Do 95% of men truly prefer to have kids?

Question

So like I'm a 31 year old woman who doesn't want kids... Do all men truly prefer to have kids?

DaveJord · Accepted Answer

Nope I would say its not true. Especially among older men. I can't say I ever wanted kids, but I have two. The first one was unplanned, and the second one my wife had to beg me for. I love my kids, but honestly if I never had any I can not say I would of missed it or wanted them not knowing what it was like.

Ultimately with divorce and my wife being the worst type of person she brainwashed my kids and they both have serious emotional issues and I have had no contact with them in threes years. But it last few years of my marriage my kids provided me with the only source of real love in me life and it was extremely hard on me when it came to divorce. EXTREMELY! So I can't say I regret having kids, but I regret having them with the wrong person... and due to the pain and anxiety it causes me I often wish I never did.

So at any point in my life if I met a women that never wanted kids it would not of been a issue to me. But having kids with the right person is one of the most amazing and faunistic things life can provide. But I definitely do not want more and never will, so I would never date a women who did want kids.

Absolutely not, it doesn't matter what age they are some people want kids some people don't. An individual choice and there aren't any comprehensive national surveys that I'm aware of that determine a percentage of men who do or do not want children.

Honestly, I think a lot of men only have kids because they didn't want to use a condom.

Where did you hear that or get that number? I don't think it's that high at all (?) Maybe for women, but not guys. I've always been on the fence, and it's never been something that's been even close to happening, and now I'm at the age I definitely don't want them, so I'm not one.

I don't have kids and I'm not sure if I want them; however, I would like the option. I won't marry someone if we don't have goals to build a family. There'd be no point in splitting everything I have with a lady if not for the security of the child.

Obviously there's going to be some men who don't want kids, but most men by your age, or the age you're trying to date, will either already have kids or want to have kids. Women have the mommy clock; men have the daddy clock.

most guys do, I dont, most of my circle (M+F) dont, I've friends who REALLY wanted kids but their wife/girlfriend didn't but they eventually had kids. i think your guess of 95% is pretty accurate

Berethor · Answer

Yea most men don't want a "childfree" woman, and woman that lack a material instinct is unfeminine.

JamesDiaz11 · Answer

I'd say a vast majority of them (95%). I want kids, and any girl who wouldn't I'd probably kick to the curb very early on.

Ironic_Method · Answer

Not sure where you're getting your stats from, but it's probably lower than that. I'm certainly not having any.

I'm single but I have no strong desire to have my own children.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes and no. I think most men eventually like the idea of having kids, but more and more are choosing not to because fathers today essentially have responsibilities without rights.

KrakenAttackin · Answer

A woman who genuinely does not want kids is very strange to me.
