We have more possessions and less time to enjoy them.

250 grand per kid today plus women divorce raping men at unprecedented rates and taking rhe kids away for alimony 2 and 3.

Simply not affordable.

Funny how they only focus on happiness of married people.

They are only happy until they’re divorced.

Ask the divorced people how happy they are compared to single people.

“Incel” is a term invented by the left and feminists to shame any man that chooses to leave the plantation that is relationships and marriage.

It’s unfortunate you’re using their language in a similar context.

of life’s greatest joys are connected with obeying God’s order to be fruitful and multiply.

It's too risky to marry and have kids.

Video games and anime cost less and keep me entertained. I can also go back and forth between games and nobody is going to complain.

Look at another woman for too long and you’ll get yelled at.

preferring to keep their tax dollars and spend them on their own families.

I'd rather keep my tax dollars and spend it on myself.

I can believe it. In our neighborhood pretty much every household has a dog. There are a lot of forest preserves and hiking trails nearby and at least a half dozen dog parks, so there are scores of places where one can take one’s dog. And in the late afternoon and early evening, when people get home from work, there is a virtual army of people walking their dogs on the sidewalks. While we’ve pretty much always had a dog, I have never seen so many dogs in one neighborhood as we have here.

At least someone posted it, because I didn’t want to.

Where I live (San Francisco), I’ve long noticed that dog ownership among childless women over 25 is about 95%. I have nothing against dogs, but it’s pretty sad to see so many satisfying their maternal instinct with pets. On other hand, on a long-term basis, brain-dead liberals not breeding isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

lol funny

I’m unfit to be a parent. I hate children and avoid them if at all possible.

I was also cursed with horrible DNA, I cannot be allowed to have children.

Three miscarriages was as close as I ever got.

Wasn’t for the lack of trying.

Needed something to “mother” due to my nature so dogs it is.

When people paint with a broad brush, others can get smacked right in the heart.

This is not news. A remember a story like this from at least 20 or 30 years ago. Older people, either couples or singles, have pets. They are past the child-bearing age so of course they don’t have children. We now have more older people than ever. These pets are not replacing children. They’re just pets.

“She and her long-term boyfriend are dithering about having kids”

(Poking nose in where it doesn’t belong mode ON)

If he’s not eager to marry her, she should kick him to the curb, and let him take the animals with him. A man who doesn’t want to marry and have kids isn’t worth a bucket of warm piss.

Writing in The Atlantic recently, Mandy Len Catron bemoaned “What You Lose When You Gain a Spouse.” According to her, family life is isolating and unfair to outsiders, because spouses give most of their attention to each other and to their kids. When people get married, she writes, they retreat into “socially neglectful cocoons.”

This article is a hoot!

"Single women have more time to attend political rallies!"

I personally don’t think anyone who does not want kids should have them but and here is the BUT don’t have an abortion. Make your choices before the pregnancy. Don’t kill an innocent person because you don’t want kids. Give the baby up to someone who does.

The problem with MGTOW is that most these babies were made out of wedlock and these “men” are complaining about child support. Well if they had waited until marriage this would not be a problem. Yes I know divorce is high, you may thank no fault divorce for that.
