DINC’s can enjoy more active life.
Dinc = double income no children.

"But the thought of dragging some innocent by standard into that? Not so sure."

Innocent by standard?

A professional writer wrote that.

Up here, with the people my son’s age (34) it’s a major issue.

Careers (especially females) are more important. For a young man to find a reasonably normal spouse is very difficult. For a young woman, to find a man who wants to take on the responsibility and provide and protect, almost impossible. Lots of mentally unstable young people, lots of out-of-wedlock kids, lots of chasing after material things first.

Add to that, if you do find someone, good luck buying a home. It’s even more difficult to rent something decent. If you’re forced to rent, you’ll never save enough for a home. Right now you need a down payment of the same amount that a home used to cost. Men up here feel completely demoralized, and for good reason.

Why are people having less kids? Hmm let’s see what the single young white male has to deal with these days:

>can’t afford rent/house
>groceries gone up 3x
>degrees are worthless
>no jobs available
>women have impossible standards and won’t even date 98% of men
>Constantly surrounded by illegal 3rd world trash bringing down income and taking up residential space, driving up housing prices

USA Today gathered a group of "experts" in this field who surveyed childless American women and couples to try to figure out why so few people are choosing to bear children today.

"Experts" aren't interested in the opinions of unmarried men.

You nailed it for us. I knew since I was really young that I never wanted children, and it took me until I was 35 to meet a lady that felt the same. We are very fortunate, and have an amazing life together.

Because that’s what the culture sells. My mother was nearly in tears every time I told her I was pregnant, wasting my brain and my education.

My daughter astonished me on Career Day when she said she wanted to be a mother and be at home with her children. I’d bet she was the only girl in the school who said that.

The answer is simple: we have been promoting getting a selfish career, for both men and women, over getting married and starting a family. We are have less children because we have been training our children to view individual self-fulfillment as more important. In particular, we have been training girls to hate their feminine nature and seek independence outside of the home. Then we act surprised when our children grow up and act that way that we trained them.

Move to a 55 plus community and you’ll have plenty of people to get together with even on holidays.

My youngest kid went to Xavier - none of her classmates have kids - half still aren’t married - they have good jobs and are in their Mid-30’s - their priority in life is a new car and expensive vacations.
