For number of reasons I am probably the happiest now I've ever been and I am 50. But my 40s and 30s were pretty good too. Being young is awesome but I got married at 20 and raised a kid and worked and went to college and like was too busy to fully enjoy it. So it's no matter the age. One can be happy at any age

@OP: That's my opinion: life is so hard and filled with much suffering to bring children to it. At least in my case, I'm not happy (never was) to bring happiness to others. Probably, I will pass my misery to them. Even logically, I don't understand why people have children? They consume times and money, and eventually all they cause is trouble and leave their parents. Unconscious urge, no more. Life!! No need to kill oneself because of that though. Enjoy life as much as you can.

Sometimes we feel like we are hopeless when there is no end in sight. I am 35 years old about to be 36 in three weeks, and just went I thought my life was rock bottom, my mom told me "don't worry we have each other" It made me cry because I realized that until she dies I will never be truly alone.

I have accepted the fact that I will never get married and have kids. And you know what? I'm okay. I have a best friend that's a guy and we have each other. He's not looking I am not looking and we don't want kids.

Its okay, it really is. Everyone's situation is different. Maybe as you get older things will change. Just enjoy these moments as you have them.

Because people want to create a new version of themselves in hopes of their child's life being better than their own.

That's the problem. People want their children to be as THEY (the parents) want. This is half the suffering. Life is short, if I can I will enjoy it as mush as possible and die. Who cares about the continuation of our species! I certainly don't.

I think it's complicated and that many people *do* want kids. It's what expected of us. Some people don't want kids though and I think that's OK too. I'd only suggested to stick to what you believe in for yourself and be as patient as you can. There will be someone out there for you.

There actually are women who never want kids. I've known a few. One was me. Til I got pregnant twice. I love my kids more than anything in this world and if I could go back in time I would do it all the same.

They want to impart their wisdom on their children, like all the mistakes the parents made, they want to warn their kids not to fall into the same trap, but to be better. They hope. They want to love and nurture.

Sorry, didn't mean to get off topic.

I think there's a lot more to life than kids/no kids or girlfriend/single. At 26, take advantage of all the rest of life. 26 is not ancient: did you learn anything between 16 and 26? That's how much you learn and change 26-36.

1. I am 27, female, single, childless and do not want children. Yes, we're out there, don't give up!

2. Please do not slut-shame. I am disturbed by how you want a "virgin". Female purity is ********, women have the right to enjoy sex.

3. Get off of match.com and live you life and someone will come to you. I promise.

4. Chill out. Seriously.
Thanks for this!
