My question is this.

Guys, if you met a woman and she was absolutely fabulous, but you found out that she was adamant about not having children, would you still be interested in her?

If so, would it be for a relationship or just for some slam-bam-thank you-ma'am?

Ive always found that men are surprised when told that a woman doesnt want kids. So Im wondering if its a dealbreaker for alot of guys interested in a long-term relationship or marriage.

I'd consider her to be *more* desirable. But I'm in the minority on that.

It doesn't sound like you're in the minority these days.

If you want children so you can propagate your family name for the good of the world, you're over-estimating your worth. If you want to "Go forth and multiply", well... too late. Children will neither make or break a relationship. Take the woman as an entire package deal. Like it all, or look elsewhere.

That would definitely have been a dealbreaker for me..........

No I'm not. That's exactly why I did it. The world needs my DNA.

I know I'm not a guy but I'll answer anyway.

I don't want kids and I don't want to date or settle down with anyone who has kids or wants kids.

I am sure some men would be relieved to find a woman who doesn't want kids. They are out there.

I think people who know they do not want kids and honor that fact are wise people...I have the utmost respect for people that can reject societies expectations and listen to their own drummer...

If the man did not want children then it may be a match made in heaven...

I always worry about the couples that one partner wants a child and the other does not...recipe for disaster, if you ask me.
