Never met a woman who wanted to have kids with me but I sure have met plenty of women who wanted me to help take care of the ones they already had.

Animals in captivity often breed less due to stress, limited space, disrupted social structures, and unnatural environments. Poor diet or health issues can also impact fertility.

I was born in NYC in '91 and grew up surrounded by cousins and kids in the parks. Now, as a mother of three, it’s striking how different things are. Most of my female cousins aren’t having kids, and my best friends either can’t afford to or don’t want to in today’s environment—even though they’d make amazing parents. After moving to CA, I rarely see mothers my age, and parks often feel empty. The concept of 'a village' feels obsolete. Motherhood today is incredibly isolating and nearly impossible without financial privilege.

I’m Norwegian electrician, make 77grand a year, my wife makes also good money. And we can’t afford 2nd child. The bank make minus -120.000,- in our loan capacity per child. So the Norwegian state punishes us if we have children. If we have 3 children, it will be impossible to have a place to live.

We really need to discuss how expensive daycare and raising a kid is now. It's insane. Daycare is a second mortgage.

As a lawyer who practices in the area of family law (divorce), I can think of many reasons why men do not want to get married, especially in the USA.

Animals don't breed in captivity. The economic situation is similar to being captive.

I've always thought that its ironic that the same entities that have cause the decline in quality of life across the board are the same that seem to show "concern" that people are slowly but steadily having less and less children. Housing is a nightmare, inflation is through the roof, healthcare is abysmal. You always seem to be working the same, sometimes more hours yet you can only afford less, life is filled with stressants and uncertainty and yet governments and corporations seem dumbfounded by the lowering birthrates, only concerned because their pool of cheap labor and tax slaves diminishes year by year.
