Search Results: marriage with children

So I had some random woman message me in a game out of the blue that she wanted to chat with me. So I agreed, the next part of the chat was normal finding out the basics including asking if I was single and had kids.

Then this is what transpired next, and this is the meat of my question.

♀️Her: Are you single?
♂️Me: I have never been married.
♀️Her: Do you have any kids?
♂️Me: No kids.
♀️Her: How old are you?
♂️Me: 53
♀️Her: Wow, but that's not good.
♀️Her: You're becoming an advance aged man and you should have a wife and children if you want your life to be complete.

♂️Me: I am sorry but I don't subscribe to societal norms and I completely disagree that I need to have a wife and children to be complete. I am content with my life and besides that I believe that marriage is just a piece of paper that society has deemed that you have relevance.

Was I wrong in replying this way? I would greatly appreciate your feedback.

Based on a conversation I had with my friend. Because different people have different cultural traditions as well as different personal beliefs. But they intersect in different ways.

For example, for me personally, I believe in saving sex for marriage, but I don't believe in traditional gender roles. I believe in equality between men and women.

I think a lot of people assume that people who want to get married are traditional. But that is not always the case. I'm not traditional at all.

NOTE: For the purposes of this poll, let's say that "traditional gender roles" means the man asking the woman, the man paying for dates, the wife staying at home and not working, the wife having children, the husband being a provider, etc. Basically all of the stereotypes you can think of. But if you see yourself as traditional, you don't necessarily have to believe in every single thing that's listed here. This is just a general guide. Feel free to clarify your views in the comments.

If you check all of the boxes for "traditional" but you don't believe in marriage and you prefer cohabitation instead, just vote for "traditional.". I'm not splitting hairs between the two.
