What is your opinion on women who choose not to have children? Do you feel the same about men who make that choice?

Cause. And effect for the women that do not want to have Kids you can't blame them

The world each and every day is changing the people who were hired to protect us and make the right choices for us .


They have been doing the complete opposite. There greed there evil self's has been changing the course of God's plan for 1000s of years.

When we are made perfect all in our own way. We are all meant to learn about how our body heart mind soul spirit our energy works with in. And understand the things we as people can see and feel.

Scientist are just now starting to under stand it. . and you have people who want this removed from the human body in children and a chip put in there brain.

And why would you want to bring a child up in this world that is dirty greedy mentality unstable.
Knowing that the world at anygiving moment could snap. And it's going to be hard enough to take care of yourself , let alone a child.

Other countries are pumping out kids some are not it has shown our country has (USA) HAS SLOWN Way down

[SteveSmith1985]

I have no feelings really about women who choose not to have children. My opinion is a shrug.

I don't really even think about women having, or not having children (or men) as anything upon which moral judgment comes into it at all. It's just a choice people make individually (ideally).

It's different situations and circumstances; and there are a million reasons people make the choices they make. There are a million unexpected things that can come into the mix to leave you with... life not exactly as you expected. That's life.

That's people looking to make the best life they can for themselves, by choosing different things for their own individual reasons.

This to me is like asking "what is your opinion on women who choose not to have a dog".

I like dogs, but I am totally ambivalent about whether or not a woman has one. Or a man.

It's not something I ever think about judging one way or the other.

I understand that a dog is not a kid.

I maintain that for me, personally, this simile is absolutely true. I feel equally ambivalent about the choice to own a dog, or have a kid.

I have no opinion one way or the other. At all. even a little bit. (same for a man).

[Justneedtokno]

I personally don’t have no problem with people deciding not to although other people have issues with people deciding to do what they want to do with their bodies they think they’re selfish which if you don’t decide to do, it makes sense if you don’t want to sit there and take care of of a child that’s fine. That means they may not want to neglect or not be the right person or you never know being a parent is hard childcare is expensive. There’s so many things that push you to not be a parent versus being a parent, the labor alone on a woman’s body. Every woman screams out is so difficult and harsh and scary. Some women suffer greatly. Imagine being the burden to do that alone scary. It is mentally exhausting for some men who feel as if they have to take on everything by themselves so no, there’s no judgment specially nowadays the world is wild


Personally, do I still wanna be a parent? We’ll see what God do.

[Justneedtokno]

Thanks these are very tough decisions and up to the individual to make on their own or with their partner

[PBandJ_Nerd]

It's our choice whether we want to have kids or not. People like me can't because we aren't capable & have disabilities & mental illnesses that would make it difficult to do so (as well as possible risks to our health--but there are always risks to pregnancy in general). Once you're a parent, you're always a parent--you can't decide to opt out of it. This is why people need to think carefully on the decision to have kids or not have them. Most people who decided to not have them have thought long & hard about it & came to the conclusion that parenthood isn't for them. And others have always known they've never wanted kids their entire life.

[Finchie40]

It’s their choice and their decision, not everyone is capable of raising children or providing for children. I have witnessed some couples that were married and decided not to have kids’ because they wanted to spoil each other , and travel the world , which is fine to do. But when it came down to them lying on their death beds they kicked themselves in the ass for not having kids’ because they were all alone when they were dying , so just something to think about. Me personally is happy that I had kids’ and raised my kids’ and love my kids’ with all my heart , but at this point in my life , I couldn’t see myself starting over raising kids’ because my kids’ are older and now I want To travel and do things that I put on hold for my kids’ , so I have the best of both worlds’ is the way I look at it.

[strateguy632]

Wake up! @Finchie40 People have been advocating to westerners, for a decade already, "don't bring kids into this horrible world" and NOBODY but me noticed that OUR western kids will be in a better situation than most the planet... unless we tell each other "yeh it is fine not to have kids". This is NOT isolated to "capable" as you @Finchie40 wrote, so i target your ideas.
In SEVEN YEARS the rate DROPPED from 60% americans age 50 or older, with at least one grandchild to just 50% of them with a grandchild.
It is only "okay" if you want non westerners to rule the u. s.

[strateguy632]

I was surprised by unanimous woke style answers here, how well the woke virus spread here... to everyone echoing woke attitude, so WAKE UP it "Convinced all westerners don't have kids" go extinct so non western can rule the world.

