Women are pressured to get married and have kids however many of them just lose themselves when they do. I have witnessed this with my older sister to a certain extent. they become boring and lost that zest for life. The only women who still maintain their own individuality and interests outside of their marriage are wealthy women.

Well, that's a pretty broad generalization
SOME women may feel pressured to marry and have kids, but I believe most woman who get married and have kids really really want to take that path.

I don't think women lose themselves...they do change though. How does one define zest for life though. Is not being a parent engaged in raising a child in some way a very deep form of showing "zest" for life?
I think when you have very small children and a limited support system, the hours you spend meeting their needs can and do displace time you might have spent doing something else.

If you are implying that when a woman has a child, she falls hopelessly and completely in love with that child, and is forever changed and constantly enriched while raising that child, then yep...true dat.
However, if you are intending to imply that women are incapable of having a child and also having a happy and fulfilling life, then you are dead wrong. Becoming a parent DOES change your priorities...it's supposed to. But just because one has a new primary focus does not mean that all the other interests life are discarded.

I guess. For some reason, I just don't find the next stage of life, that I am expected to enter exciting. I love babies/toddlers but don't like children at all. Even well behaved children are annoying to me. And marriage and children represent old age to me. And I feel that most women, even men to a certain extent, lose themselves and become boring

Then don't have children. End of thread.
