Men WITHOUT babies

[Livingmylifetothefullest]

Do you ladies know ANY men that don't have kids like siblings, friends, coworkers, etc.? I mean, it seems like everytime I turn around, a man has a kid(s). 9x out of 10, they aren't with the mother but is it still possible to met a man in this century that doesn't have a child(ren)?

Thank goodness my brother doesn't want any or else he too would become a statistic.

The likelihood increases the older men get. In the 35 and under crowd, I've met plenty of childless black men.

 

[LunadeMiel]

All of the men that I'm acquainted with are childless. They are all colleged educated, raised in two parent homes.

 

[Prudent1]

Yes. They do still exist...

 

[Mortons]

I know plenty

 

[JustKiya]

Yep, sure do - all of the childless men I know, though, I met in college or after college.

90% of the men I knew in high school have kids.... the ones who don't are either gay or slores.

I know quite a few SBM with children (and SBW who have children with SBM) so I get where you're coming from OP. I also know many SBM who don't have children and are actively working to make sure that they don't have any until they're ready.

 

[Kerryann]

i know a good amount

 

[ThickHair]

I recently met 2, one guy is 38 and the other one is 42.

 

[TayMac]

I know several of them. Nice guys too..all over 25.

 

[Murjani]

Yes, I know quite a few. Ranging from ages 28-38

 

[dlewis]

I don't know many. We have some friends (35+) that are single and childless.

Dh didn't have any kids when I met him. He married his babymoma.

 

[newslady]

Honestly, I understand the OP.
If DH had kids I doubt we'd be together.
When I dated guys with kids it never worked out.

All you ladies with single childless men friends can you send some to the DFW area..I don't know many here and if they are childless there are batting for the same team as I am..

My husband did not have any kids when we married and he was 30. That was one thing that turned me off. I did not want to have any children and he did. Nonetheless, I was not going to let this wonderful man pass me by. As soon as he proposed, I snatch the ring and told him what time to meet me at the church.

I guess too it's all in how you look at things, because he hated being in the same boat as your brother....a different kind of statistic.

So, we are happily married and I kicked out two more kids for us! He spoils me rotten and I'm lovin it! I glad I drop my preferences when I did!

I live in the U.S. None of my male friends and acquaintances between 25 and 40 have children.

They are all of different ethnicities including Black American.

The unifiying fator is that they all have a minimum of a Master's Degree. Education is often a strong delaying tactic for having children.

I can only think of two guys that I know with children and both don't have a degree. I live in the DC area and all the guys in my social circle are educated and childless.

Perhaps this is why I know so many childless men. That and my age. Good point.

I agree, it's all in who you hang out with.

I have one black female friend who swears that all black men have kids. I countered by pointing out X number that didn't. She said, "Where do they live?" and I named the states they were in. She then used that to say that pretty much all black men in Michigan have kids.

So I broadened my definition of "friend" and listed pretty much every young black man I knew in Michigan who did not have kids. She was not happy because I was disproving her "woe is me" point of view.

But I look at who she hangs out with... despite being well educated, she hangs out and entertains the attention of very marginal black men... so, yes, it's more likely that the black men she meets has children, while the ones I meet (well educated, etc.), will not.

 

[NYLegalNewbie]

Virtually every man that I have met in the past 2 years has not had children. The one who did (my ex boyfriend who I broke up with about a year and a half ago) was married to his son's mother for a couple of years, and they were amicably divorced. His son is cared for very well. He's college educated and an executive, age 37.

 

[SvelteVelvet]

My brother is in his mid twenties and childless. So is my studio engineer, I believe he is in his early thirties. He's also college educated and works in finance.

 

[DMJ's Mom]

I know a few

Ummmm.... can you hook a sista up?!!!

What's the catch?

I can somewhat relate to what you are saying, but I am in the 35 - 40 range (shame on me for doing the career thing first).

My dilemma is that many of the men that I meet in my age range that don't have children don't want any. I have also met men in that age bracket that have children and don't want anymore.

My preference would be a man in my age bracket that does not have any children YET.

For those that know men in the 35+ age range that don't have kids and would like to have them someday... WHERE ARE THEY???

 

[Highly Favored8]

Yes, they do exist.

 

[madamdot]

I don't actually know any single guys with kids. And I do agree that it is mostly about who you hang out with and education being one of the reasons for delaying having kids . . . but even then . . .

I have 3 brothers ranging in age from 38 to 50. No kids.

 

[LunadeMiel]

Their ages range from 25-28. They are all very nice and intelligent. One just got into Law school, the other just made Associate or something that just got him a big pay raise at a large financial firm, a couple are getting their Masters

 

[Solitude]

Although I had a child as a teen, not a single man that I've dated (casually or long-term) in the last 7 years since I had my son has had a child. They have all been Af-Am, working, and college-educated.

I don't believe in the black male shortage. You attract what you put out.
