I have never dated or even had a boyfriend and never will. Don't want that scene, don't need it, asexual, uninterested.

Most men/women want children, so you are eliminating a big portion of population by setting this as a deal breaker.

If you "set" a lot of deal breakers, you will end up with 0% of people compatible with you.

For example, in my case, I am atheist but I would accept a woman who's agnostic or non-practicing or even at most very moderately religious (but not much devout); if I put all those in the deal breaker category for me then I am like eliminating my chance with 99% of women in my area, and that based on the religiosity criteria only.

I also don't personally know very few woman who wouldn't want any marriage and children, again... if I am setting a condition of 'no kids' then I am also eliminating more than 90%.

And if I ever find this unicorn woman who's single AND not religious at all AND doesn't want kids, there's still a chance that we may not be compatible in other ways, like physical attraction, personality and so on...

Umm...you need to compromise, don't ever think you will ever find a gf/bf who's 100% compatible with you on everything.

^Would you think about looking for someone compatible in neighboring countries/islands? It is a compromise but doesn't impact on your deal breakers.

I am single, not religious and don't want children. I decided at the age of 8 I didn't want them and have never deviated. In fact, I detest children. And sex for that matter.

It's ok, my post wasn't directed at you in particular.

but here a fine example of what I said: I like sex.

So we are not compatible, unicorn lady. :lol:

Having children isn't really something you can compromise on. Morally I don't want to bring children into this world. I've been very unhappy most of my life and I wouldn't willingly pass life on knowing quite likely this poor creature will be miserable. It feels wrong.

I can't compromise on it.

That's understand and I have similar thoughts.

But you should accept this is highly likely to be a deal breaker for many guys, including some of your crushes.

I have, that's why I brought it up earlier in the thread as an explanation of why some people may be single when onlookers don't understand why.

It depends on how you define "dating." If you define it as someone who only bothers to call or come around when they want sex or money, I've had two.

Or Jordan.

There are some Israeli girls who are not nationalistic in the least. You actually might have a chance with them.

that's a difference and a matter of preference, not an incompatibility

the important thing is to understand the distinction. and then, if you realize that the actual incompatibilities reduce your pool of potential partners to a tiny number, then you know there's no need to beat yourself up for it. it's better to be alone than with an incompatible person. and if even despite all the difficulty you still want a partner, then you can focus on whatever ways are available to expand that pool, and look for places and situations with better odds. it's one of the reasons why i pursued my second nationality

I have lived through more than 5 and a half decades without dating or relationships. Never wanted to date or marry, and never did. Also never wanted kids, and never had any. Too old now anyway, and had the parts out more than 10 years ago--cancer.

I do have sympathy for those who do want someone in their lives, but haven't had luck that way, but I prefer being single, and living alone, so I am single and live alone.
