involved parent and teach them and monitor them and go to the school play too…. too much work, I’ll just let the internet and Netflix raise them.”
Heh, I guess they are like little drunk people 🤔, and I can't stand drunk people either 😂
