Women who opt out of having children

[Desdinova]

I've been thinking about this one for a while...

There are childless women out there who find a guy with kids, settle down with him, and still never have any kids of their own. I know three women personally who have done this. They are in their 30s and are likely never to get pregnant.

I've seen many women in their 30s who have their biological clocks ticking quite loudly and become desperate to have a child, regardless of whether she's genuinely interested in the man or not. But this is not that scenario.

Are these women settling down with the men solely because they know their value is decreasing, or are they highly attracted to these men?

Each man in the three scenarios I know of seems to know how to push the emotional buttons of these women. They are not 'beta' by any means.

Can a woman's attraction toward a man override her biological need to have children? I'm really leaning toward the answer being "yes it can".

absolutley i believe it can overriden due to pressure, albiet social and family, friends, the people close to her will drive her nuts and tear down her standards

its sweet leverage for an unattactive guy, now if they arent emotionally compatible and the arguments become volitile she can throw the fact she was desperate so she settled for him

nothing to to with beta behavior what so ever

I believe that this is called the Demographic-Economic Paradox

Generally it means that the wealthier and more educated people are, the less kids they have. Not individually mind you, but societies as a whole.

Nobody is sure why. Some think it's because wealthier, more educated people are less religious, or wealthier, more educated people have more options and means to enjoy life, and make a conscious choice not to mess it up with kids.
