Everyones pretty much expected to have them past a certain age and the people I know that dont have them usually end up hanging out by themselves since nobody has time to hang with friends past a certain age

There's a small percentage of men who choose not to have kids for various reasons like: not want kids because of lifestyle, can't afford kids, don't want kids growing up in this crappy world, etc.... For majority, I think it's just a large population of left over men that can't find lasting relationships to even get to that stage to even have that choice.

If you love sleep and not telling another smaller human to not lick the dog, then kids aren't for you. Mine drive me crazy, but there's nothing in this world I wouldn't do for either of them.

Don't have the money.
I know that the answer to that is always "lol you'll never have enough money for them!!!', but I can barely make it as is. Why would I wanna bring a kid into that?

I think after I get my bachelor's I'll start thinking about it.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


This is actually the truth because a lot of guys I was friends with before who never had kids end up by themselves a lot of the time

It doesnt help either that none of their old friends (like me) have much time to hang with them due to our family commitments

This planet already has over 8,000,000,000 humans.

I consider this world to be overpopulated and accordingly I do not support having children despite biological urges. I would love if our numbers were in the millions (not billions). Further our species is absolutely disrespecting the planet as we harvest resources.

Did you know the average human creates 2,072 lbs of waste each year?

I cannot, in good conscience, add to this madness.

I missed the window.

I think if my life has played out differently, I could see having kids, but at this point, the damage is done and I truly dont see it happening.

Im in my mid-30s, have about the dating experience of a middle schooler (and all of those experiences being absolutely miserable), dont make nearly enough money to give kids a good life. Not only that but because of the work Ive been doing, my patience is pretty much zero.

Will I regret it like 30+ years? Probably. But its not like I havent tried. Relationships just arent for me. I cant imagine Ill find a girl who would have the patience for me so it is what it is.

girlfriend and I have no interest in having kids. I've been married once, don't want to do it again. She knows, and is ok with that. There might be issues with medical stuff down the line, but oh well, I'm not going through it.

The world is in decline and not interested in being responsible for bringing another person into it.

Id be willing to foster or adopt a kid but single men are bottom tier as far as that goes so it wouldnt be a priority for me unless I had a reliable partner, but since a family isnt much of a priority to me, I dont devote much effort to finding a partner.

Because I don't care about expectations and would be much happier as a childfree woman with my partner and pets. I have absolutely zero interest in kids and don't want to devote any of my life to them. In fact, studies show that childless single women are the happiest demographic! So to hell with what's expected of me, I'll do what makes me happy. DINK lifestyle is the best lifestyle

I always did want to have kids, but I basically never had myself together until last year. I'm very poor and having kids in this day and age is obscenely expensive. I could still have kids - being a trans lesbian and all - but I don't really want to anymore. Fell for a wonderful but chronically ill lady with a daughter, so I'll probably just mom her.

Because of Chemotherapy there's no guarantee that I can have kids. I'm not in a relationship atm anyways, so its no big deal; and I have 5 nephews and a 2nd cousin (a little girl) who looks up to me like an uncle, so I'm fine if I don't have them. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have at least 1 by the time I'm 42, but circumstances seem to be working against me.

Because I myself wish I had never been born. Why the fuck would I bring another life into this world. I mean, yeah, I'd be a way better parent than my parents who did everything wrong. But I still don't have the resources or the mental state to provide for a child. And I'm not in a relationship. And I don't really want to be.

Also doesnt help that Ive only had two relationships I would have actually wanted a family with.

Getting a girl to like you is a bit harder than what it sounds like on paper. In the mean time, having kids is expensive. It's like an extra $20,000 in spending a year for every kid.

With the wage gap climbing higher each year and the housing market out of control, I think it's just going to be more and more common for people ONLY wanting to find someone to live together with without having any kids. We are not in the same era as people were in the 1950s where they could afford College, a Car, a House in the suburbs, a Dog and two kids with a job that payed like $3,000 a year. That's like a dollar fifty an hour in wages, with a spouse who does nothing but be a "house wife" to boot.

Gas was 18 cents, a Car was $1,000 and a house was like $8,000. Wages have not come ANYWHERE close to adjusting.

Jobs that pay $28/hr aren't common, have requirements as hurdles, and aren't a reality for nearly HALF of Americans.
