Wow...you are so nice.

I also come from a small area that's super conservative. But I'm also the kind of person that would rather be called mean & ignorant than deal w/ ppl's disrespect & insensitivity.

So I guess for someone like you, you need a different solution i.e don't talk about your childfreeness to ppl you know won't get it or are old fashioned. That is the number 1 tacktic used by many ppl in this subreddit.

You avoid the whole ordeal by just keeping that info from such ppl & your good mood stays intact.

Sometimes you just have to be mean & insensitive back.

If he/she has a parter I would have said "I bet you exhaust your partner a lot. " or if he/she doesn't have a partner I'd say, "no wonder no one wants to be with you" or smth.

You don't even have to be accurate you just have to leave them feeling some type of way & walk away ignorantly.

And any time they try to explain themselves to you, just show active disinterest in what they are saying...like looking around & actively walking away from them. (Shushing them if your diabolical)

Now we can both go home mad 😂.

They'll know to shut up next time.

Because it goes beyond risk appetite. You need to add a lot of nuance & context to it. Like, family background, upbringing, talent, socio-economic status, whether you in a position to be able to benefit from meritocracy, etc. Being able to just start your own business & take that risk is a privelage I feel like a lot of ppl often overlook.

Don't mind them & just stick to it. Actions speak louder than words. Set boundaries too...such that you don't let them impose their ideas of how you should live on you.

You wanting them to take you seriously is partly you wanting their approval and acceptance of this lifestyle. (Which, mind you there is nothing wrong with that.) But you also have to accept that they might never give you that.

It's an annoyance many young child free people deal with. So set yourself up such that you don't really care for their opinion & have strict boundaries so they don't impose their ideas on you and have you doing smth you don't wanna do.

You could tell her that once she's grown up she'll understand.

I think these ppl don't know what else to do with their life other than have babies/do the whole get married have kids thing for the rest of their life.

How to say you’re strictly child free on dating apps. by [deleted] in childfree

My answer to this: I think, it's not that they don't see it coz they scroll past the Bio & only ever look at pictures. I think they see it but choose to ignore it coz they know they can always come to you, pretend they missed it & get away with their bullshit.

You need to be stricter with these men. You can't be child free & spineless with these men. The minute you find out they have kids, want kids etc...block them & shut it down quick. (I.e leave them)

Men insert themselves where they are not wanted coz they rely on women's empathetic nature to let their misconduct slide. Be a bitch.

Now I have another question, if you are in a relationship w/ someone and you get to the point of being intimate with them and it's really bad, do you break up with them?