I am old fashioned meaning i believe "adults naturally want to have a kid" in fact, a lady gets a monthly reminder "you missed another chance" month after month, her nature worries urged her as her biological clock ticks...

But after getting rejected by guys and realizing they CAN'T "get the grapes " they say they CHOSE... to be single, say chose no kids.

THAT is the fable of fox and grapes. https://fablesofaesop.com/the-fox-and-the-grapes.html

[NicholasRedone]

I also have nothing against offspring - they provide for society growth and we always need more and more generations - even though kids can be really bratty and horrible - that for me I don't want offspring. And neither would my ideal woman : even if we were both able to have offspring, I wouldn't want to. Or even if one of us could/other couldn't, it's a mindset thing for me that - I don't want offspring, my girlfriend ideally if she exists lol wouldn't want offspring, and neither am I against those women who choose not to have kids :)

[SolitarySolace]

Choosing not to have children is a deeply personal decision, and I respect anyone—woman or man—who makes that choice thoughtfully. Fulfillment doesn’t come in one shape or through one path. Some find purpose in raising a family, others in careers, passions, creativity, faith, or community.

What matters most is whether someone is living with intention, not whether they check off a societal expectation.

The value of a life isn’t measured in diapers or DNA—it’s measured in love, integrity, and how we impact the world around us.

[Asker]

Very well said...

[Anastacia1989]

Kids are not for everyone - not everyone is capable to mentally and financially raise and support a child. The cost of living is high these days and secondly what about the woman’s health and age?

women and people in general who don’t want kids are actually being considerate and unselfish because the world is tough today and it’s a huge burden financially physically and mentally to hve a kid. people who know they aren’t capable of it and choose not to have any are the smart unselfish ones. It’s more selfish to hve a kid and not be able to raise and take care of it and less selfish to not have any.
I myself personally know I don’t want any kids in the future.

[AviatorTom]

Not everyone is cut out to be a parent. Those (men and women) who realize that and decide not to have children should be applauded. On the other side of the coin, those who have children when they are not ready or capable of properly raising them should be discouraged.

[Asker]

Granted, this was a conversation between myself and a super religious guy, but he literally said to me that women who didn't want kids were selfish, followed by a lot of stuff having to do with "god's plans for women." When I pointed out some women couldn't, and as you say, shouldn't have kids (mental illness, drug addicts, etc), there was no deterring him. I don't understand why anyone would want a person to have kids, male or female, that doesn't want them. You can't assume love will come once the kid is here. Plenty of kids in messed up relationships with narcissistic parents or ones that openly tell them they were a mistake, or at worst, neglect them emotionally and in all the other ways a parent shouldn't.

[IslaTheWitch]

personal choices are rolled personal, because they are choices of an individual... and every person has the right to decide, what they want to do with their life... including the huge responsibility related to having children

so everyone, women and men, should make this decision without external pushing or convincing...

[Anonymous]

It is a choice, you can’t change the person’s mind if they don’t want it for themselves. Sometimes it isn’t even a choice - Reproductive system has poor fertility, needed a sexual organ removed, vasectomy or tube tied went wrong, or some other issue like IVF not available / Miscarriage or loss of child preventing the family from moving on. All these things are on the table.

Some people have fatherly instincts, others don’t. Some people have motherly instincts, others don’t. Respect their decision whether as a couple or individual, then move on with your life.

“Life, Liberty, And The Pursuit of Happiness”. You as an individual have the ability to run your own life, as long as it follows the law, and you can choose happiness above all else for the reason for enjoying the particular aspect of your life. If kids are out of the equation, sorry they just are and you should live with that constant pain lmao.

[rachel776]

i wouldn't have children until age 30 anyway, and i might not at all, i haven't decided yet, and my fiancé is ok with whatever i want to do. he will be 45 at that time, so he might not want to by then, and having children over 40 is very dangerous for the father

[236color]

Both my wife and I have made that choice. There are 8 billion people in the world, and while birth rates are falling, we are in no danger of extinction because of lack of reproduction. I think the people expressing panic over falling birth rates are concerned that at a certain point, probably coming very soon, they will no longer be able to keep wages abnormally low.

[Hаwk_Tuаh]

These anon questions repeating again sound like admins set up bots to recycle old shit. Go search up 2009 GaG posts about it if you want instant opinions.

I wonder how many months until this site causes itself to fully shut down.

