For Child-Free FatFIRE People: Where Did You Meet Your Partner?
For those in the FatFIRE community who are child-free by choice (or strongly leaning that way), have you found it difficult to meet compatible long-term partners?
I’m 35F, and while finding high quality matches hasn’t been a challenge, finding true lifestyle compatibility has felt much harder. A lot of people still ultimately want a fairly traditional path centered around children, deep integration with family of origin, and putting down roots permanently in one place.
I’ve realized I lean a bit more unconventional. I value stability, healthy family relationships, and long-term partnership, but I also value adventure, autonomy, and location flexibility, at least at this stage of life.
For those here who built a life with that kind of freedom and found a compatible partner along the way while being FatFired or on the path to it:
-Where did you meet?
-Did you find it harder once you became financially successful or location-independent?
-Were there certain communities, cities, or environments where you found more like-minded people?
Curious how others in this community navigated this.
