I'm 24, male and peers my age and above are looking to buying houses in the middle of fucking nowhere (i live in a large city), moving in with their fiances/girlfriends/new wives and getting dogs
i don't give a fuck about any of that shit. the idea of a girlfriend/wife repulses me, I have 0 interesting giving away hours of my time to get a dog that would eat my rotting corpse if it was hungry enough, so much for man's best "friend", and i'm perfectly content with not owning a house in the suburbs with weird sheltered communities and housewives with xanax addictions
Is this being a Manchild or am i living a valid life choice?
What DO you spend your time doing and what DO you want your life to be in the next 10-15 years?

I spend my time working, taking classes for professional development/ for the sake of learning cool shit, lifting, reading, consuming media, and sexing girls here and there.
10-15 years from now I'd like to make strides in my career where I'm doing something as close to my "dream job" as possible, while also affording to take care of my parents as they age and other family members with whatever they need.
I really don't see another woman or house or Golden Retriever fucking that up for me
I mean, you're 24 so it's entirely normal to not want to settle down. It's not like you you'll face pressure from society to have babies before 35 like women. You could live a pretty chill life and not settle down well into your thirties. But there'll be a time where you want to create a family, it isn't really something you can control.
> Past a certain age, a man without a family can be a bad thing.

Does it matter? If you're happy with what you got what does it matter if strangers say it's "valid" ? Every path has its downsides. Go with the one that feels right and try to brush off the people who insist you aren't happy.
Let's be friends op,i though i was alone

You're obviously free not to give a shit about the same things your peers give a shit about. Most people never will respect most of the choices you made anyhow.
If it helps you, you sound more like a person with slight sociopathic tendencies than a manchild.