Who fuсking cares about your decision to spread your genes? If it bothered me that you're childless, id take matters into my own hands and impregnate you.

[Hаwk_Tuаh]

By requesting an opinion on this, you're implying just how homogenized you think human minds and lives are.

[HighValue]

I don't care as long as they don't blame men for not being interested in them, especially when they are in their mid 30s or older and expect men to want them and rush to get pregnant. They just need to learn to live with the consequences of their life choices.

[exitseven]

Kids are not for everyone. They are a huge commitment. They take up a lot of time and energy and cost boatloads of cash. It is not like having a pet gerbil.

If somebody is not sure about taking this on it is better that they do not have any kids.

[femalewolf]

If you're drawn to someone in your online relationship course, be cautious before acting on it. Virtual connections can sometimes feel more intense than they are. It’s easy to misinterpret tone or intentions online. Rather than rushing into a deeper connection, take a step back and focus on the course. If it’s meant to develop, it will naturally, but don’t force it or risk complicating your experience.

[Jersey2]

I feel that both are a genetic dead end and a disappointment to their parents and their ancestors. Thousands of generations are behind them to have given them life and they chose to stop and deny the next generation and all of their potential children, grandchildren etc. It seems selfish.

[Hаwk_Tuаh]

So it's just charity. Mammals don't breed mainly due to the endorphin high. And thousands of generations also had perfectly caring parents with no abuse and regrets.

[Jersey2]

@Hаwk_Tuаh Look, they are lazy and selfish. They aren’t doing their part for the species. People would die for their children, especially mothers so it isn’t charity, there is something there more dear than life itself. A case can be made that people who don’t want to bring in another generation should be culled from the pack for using resources without advancing the species unless there is a medical reason like they are dumb as fuck.

[Valdemort]

Gender is irrelevant. People either want kids or they don't. There's far too many people who have kids and aren't suitable to be parents.

[Anonymous]

It’s their choice. But I do think it does ago against a majority of women’s nature to be social. Meaning to have family around, friends, etc. I think most men are ok w just being alone, we don’t get too much into our feelings. Some do, but I don’t think they do to the extent of women. But like I said that’s their choice, not mine.

[Blunky]

There are enough gremlins in the world "raised" by people who don't care about being parents to their kids and want society to do it for them. People who don't want kids should actually be encouraged to not have any, male or female.

[Asker]

I would say there should be an understanding of other people's personal choice. Instead of why don't you want kids, what's wrong with you, you're going to regret this, and simple, it's your choice, and move on.

[Blunky]

You went from wanting to understand other people's choice to telling them it's their choice and move on. Which is it? Pretty sure my answer falls in the it's their choice and move on category.

[Blunky]

Seems I misread your response, but the point still stands. There's nothing to understand beyond some people not wanting kids because the reason could simply be that they don't want any and they shouldn't be forced or coerced into it, like this religious nutjob you're talking to. There's a myriad of reasons not to and debating it is just speculation or worse, control issues.

[David_beckham]

When people come into a relationship, they should have this talk, including the talk about finances and more major decisions. And if they agree to the option of not having a child, I don't think that anyone should have a thought on that; it's their life, and they have all the rights to decide.

[Falcon265]

Being a parent is a responsibility and if somebody thinks they don’t have what it takes to do well in that parental role then that shows maturity I hold no ill will toward somebody who chooses not to have kids and it’s sad to see that their are people out there that think otherwise

[DishLady]

Some women don’t have the inclination or the maternal nature. It’s best not to tackle something you’re not feeling capable of doing than to raise kids who end up having issues bc of poor parenting, abandonment, abuse, etc.

[molonski2]

Honesty , I don't think anything about it , as it's none of my business , I know in my case I didn't make a conscious choice to have kids , it just happened and we rolled on.
So who am I to judge? I don't think gender matters.

[WhitneySnow]

None of my business but cool for them. Doesn’t matter what gender you are, not having kids is your right.

[Lliam]

I think it's fine. It's their choice and nobody else's business.

I never wanted to dedicate my life to kids. My wife and I are glad we don't have any.

[Bricealan]

What is your opinion on women who choose not to have children? Do you feel the same about men who make that choice?

