I really think this sort of market can vary regionally. When I was in high school many of the boys in my circle didn't want children.

Being a guy that does not want kids your pretty much dead in the water. The best you can hope for is to die in your sleep.

Not so. Half the women I know don't want kids.

Wow, people sure give up easily.

I did find a gf that does not want any more kids but 90% of women on match, POF or any other dating site wanted kids. When I did a filter for no kids (as I imagine a lot of other guys were doing) there were not many women.

If you're looking to get married or otherwise settle down, and you don't want kids, you have to eventually find someone who feels the same way (no one gets married thinking they'll eventually divorce!). However, if you just want to have girlfriends/boyfriends, there's no reason to bring it up with someone at all. In fact, to do so is a stupid idea since, as others have noted, it will severely cripple your dating life. If they ever want a family, they'll just have to get it from someone else. On a dating site, if you don't want children, I'd recommend putting "Undecided." That way, your chances aren't virtually ruined, and you can still be on the lookout for people who themselves state that they don't want kids.

Even though I'm not really looking, I casually peruse some of these sites to see how many women have refused to buy into the whole "biological clock" social engineering BS (it IS social engineering, designed to keep lots of taxpayers and tithers on the IRS rolls and church pews) and the number who have not is depressingly small.

You do NOT have to have kids and in fact, if you want to be "green" in any way, having kids simply isn't an option. You can't have kids and be green. Sorry to break the news this way, but that's how it is.

However, now that I'm in my late 20s, I'm finding that as soon as I tell a girl that I don't want to have kids, she loses interest in me. Is there anyone else who also plans on not having children who has this problem. Anyone know of an online social network/dating site for people like us?
I am 28 years old, and to be completely honest, I don't know if having children is part of my future plan. However, that does not mean I won't change my mind in the future.

Are you sure you are not going to change your mind? Late 20s is still very very young. Maybe you shouldn't rule out the possibility of having children in the future 100%. My brother never thought he would want any children, but when my nephew came, he became the world's best father.

Maybe you should just tell the girls that you are undecided which in all honesty, is perhaps the closest to reality.

There are women like me who are in the 25-29 range and don't want kids period-ever.
