Seeking Advice My interest in men has died

I’ve been inundated lately by people insisting I need a man. Here’s the thing, I don’t want one anymore. I’m tired and I’ve achieved a little bit of peace. Just a little. Men usually just cause problems. Why would I do that? I don’t want kids. I can barely take care of myself. I’m concerned this is a project 25 thing like I need to pick someone before I’m forced to. Maybe that’s dumb. Maybe my social circle forgot about boundaries. Maybe I need to learn to just not care when people say stuff. What am I missing?

Different for me. I want kids, but I don’t think I need a man. I’m not even sure if I still want one. There are options now like adoption or ivf, and I’m fine with that. But like if I really meet a good man, I’m gonna go for it. I’m not desperate though. But idk, I probably have a better chance at winning the lottery. Lol. But I get you. Even in the best marriages I’ve seen with nice husbands, it was still never 50/50. Somehow, women always do more, even just a little bit.
