"What are your reasons for being childfree?" They are all listed here.
"What is you guys' age? Gender? Location? Religion? Job?" Previous subreddit surveys answer all of these.
"I'm childfree but my SO isn't. What do we do?" If they won't change their minds the same way you wouldn't, your options are limited.
"You guys complain a lot. Why are there so many rants?" It's important for everyone to have a space to vent, and sadly this is one of the very few we have.
"Am I the only one who likes children but doesn't want any of my own?" No, you aren't.
"I'm not CF, am I allowed to post here?" Sure, no trouble. We only ask you to be respectful of our life choices.
"Are you SURE I'm not going to regret that choice? I've never heard of parents regretting their choice." There are plenty parents who come here to tell us to follow our guts if it tells us that kids aren't meant for us.
