what do guys think of women that don't ever want children

There is no insinuation. The lady was saying she didn't understand my reason for not wanting children and I clearly stated my reason.

P.S. I think I'd be the last person to try and be horrible to others on here.

Same difference. We have a shrinking workforce supporting a growing retired population, unless you propose euthanising old people (or just removing their pensions and letting them starve), what other solutions to this problem are there?

Of course it isn't the 'same difference'. There isn't a problem of population shrinkage. If the workforce is shrinking that can only be a good thing, since there aren't enough jobs for our workforce as it is. Since when do we need to INCREASE the workforce? Especially with the influx of immigrants (don't you read the DM?).

What's wrong with a negative birth rate?

Don't you think the world is over populated?

Please don't conflate inter-generational issues with short-term economic issues. People having babies in 2010 are producing workers for 2030, if you can predict the economic situation at that point then you are needed in the City with great urgency. However, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to track the correlations on birth rates and longivity and the current pensions problems (that predated the current economic crisis considerably) and see that things will get worse if birth rates continue to fall.

I presume the encouragement to read the Dail Fail was a joke...

I suspect that the age range of TSR (late teens to early 20's as a modal value) explains why many people don't want kids on here. Students, especially female students, quite rightly see having children at their stage in life as a massive barrier to achieving what they want and so many don't want kids at all. Things change for many of these women in their mid-30's when the biological clock starts counting down with increasing urgency.

It would be a huge plus for me, because I don't want children, and I'm sterile.

The insinuation being that people who have children do so to prop-up imperfect relationships and those that don't have perfect relationships. This is no less judgemental than the views you are railing against and no-less wrong either.

Being completely fulfilled by each other and your careers. Trust me, you wouldn't need anything else. As I don't.

Out of curiosity do you not want to get married either then on the basis that you don't need anything other than just to be with him, so you don't want to get married?

Nothing like a patronising male comment on distinctly female issues. We'll probably all want to be housewives in the end too, right?

I really don't understand women who never want to have children...

they tend to be the ones that find their love for children when they're 60 years old :/

Well, we have been together for 5 years now, we live together, I would ask myself why would we need a ceremony to validate what we already know we have i.e. love? We are Buddhists so in a way we know that we don't 'own' each other. We are already connected on deeper levels than a ceremony can. I'm not even sure something like a ceremony can connect you more, I mean what is marriage actually for?

a STUPID side to it.
