My wife and I do not have any desire to produce offspring, but there is a chance that we cave and produce just one child at some point. I dont want to have a kid just to have one and there are too many people in the world already.

I want kids one day. Having a niece and nephews who are young have just enforced that desire. I've however accepted that'll never happen for me. Still all I can say is do whatever makes you happy. Life is to short to do otherwise.

The whole purpose of your existence is to have offspring and pass your genetics on. Ill never understand people who dont want to have children because it literally goes against what should be your natural instincts.

That reasoning right there is why there are so many people who are unfit parents that have problem children. Not everyone is meant to have offspring. Just because you can have children, doesnt mean you must.

The amount of people ive told this to when they ask who then turn around and ask me what im going to do with my life then if i dont have children is astounding, even had a few say i should have one and it'll change my mind, yeah thats a smart thing to do.

Disagreed. I believe the entire purpose to life is to experience a perspective or more that we're given, to grow from it, and to take that growth of experience with us into the great beyond. Offspring has long been a means to bring in more people, more souls, to experience this gods-awful thing we call reality; making the world any worse and shrugging that off on our offspring to deal with is worse than selfish, imo.

I knew from a pretty young age that I didn't want that responsibility. I love spending time with my nieces but I also love being able to send them home when I'm tired of being responsible for them. I'm too selfish with my time to give as mush as would be needed to a child of my own. I don't want ro stop my movie or game to help you with homework. I don't want to cancel my night out because you got sick or the babysitter canceled. I don't want to deal with you misbehaving.

I am a great Uncle. But would not make for a good father.

This describes how I feel perfectly. Being an uncle without the responsibility of a father is amazing. I would rather enjoy the majority of my free time without interruptions from a kid of my own. My wife and I talk about enjoying our current freedom all the time.

Im 32 and Ive never been able to have a real relationship... I think the ship has sailed on me having kids.

And even then, the world realty IS overpopulated (anyone who says otherwise has obviously never worked retail or had a shitty traffic-filled commute) and I really dont want to add to that.

Natural instincts also include living and growing up in a tightly bound community where all the neighbors are essentially the same culturally. Modern world (at least in the West) doesn't have that sense of community so people are less inclined to invest in the future and less inclined to think of their neighbors as an extended family who would help with the raising of kids.

I'm 37, and I'm pretty sure I will never have kids. My tolerance for children has only gotten worse over the years as well. Last time I was around kids was my cousin's children back during Thanksgiving, and even then I could only be around them for 15-20 minutes at a time before I had to find a quiet place to decompress.

So yea, pretty sure that isn't going to change before I get to be too old to actually raise kids.

This. What that other guy was saying was true up to even less than 100 years ago. But no longer.

I don't want any myself, though I once seriously considered it. As a man I suppose I could change my mind even when I'm older but I seriously doubt it. There's simply no good reason. And really there isn't any beyond selfishness nowadays for most people. They either want children just because all their friends already do (sheep) or even worse "just because they want them" ie on some dumb whim. I once had such a whim and thankfully ignored it.

Some people just don't want kids. It's not really that hard to understand... People should just be happy. If kids won't make them happy, then don't have them...

If you don't want them them don't have them. It is your business. I always thought I wouldn't have any. I just didn't see myself as the mommy type. Other people's kids annoyed me but after I had my own it is different. Yes, you have to readjust your life, especially in the early years, but I wouldn't change it.

I have friends and family who are childless by choice and I see no problem with their decision.

This, too. Kids are just awful. And if you dont take care of them according to how someone else tells you you should, you can end up in prison. I think the 90s was the last decade where having kids was even a relatively-good idea.

The population will decrease soon, anyway. Many Americans already have chosen not to have kids. And I believe in the UK, the average household is having only like 1 kid. Which isnt even enough to replace the parents.
