[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here

I am definitely misunderstood on here. I’m not Peter Pan or whatever that means. I have a career and interests, but I understand that people will immediately attack you if you don’t want kids as some sort of lost individual. I remember when I told my mom that I don’t want kids and she questioned why I got married. Fair point. But not all of us kid free people want to screw around all day and do nothing with our lives.

I study more languages, I help refugees settle in the states, i attend lectures and philosophical discussions. And it’s not like I don’t spend frivolously. I love to travel all over, and I would love a companion that enjoys that as well. Traveling by yourself isn’t that easy sometimes.

I understand that finding a person that doesn’t want kids or doesn’t already have them in my age group is a tough sell, but I certainly have felt that there is an expectation of more money when you’re 35 and single.

Also, I don’t own because I moved to DC 3 years ago and I am not sure whether I’ll be staying and because it’s so damn expensive. With condo fees, interest, and taxes, you need it to be a longer term plan to stay. [/quote]

NP here: I can't speak for anyone else but when I was dating I would have thought you sounded great! I am also a writer and don't want kids. My now-husband is the same. When we started dating in our mid-30s, I was earning in the 60s and he was in the 80s - once we combined our salaries we had a great life. We didn't really need to be earning more since we didn't have to worry about saving for college tuition or daycare or anything like that.

Dating is hard. Finding a partner is hard. I would not think that a $90k salary would exclude that many people, except someone who wants to be a stay at home mom, which you wouldn't be interested in anyway since you don't want kids.[/quote]
