Do you deny the existence of men and women who choose not to have children?



Please go out and meet people, men, women, in real life.

People go through phases. Little children think they are dinosaurs and have pretend tea parties.

I’ve known several women that said they didn’t ever want kids, while dating loser college boyfriends.

However, when the same women met and married successful, richer, older men, the women popped out babies left and right.

People say things all the time to rationalize their circumstances.

Men and women will make babies. It’s biological drive. It doesn’t matter what people believe or think. It’s how species continue and survive.

That's horrible advice, we're in a pandemic. But when it's over I would highly suggest taking your own advice. If you are really discussing in good faith and genuinely have never met or heard of a person who has chosen to go through life without having kids, to the point of legitimately not believing that such people even exist, it sounds like your world has been very small. I wish you the best of luck with expanding it.


Deflecting reality is not going to make it less real.

You exist because your parents make babies. All these so called people that claim they don’t want kids exist, because their parents make babies. Men and women make babies, because it is core biological drive in reality. No amount of rationalization will change reality.

Reality will bite people on their butt, one way or another. Biological drive will overcome any belief or thoughts, when circumstances become better for people.


We have everything from published papers to anecdotal accounts/lived experiences about people who chose not to have children. Completely denying that such people exist seems borderline delusional. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0192513X2094990...

It really does not sound like you are even trying to make any kind of legitimate argument and are just trolling at this point, I'm convinced this is a case of willful ignorance. So I'll leave this comment thread here; have a nice day.
