[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kamala Harris, first marriage age 49, enough said.

The more of a catch you are, the harder it is to find your match. I am in my 40s and have never wanted to have kids and it would take someone very special to make me want to get married. For context, I have everything going for me and  I am happy having my own complete independent life. Sad so many people think it is a reflection of who you are if you are not married by a certain age. Also, living in DC since my early 20s has probably made me uninterested in marriage when I get hit on so frequently by married men in this town when going about my day minding my own business. Probably by the “dear husbands” of many so smugly posting on this thread, hah![/quote]

She has issues. Many older, single women can be great at their jobs but have issues. There are lots of single, never-married women in their 30's-40's who are extremely high achievers professionally, but they're not good partners for marriage and children.[b] Not wanting children is typically indicative of an unhappy childhood[/b].[/quote]

What in the actual F.

I had a lovely, lovely childhood and am still very, very close to my family. I have no interest in having children, mostly because domesticity isn't my thing. I would much rather be free to pursue hobbies, travel, and do what I please than clean up kid puke, cook for a family, do laundry, etc. My family even jokes about how I've said I don't want kids from the time I was actually still a kid. It's just not me, never has been, never will be. Staying home with a family every night sounds like the ultimate boredom to me, but I also respect and appreciate that it is incredibly fulfilling for others. We're all different and need and want different things in life. It's what makes the world interesting, but certainly isn't a a marker of an unhappy childhood. [/quote]
