    I'm childfree by choice and have zero interest in babies or children.

    I've never held a baby, though people have tried to hand them to me. I put up my hands and say, "No, no, no, no." :lol: I never even held my nieces nor did I babysit them until they were potty trained, and even then it was only for short bits of time.

    Just not into kids. They're too loud and unpredictable for me.

    They're so cuuute! ^.^ I'd want to have a daughter or to, but they'd have to be adopted, since I'm afraid about giving birth. I would be worried me/my partner or the baby would die or something during labor. :frowning2:

    I don't prefer the company of children, but I can at least relate with them. Babies on the other hand... I don't want anything to do with them or the responsibility they come with

    I dunno. They're kind of like tiny people, only sorta chubby and they smell funny. But they always seem to like me, which not many normal sized people do, so I guess they're okay.

    I love kids but not until they get to about age 4 or 5. I've decided if I have kids, I won't be the biological father.

    I love babies! They are so adorable. I hate when they cry though. That cry kills my ears. I would love to at least three children but not so sure if I can go through pregnancy.. I've seen plenty of baby shows and I don't tolerate pain well. I might just adopt or future wife can conceive.

    Nooooo. Never. Never ever.

    My brother and I have a 5-year age gap, and my mom always tried to show me how to change a diaper so that when me and my future wife started our huge family when I got older that I'd be well-prepared. :eyeroll:

    My brother had gastrointestinal issues as a baby, and so not only did he scream in pain nonstop for the first 18 months of his life, but his diapers were an ugly mess.

    I think that laid the groundwork for me not wanting kids at all. I know that even if I was straight, I still wouldn't want kids, and I'd have it just as hard finding a mate as it is for a lot of gay men and lesbians, as it seems that women who don't want kids seem to be few and far between.

    I've never wanted one of my own and am not comfortable around children of most ages. I'd say I have no attraction to babies, not that I dislike them.

    With one exception chosen by my mother, my childhood dolls were adults, not babies. As a lesbian I liked not having to worry about getting pregnant. When I started dating men, I got my tubes tied.

    I had thought it was just me and part of what made me bisexual in not wanting kids, but my cousin says it runs in our family. She loves her son, but she was constantly handling him over to her mother in law. I couldn't deal with the crying either. My Grandma hated babies too but still had my dad and aunts and uncles. I would have to adopt between 4-6.

    I don't care for babies or children in general but I love my own. Every parent says it's different with your own and it's true.

    Couldn't agree more, raising one's own kids (and this applies to adopted kids too) is a unique and beautiful human experience.

    Tough as hell sometimes, but each one is a lesson in love...

    I always get uncomfortable and nervous around babies. I'm always worried that I'm about to do something wrong. And frankly, there is no way in hell that I could deal with some of the jobs/responsibilities of having a baby.

    I love kids. I used to work at an amusement park, and I still love them.

    I was adopted when I was born so I plan on adopting in the future.

    I hate babies. First of all, they don't do very much. They eat, they crap, they cry, and some of them drool, which makes me want to plug their mouths up with something.
    Second of all, I can't use logic on a baby, and that means I can't get it to do anything I want it to do unless I get lucky.

    I love babies, and want some. Not terribly particular about whether I gave birth to them or not.

    Correct. When women who want kids run across a guy who doesn't want kids, regardless of the reason, they either kick and scream, try to convince you otherwise, tell you that you are selfish, or walk. The walking part is inevitable, actually. And it's only fair if you think about it. If that's what they need, then that's what they need. It's just that some guys, straight or bi, have no interest in being daddies. Ever.

    I honestly don't understand this fear of babies. Sure, they can be unpleasant while crying, pooping, etc. But, that's basically their evolutionary instincts, trying to make us care for them because they're helpless.
