My older girlfriends (the ones in their late 30s) don't want children.
NONE of my guy friends want children, but they keep the options open.
I don't have to worry about "biological clock" in about 10 years or so, and i never found children to be appealing.
They say, "Women fall in love with their baby the moment they find out they are pregnant, Men fall in love with their baby the moment they hold him." I wonder if this is true.
I don't know if I will feel the same way (Don't want children) 10 years from now.
My parents got married on March 19, 1981 and told each other they never wante kids, several years later, I was born. So who knows what I will think in my 30s. =)
Walking around in my hometown, I see many kids hanging around and drinking 40 ounce rs being way too young to do so and getting involved in other things. All it takes is a bad choice, wrong crowd and wrong place and time for life to change or even end. It's very hard raising kids and protecting them from bad influences unless you isolate them and that's not an option for a human being to grow. Granted, I was out getting into plenty of mischief as well having lacked both parents completely but it's do as i say not do as i did in a case like this. If I had a daughter I would be on frayed nerves every time she went out with all the predators around. Everyday I read some new attack on a woman and I hate it. Lots of young men get shot on the other side of the coin.
Unless you are dating with the goal of getting married as soon as possible, it shouldn't matter what your dates want in this regard - for now. Why would marriage be a short-term priority anyway? Finding a man who doesn't want kids and does love animals and wants lots of pets may be difficult - not wanting the responsibility of kids may mean not wanting the responsibility of pets.
Anyway, most dating sites provide the ability to select and search on this issue.

Two of my good friends just got a divorce. Girl is 35 years old, and the guy is 34. They are both well off upper middle class professionals with great jobs. They both didn't want kids when they got married, and now the guy really wanted one, girl still didn't want one, they got a divorce.
Problem is that people's mind change when they age. I don't want any children now and I am in my 20s, who knows what I will feel 10 years from now on. I always tell people, "I don't know, haven't thought about it." It is better than telling them, I don't want children, just in case I change my mind later on. All the guys I've dated in the past told me they were indifferent, it is up to me. well, I never thought about this subject to be completely honest.
My parents never wanted children, but they had me anyway.
My cousin told his wife he didn't want kids before they got married. Now that he is 30 something, all of sudden, he wants children. People's mind change all the time, this is the scary part.
How dare people be open to the possibilities new people, situations and environments bring.
Scary and awful. How dare people change their minds.
