    6 points Dangerous_Arachnid99

    I'm older and not a man. Also never wanted children. I was too depressed and needed too much alone time to be a good mother. When I hit menopause, I felt like I'd finally dodged a bullet.

    This comment makes no sense

    Nobody who wants kids is getting with a woman who doesn’t want kids.

    It’s both people’s decisions you’ll never be happy if you let others make that choice for you, and ultimately a big reason relationships end outside of financial issues

    I would’ve loved to have kids, but now at 33, I don’t think it’s going to happen. My age as a female, is getting old. I also have a genetic eye disorder where I am losing my sight, so would have done IVF or something like that to ensure I wasn’t passing the gene on. I would like to adopt or foster if I can. If not, I will give all of my love to animals.
