Do these men ever grow up?

I've met a 40 year old man who wants to date without pressure or expectation, he likes me, and wants to be open to see where things could go and explore his options. He hasn't had a serious, committed relationship in years. He smokes pot every day, in a job he hates, and isn't thinking about having kids yet.

I've made it very clear I am serious about meeting someone and starting a family in the next few years.

So why is he bothering with me? Wanting to waste my time, and his?

I'm annoyed by it. Of course, I will just say no and move on. But do these guys ever grow up? When they're 50 and infertile?

A 40 year old without a wife and kids and who is honest about what he wants is not a "monster".

Honestly there are some seriously sheltered opinions on here

It's utterly ridiculous. Imagine posting that single women are monsters for not wanting to get married, would obviously be equally ridiculous but would never be posted.