MY OPINION, IS THAT MEN AND WOMEN HAVE AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO DECIDE ABOUT BRINGING CHILDREN INTO THE WORLD

[Anonymous]

Now women earn as much or more than men. Why would they reproduce with broke guys. It’s our fault. Rich guys don’t have any problem making women want children. It’s not a third world problem, this only applies to the shrinking middle class. That’s human nature. Unless you are a provider, you can’t pass on your genes

[Jason9206]

I feel as a 32 yr old man I think they make the best decision and what's right for them at the time because like myself when I father and bring kids into this world I wanna be able to be a provider as a man the way my dad and grandfather showed me , if I am grown enough to make them then I am grown enough to take care of them

[OneViewpoint]

My opinion is anyone wanting or not wanting children is none of my business and I really don't care. It doesn't make me feel one way or another about the person.

[EmmaMary]

It's quite simply everyone's prerogative what they choose/wish to do... And it's certainly not for anyone to make judgement over.

[Crazyced]

I feel people judge women thinking they will regret not having children and fulfilling that 'need'. But they judge men as a refusal to 'grow up' and be responsible for a family.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

My opinion? In general, no problem. When it's personal, it makes me curious as to the reasons why, and happy, because it fits my plans :)

[MemeSupreme]

idc lol

i kinda am unsure about having kids so i get it

[Nikki1989]

It is nobodies business apart from their own.

[Anonymous]

At the end of the day it’s their choice to do what they want with their lives. But I think having children can be a very fulfilling experience like no other, for women and for men.

[Brandi555]

I feel that it’s every individuals decision. But I feel like if you’re in a relationship and you know you don’t want any then that’s something you should share early.

[Hellraiser1984]

I don't want any either because I don't want them to go through this world. I'm saving an innocent person from this hell of a planet. I'm totally fine women not wanting to either.

[RavVid]

I have made that choice. It is OK for a guy to.

[Ironic_Method]

The same as when people choose to wear green instead of purple.

[fartingspinster]

😂😂😂

[Yoursweetgirl]

That's completely fine and also their business. I don't really feel I'm entitled to somehow influence their choice or judge them

[Ladsin2]

They're making a bad decision for their long term happiness. Men aren't women. So no, I don't think the same thing, but I also believe they're making a bad decision.

[Shiprex]

Nothing wrong with them. There choice and it's quite liberating to be honest.

[ProbablyClueless]

Do you. I would prefer that someone who doesn't actually want kids didn't have them.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I don't want kids, so a woman who also doesn't want kids is required.

[Catguy92]

It's their choice and honestly why do people even want there to be parents out there who don't want their kids.

[Jay-_-]

I don't think there's anything wrong with not wanting kids, mostly in this generation, better we don't have them.

[Markella2]

Completely fine with it. I have aunt same way she loves her life she 45. I’m leaning that way to. And I worked at chucky cheese so that also make me not want them.

[Finchie40]

LMFAO working at Chucky Cheese traumatized you , I guess if someone is debating on whether they want kids’ or not, Go to Chucky Cheese LOL

[Markella2]

@Finchie40 I mean, imagine if it was permanent.

[Finchie40]

I had kids’ already and they are older now , but my kids’ were the best love I ever received in my life , but now that they are older , I couldn’t see myself starting over raising children whatsoever , so I only look for girls’ that do not want kids’ now lol

[Anonymous]

I have no opinion. If they don't want to have a child that's there business. I would just never marry a woman who wouldn't be willing to have a child, and that's my business.👍

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Nothing. Kids aren't for everybody. That is why not all parents deserve kids but all kids deserve parents.

[SmokinAces2000]

It has nothing to do with me. My aunt never had kids and she’s gotten to live her life on her own terms and do pretty much whatever she wanted.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

Translator

I dont judge them, its their choice

[Staximus]

It used to be considered strange but it's not so strange anymore, at least around here

[Staximus]

Personally I don't give a shit, it's their life

[LiamJHayden]

It is up to the individual and not my business at all.

[Maria9_]

Maybe I don’t want children and I was married my ex gave an std cheating on why would I stay married to him?

[Anonymous]

I have no problem with women who choose not to have children. I also have no interest in them.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Their choice.(I'm a childless lifelong bachelor).

[Kingofkings1992]

Gender doesn’t matter. Some people don’t want kids. Period. It’s not any other person’s business

[Anonymous]

I think you are smart, intelligent, and someone who loves life and herself.

[Manuelwe]

Men have less choice than women. But I know women who did and lost lots of money to his children

[Anonymous]

Thankful they are keeping the population down they only way they can legally

[BigYin]

It is the individuals right to choose. Simple as.
