Why? Yes it is one of the most common reasons. The son becomes the father and the father becomes the son. The circle of life. Families are there for each other, families fight for each other.

But it's also about wanting to contribute something special to the world, giving back what was given to you, and wanting to to be part of something greater than yourself.

Special? lol!

There are 255 births per minute worldwide. Nothing "special" about it.

All human lives are special especially children. They are the hope for the future. And I definitely wouldn't want to be with someone who doesn't think children are special.

Get off this thread. You are doing nothing but derailing it with your delusional nonsense.

I must congratulate you though - I have never seen a troll with as many posts.

Uh I'm sorry but the majority of the human race thinks people should have kids and that kids are special.

What does that have to do with this thread?

Check the title. People are trying to figure out why someone would not want to be with somebody who is "child free by choice".

No, what you're saying is different from the question. Also, you are speaking for a much larger group than you can speak for (sweeping generalizations).

Stop assuming everyone who doesn't want kids somehow hates them. Get that delusion out of your head!

You want to have these positions which most would find offensive...but you don't want to have to defend them. You want to know why someone wouldn't want to be with a relatively young person who doesn't want kids, and I'm explaining it.

There is nothing fundamentally special about child birth. The fact that it happens so often kinda removes any sort of "specialness" it has.

Fact of the matter is that people who don't want kids will date other people who don't want kids. You are simply explaining why people who DO want kids don't want to date people who don't want kids. Your explanation is nonsensical and irrelevant.
