1) As a somewhat stigmatized minority group, there aren't ways to meet such people.



2) Many single women who come to believe kids won't fit into their lives then lose interest in marriage or dating altogether.



3) Child-free people tend to have rather liberal views and therefore often don't believe in marriage and sometimes not in monogamy or commitment.



If anyone cares, in many years, I've only come across a handful of people online who believe strongly in both getting married and not having kids. I suppose that if such people meet each other, they're more likely to be compatible than two random singles who want to be married with kids.

I would consider myself a pretty big liberal (though I am not into politics) and while I do believe in commitment (i look forward to experiencing a long term relationship at some point in my life) commitment for me would be having a relationship with a girl, but that relationship will not contain kids, marriage or co-habitation ever, which is a problem for most. 11-14-2017, 08:23 PM CBeisbol 3,574 posts, read 1,429,321 times Reputation: 3732 Quote: LavenderLipstickBlues Originally Posted by Will people who do not want children struggle to find a long-term partner?



If most people want to have children, then a person who does not will have fewer options.

If most people do not want to have children, then a person who does not will have more options.

If an equal number of people want to have children as don't want to have children, it won't matter.

I was asking this based of out curiosity. Those answers are very simplified. What do you know!I was asking this based of out curiosity.

A couple may want children but end up not having any. One or both partners have a problem.



A couple may not want children but get them anyway. There are plenty of "pill babies" running around out there.



One or both partners change their mind on the original stance taken.



I would suggest getting over the hurdle of having a strong relationship, and the rest of life will take care of itself.

You could have a girlfriend and not know if she doesn't want kids. Do you ask the other person this before you become exclusive?



If I had a girlfriend and she did not want kids that would be a tough decision I think even for me who is in the opinion of why not? That is like a limitation.

We’ve been together ever since, and married years later, in 1994, the subject of children was never raised.

Some may consider me selfish, but I just told her the truth as I saw it, I loved her, but was prepared to lose her, we’re happy together now, and always have been. that is selfish. I don't think that was selfish, you told her the truth. To "play along" in a relationship, nowis selfish. 11-20-2017, 07:06 PM Diamond03 33 posts, read 17,913 times Reputation: 35 Yes Please register to post and access all features of our very popular forum.
