The reason is that guys don't care because 1) they tend to be more focused on what you can do, 2) they're more chill about this sort of thing. Many women are "catty" and that's the way it is.
What is going on with those 2 cities? Guys are also laid back and cool.

Dude, you're way past the age when other people should be allowed to get away with intimidating you!

The more comfortable and confident you are in your own skin, the less chance people will think they can walk all over you like this.
Yea, I could have asked that question but that is rude and I am at work.

Outside of work, it is different.

I did not mean to offend anyone but that is what I want. They said that I will have a hard time finding that type of girl and one girl at work said that 'I don't have kids and I don't want to be with you'.<--This is kinda rude right? I also tend to act shy when I meet someone new also and I know that is a turn off to females from my experience. They also might think I am gay.

Most of these if not all do have kid(s) and single mothers that ask me these questions.

I am really a extremely positive guy overall and I am not ashamed to be single today. I do have prospects but I just don't want to settle for less.

I am also a very private person and I don't discuss my private life with just anyone specially co-workers. I respect everyone even if they put me down so I am very down to earth. There are also other single guys with no kids at work and I wonder what they go through and if I am the only one that gets the spotlight.

I have also been hated and called weird because I am always positive. They think I am on some drugs. Normally, I do not care about what others say but when it comes to having a girl or not, it gets me everytime, it must be my weakness.

Also, what if that girl is on this board and finds out who I am? Then I might get terminated.
OMG - I need to straighten you out brother.

I work with and have tons of male friends who have no kids and don't want any little turds draining their wallets, ruining their lives and marriage.
These guys range from 24-55.

Its 2012- you should be commended for not overpopulating the planet. The days of you find a woman, have a kid and white picket fence nonsense are OVER!
Thats why this country is collapsed, the suburban ideal and single mothers creating criminals.
Most men have children who treat them quite awful and leave them to die in old age homes.

Second - my GOd man - you are doing great.
Only a loser, spineless wimp who is a failure in life gets involved with a single mother with kids.
Avoid any woman with a kid!!!!
Start listenging to Tom Leykis on youtube (he will be back on the air soon)

You are doing great, have fun, bang as many broads as possible.

Ignore all the skanks, hags and female slobs on this site who say otherwise.
Women who insult you on this site are creeps to begin with angry at men for not giving them the time of day. Ignore them.
They are some good ones, but there seems to be many angry beasts here.

Look up man, you are a catch. Many women would kill for a guy your age with a great career and no BS baggage. I know so many guys who are digusted by their wife and kids and wish for the days of being single.

Find a fit, hot, athletic, childfree lady with a career, hobbies and life to date.
They are out there- you may need to move
Avoid the hags and hogs ,especially the slobs with kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
My advice to all men

You are missing the point.

If someone is going to be rude enough to ask you these kinds of questions at work, you have the right to turn it back on them and hold them accountable for their rudeness by asking the question I gave you

Based on your first post, you are the only one upholding these standards in your workplace.

The women asking all the judgmental questions obviously have no problem being "rude at work."

You can either play by the rules they are using or yours, which do not appear to be working for you.

I think they were offended when I told them that I don't want a girl with kids.

I might as well get an Vasectomy.

Women on this board are nice though.

I have been questioned a few times on eating healthy also. I don't see anything wrong with that either. I like to workout and stay fit.

Why cause more conflict and drama at work?

Are you so afraid of losing your job that you will allow others to walk all over you and treat you rudely??

I cannot imagine any boss would get rid of an employee who just politely informed others that they didn't wish to discuss their personal life

Don't you get it? The questions they are asking you are what is rude. Not wanting to answer is NOT rude.
