I've never had them either
but then I'm a realist

You're only young so they might kick in yet.
I think if I'd have been with someone long time who wanted kids then I might have been persuaded.

I doubt it
I have a large family so I know what babies/children are like. I also know full right and well that I could never offer the same care and sacrifices that my mum did for me. Plus the whole revolted by pregnancy thing

Realist in what sense?

I'm not maternal
loads of female friends are already saying they can't wait to have children, or complaining of baby urges. Plus I have very specific career ideals and ambitions that don't mix with children, and I'm deadset on them

Not being maternal isn't the realist bit. Your opinions and decisions are.
In a way I'm more of a realist because I have those hormonal urges but allow my life choices to give me the strength to ignore them.

That is realistic
Also I'm quite selfish. I'd never want to have a child and then deny it what it should have because I cared more for something else
