I'm not the group the OP really wants answers from, but since the other women have chimed in....

 

I'm a never-married female, no kids, in my late 30's and have no interest in having children. Never did. Had surgery to correct some issues with a rebellious uterus, and I can't have children anymore.

 

Don't really have a high status career, have gone through perfectionism rehab, and I do want to get married and try to cram in a lot of happy wedding anniversaries before the "death do us part" part. I thought I'd at least be engaged before I turned 30, but apparently during my 20's, the men were off bonding -- emotionally or otherwise -- with other women.

 

Anyway, we do exist. (And are considered flawed freaks by some because of it.) I'm still hoping I won't have to settle for a Male Realdoll.

 

Come to L.A. and I'll schedule your interview.

Why would you want to try to talk a woman out of something that is important to her?

 

 

Happened with a friend of mine, he got engaged to a 30 year old woman that had never been married, and had no children.

 

He was already divorced with middle-school aged kids from a previous marraige, his new fiance' wanted kids though.

 

They called of the engagement, then like a couple of weeks later he was back to being engaged again (saw this all through his FB status, lol)

 

I asked him, "Hey, what happened? I thought you guys called off the wedding."

 

And he said, "Well, she changed her mind and decided it was okay for her not to have children."

 

I don't he necessarily talked nor pressured her into it, but it was him calling off the engagement that, I suppose, motivated her to do without having kids of her own.

 

I was kind of suprised, being a 30 year old woman ,she could find tons of guys HER age (her fiance' is about 15 years older), that would have no problem having a family with her.

I'll never forget the pitiful expression on my late mother's face when I told her I didn't want to have kids. She looked like a scolded puppy.
