I answer this is earlier in the comment line.
Asks a question about singlehood.
How does X seem to equal that?
???
It came as an honest open question and search for opinion. If I wanted to say "Single people without kids are just losers who either cant have kids or cant get a man/woman" I would have just said it. Thats not what I think, nor was it my intend. I wanted to gauge opinions and reactions to the concept.
So far,…
How is asking "Is X Possible" an indication of a presupposed bias "that X is the case"?
Also, again, what exactly is offensive about it? Ive heard that term like 4 times, yet no one can say exactly why they find it offensive other than the mere thought that it 'could' apply to them (though in every case, the person…
Hmm.
Having the thought of something even being possible = evidence of bias for that thing? Really?
I was only asking for opinions. If the question was academic, there would need to be positive proof that "who needs it all"-ers both ways, rather than anecdotal or personal individual observational evidence. Its probably…
Interesting!
I guess I still just feel (not assuredly think or know) that a LOT of women AND men who go on the "Im happy without children" route tend to either be the people you described in group 1: Happy being single, or people who cannot get or , 2-keep a partner due to any range of issues...physical appearance,…
Best and most detailed response Ive gotten. Thank you!
Ill say what I said to a few others whove said the same:
I see what you are saying, and a few others have said the same. I think I probably phrased the question badly. I was specifically referring to, or at least meant to refer to SINGLE people who go the "happy without kids/happy single adult" route.
How is the mere…
I see what you are saying. You would not be part of the instance I mentioned.
But your friends. Please dont take this as a slight towards your friends, Im sure they are wonderful people, but is it not entirely possible that the ones you mentioned that are choosing to be childless and single/divorced/dating are so…

What part about it is offensive? Especially considering that youve just stated that it doesnt apply to you (you have a longterm partner)?
Even if it did, why is the mere possibility or thought personally offensive?
Interesting. Thanks for the honest reply.
??? Why? Im just looking for an opinion. If you think the answer is 'no, thats not it at all', just say that.
Why even respond to a question with a nonresponsive facetious semiquestion?
Id like to ask a serious question and by no means is it intended in offense (Im asking others, just to get a feel for the responses):
I am 100% (well 99%) sure YOU are a wonderful attractive person that any guy or gal would love to be with, but is it at all possible that a majority/great deal of the 'Im happy without…

I would figure this is more a reflection of how bad things have gotten for the 99% in this economy.
