Is saying that you don't want to get married / kids is wrong or does that make you a "lover" type vs. a "provider" type that we want to stay away off?

Do you guys show a romantic / looking for true love bla bla bla bullshit side of you? Or this should be calibrated on a girl to girl basis (party girl vs a serious girl)

women run on hope. even against all odds and evidence.

don't steal their hope.

most want a relationship (in the end at least) and even if you ACT unwilling to commit, ACT unwanting of a family or kids, etc...

they still have their hope.

if you come straight out and say "nope, not gonna happen".

you take away the hope.

you take away the fantasy.

they love their fantasies.

then. yer done.

even if she doesn't want those things,

she WANTS you to WANT those things.

she WANTS to believe that she could make you WANT/DO those things.

rather than saying "i don't want those things"

it's better to act as though you just aren't sure, you need some convincing, you are "a little uneasy" about the concept.

why?

HOPE

I think all this topics should be discussed during the dating phase. If you don't want marriage or kids, you should be honest about that. There are a lot of men as well as women, who want serious relationship, but don't want to get married or have children. That's normal and does not make you look wrong.
