| Jan 26, 2018 at 9:50 | comment | added | Astralbee | @Flater New people are born and come of age every day. If this statistic is reliable then we can assume that at any given time there are a third of people who feel that way, some single, some newly in a relationship, some newly eligible. Anyway, they are still like minded irregardless of whether or not they are single. | |

statistically speaking it shouldn't be difficult to meet like-minded individuals That very much depends on whether those 1 in 3 milennials are generally still looking for a relationship. Many of the decidedly childfree milennials I know also don't pursue long term relationships (other than maybe short flings and one night stands).

| Jan 25, 2018 at 18:41 | comment | added | Kat | Online dating can definitely suck in some ways. But as @BrentHackers says, it absolutely allows for (1) reaching way more people than you can even consider through real life circles and (2) allows early checking for compatibility (very relevant for the question at hand! -- the kids question is always there, usually). And with all due respect OP, saying you're "not desperate" sure makes it seems like you have avoided online dating because you look down on it (since acting like people only use it out of desperation is very disparaging). For what it's worth, I met my wife online (not dating site) | |

Simply put, a life goal to NOT HAVE KIDS sounds myopic whereas a life goal to go into space which is supported by not having kids sounds reasonable. | |
