My own opinion is that there are enough people in the world and I applaud individuals and even couples who choose not to procreate. Of course this assumes that those who are "sleeping around' don't accidentally procreate.
You procreate for yourself. You never know what you may bring into the world. Sometimes a flash of lighting happens down there. And you may get the next best scientist to have ever been born. Or something. And really the ones who choose not to "procreate" for some lame reason like overpopulation. Should be taken out back and shot to death. What a lame and dumb excuse.

Those guys I can't stand because they bypass me now that they claim they want to marry and it leaves me single.
Use your head. And it won't happen to you. There are a lot of scummy people in both sexes. Don't stick with the one that is scum and you won't have any heartache.

I avoid scummy people but there are more of them than non scummy.

That is just not true, you attract what you are. For lack of better words.

I attract all kinds but as you get older most of the good people are taken.

Maybe that is the case. But now with old age you should just experiment and give up on ever finding a good single man. He won't exist unless you want him with children.

I would say that if I thought it was matched up equally -- but I don't.

Then I will not marry since I will never date men with children.

people say "you can't sleep around forever". why not? if that's what they enjoy doing they shouldn't be knocked for it. some people just aren't into all that family stuff and don't want to follow the script. it's just not for them.

Plenty of men would be perfectly happy to sleep around forever. However, far fewer women are interested in this way of life. As a result, as we men age, our options tend to shrink. For many of us in our 40s and older, the choice isn't between sleeping around and settling down. The choice is between settling down and being alone.

I guess you haven't met that one yet to actually make you feel that way. Maybe why you enjoy loving them and leaving them.
