How common is it for people to never find an other half or have kids?

You'd swear having babies and kids involves them being like that forever. They'll always be your child but *shock horror* They do become adults at some point. Brilliantly, there's a point where the nappy changing stops, the brain deadening tiredness ends and it really is over in the blink of an eye.

I've always thought that people get what they focus on. If these women wanted children, were focused on it, then they'd have made it happen. Bom-chicka-waw-wa style or artificially. As men we can't appreciate the biological ticking clock women have, we can have kids until we croak but for them there's a point where nature says "that's your lot". I guess some women get understandably blindsided and realise it's becoming too late to have children and any suitors they'd readily have had kids with had they been focused on it have been and gone.

Don’t get the baby hate that’s the easy bit when you look back

I became a father at 22 and the moment I watched my daughter come into this world I knew that this is the reason we are put on this earth

money flash cars best of clothes all along the way but nothing will ever compare to that night

It might be the reason you were put on this earth . But its not set in stone that we all are here to play the same role

Yes to me and billons of others

But not everyone feels that way. Not through selfishness or apathy, they just don't.

You've made my point really. Billions of others isn't everyone I'm afraid.

Watch your own child being born and you would feel differently

Very hard to put into words but it was like everything aligned at that moment something programmed deep inside handed down for millions of years

Nothing comes close and never will

I carried and delivered my children and as much as I love being their mother its far from my purpose or anyone else's. It's great you feel that way but don't patronise those who don't share your opinion.

Really considering getting a cat but given I'm in Spain now till middle of August I'm not sure it's feasible unless I give up the summers in the sun

I mean when he says it's the best feeling ever.

But yeah it's not everyone's purpose.

Plenty of things are the best feeling ever. It depends on what your triggers zre.

Ive no children, no interest.

During weekends, I am a support mail volunteer.

When you get feedback from somebody you've helped, thats the best feeling ever.

When my Mum tells the dog Im coming to visit and she sits excitedly waiting at the window till I show up and goes mad barking as i pull in the car, thats the best feeling ever.
