I mean, I'm a guy who enjoys my permanant childfree life. Is it all that hard to find childfree women these days? I know I'm a little young (19) to make this decision, but this is a permanant decision.

I'm sure there are some around. At your age though, you probably have to look a bit.

I guess I'll just have to wait for a few years.

Unfortunately there is alot of misunderstanding about people who want to remain childfree but there are support groups and so forth if you look where you live.

From what I understand people who have children can be very insensetive to the lifestyle and be pretty rude.

I think its a good thing to know your own mind and NOT bring children into this world only because society tells you to.

They are out ther. My husband and I have been married almost 9 years and no children. When people ask when I'm having kids I tell them one of two things depending on how they asked the question.

1: Never, having too much fun spending our money on us and enjoying being able to pick up and go with no hassles or worries.

2: start to tear up and say I can't have kids due to a medical complication, thank you so much for reminding me and being so insensitive.

Almost always #1 is the response. I gave #2 to a jerk that wouldn't get off my back about how I wasn't doing my "job" if I didn't have kids. Needless to say they felt awful and apologized.

Not at ALL!

You know where you want to be, and there's no reason why you can't find a partner NOW who shares your mindset. It might just take a little doing. As Lindsey alluded to, there's this "cult"ure of kids in this country, and it takes a little while for some people to figure out that they simply are not part of it.

As the years go on, you'll find more and more. But, there's no reason, at all, why you shouldn't start looking now. There ARE women out there your age who have made this decision. No reason not to look for them.

I believe that.

But, hon, seriously, at the end of the day, only YOU have to answer to you. If this is what you want for your life, screw everyone else who thinks they know better.

You'll find your gal. I have no doubt. It will probably take a lot of trial and error, but she's out there.
