My question is, are there any guys left out there that still want kids? (and get married?)
Absolutely not I don't believe in marriage and having kids.

Obviously there is or there would not be as many marriages and births as there are. The question here appears to answer itself, or am I missing the full force of the intention behind it?

What kind of question is this?

The overwhelming majority of all men and women want to have children at some point in their lives.

Childfree people (people who don't have any kids, don't want to have kids at any point in their lives and are perfectly happy without children) are a minority. Always have and always will be. I have the opposite problem. I can't find any eligible single childfree men near me. I don't want to waste my time with a man who isn't 100% childfree. I don't trust men who want kids (in dating, not in general). I'd be too paranoid that he would poke holes in condoms to try to make me pregnant against my will.

The biological urge to reproduce is too strong for most people to ignore.

Another take on this question is whether there are any men who would like lots of kids, a big family. I have one child but am now a single mum, and would love three more, four more would in fact be perfect, making it five, my dream number. When I say I want that many kids the blood visibly drains from people's faces. It's not something I would do without being able to afford it obviously, but nonetheless, I've never met any man who wanted more than two kids so I think I am alone in my desires.

I am a single full time dad, and I adore my kids. I don't think I would like to start all over, but have chosen not to get snipped just in case the right person comes along, and it is something she may want. Being a parent is sublime, and I can't rule out that I, myself, might at some point feel that empty nest syndrome. I guess time will tell.

A man would have to be insane to have children in this day and age.

Religious men and men from African/Asian/Hispanic/Eastern European backgrounds.

I find it amusing that the same day, or the next day after this thread was created, another woman created a thread with the opposite problem: all the men she was dating wanted to start a family lol.
We have a very heterogeneous demographic and culture here in America which didn't really confuse anyone until the interwebz hit unless they were a transplant into another region.
