Poll: No children: a turn-off?

[Anaklusmos]

I could go either way, I could see myself as a father and a good dad, but it's not like I have a burning passion to be a dad, and I could also see myself as just spending the rest of my life with the woman that I love having it pretty easy and doing whatever the hell we want.

I don't understand the people who say they hate kids. I really don't get it. But yeah, I have 3. But an ex of mine said she didn't and we ended up breaking up. That was one of the reasons. The main reason is that she is becoming a he so....creepy.

I don't really want kids because I feel like I wouldn't be the best father, but if a Girl I dated wanted to have them, it wouldn't affect me either way. Although I've never dated IRL cause I am not attracted to anyone I know here... So, make of that what you will...

There's commitment involved, but you don't consider them to be "the one"

Why in the world would I waste my time in a "commited" relationship if I didn't think they were "the one"? Why waste your time on someone you KNOW isn't?

To quote myself:

This answer keeps popping up.
Does no one really initiate a relationship without honestly believing the partner is "the one"?
I mean, most people have had more than one relationship in their life: thinking a partner is "the one" without having been together for a good while sounds rather naïve.

What I was getting at wasn't really that you were supposed to feel the person wasn't really for you in the scenario.
The idea was basically that you like the person, but if you're going to look at it logically, the chances of you ending up married are minsicule.
Sort of a high-school romance scenario if you will.

I'm probably the wrong person to ask, I married my high school girlfriend and we have 6 children. But I think I see what you mean now. I would imagine for me it would be a huge problem I couldn't imagine not having children. (Even before having them).

I'd be fine with it, because I don't want children either.

Pretty much that. I'm not parent material.
