Yes, the pros are doing whatever you want when you want...but yea, I'll say that at the end of a day of playing golf, hanging out with friends, etc...do you get depressed when your friends or whoever you were hanging out with go home to their spouses and/or kids? What becomes the meaning of life at 40 when you really have nothing to leave behind? What keeps you getting out of bed each day and thinking you have a real purpose since you missed the 'family' part of life? What's the next step?

Sometimes going home to no one is better than going home to a sham marriage where you are only in it until the kids turn 18?

It is sad if children are the only mark you leave on this world.

Do you feel like you have disappointed your parents if you only have children as your accomplishments?

I'm in my mid-30's with no kids, but I do have a gf (no pics) and its fricking amazing. I'm not complaining when my friends have to go home early (like 10:00ish) and face screaming kids and no money.

Can you first tell me the purpose of life?

Then I'll decide whether I should be depressed.

Does being in a loving, committed relationship and having sex with your partner on a regular basis really seem that depressing?

Personally, I'm greatly looking forward to the days when I have plenty of money and financial security so that I can do what I want when I want. If I have a beautiful, faithful woman by my side, then that's all I could ask for.

Get a few pets if you would like the responsibility and compassion of caring for and attending to another living creature.

I'm 33, single and no kids and I love it. I guess that's old for single and no kids.

Only thing I have to worry about when going to Green Bay is who keeps the dog. Not bad

I used to be in that number and got married at 32. Fast forward five years I now have a 3 1/2 year old son and the wife is 7 1/2 months pregnant with another son. I would not trade my life now for anything in this world.

Long long ago, life was about doing your best to be great!, not being rich, or having many lovers, or being comfortable, life was about striving to do great things that ouf fellow men would remember for generations!


That impulse is all but gone.

I have a lot of gfs in their mid to late 30s that are financially independent and single with no kids. They all seem very content. If they get in a relationship....great, but it doesn't make or break their overall happiness. They all travel a good bit as well.

You can find meaning in a lot of things. I don't have kids, but I have nieces & nephews and awesome friends. My life doesn't have a ton of deep meaning, but I'm pretty happy.

Somehow I doubt this.

How so? They do what they want. Travel when they want, go out with friends when they want, etc. many of them successful women (doctors, lawyers, etc).

They wouldn't pass up a relationship and marriage.....but they don't let that define their happiness.

What do they talk about in their spare time? Like at happy hours and whatnot?
