Why do people get lowkey annoyed when you tell them you're not married/no kids?

What's this about? I notice that a fair share of people seem to get somewhat annoyed and are ready to end the conversation when I tell them I'm not married and have no kids.
I'm 33.

generally they're looking to bond or small talk
kids are easy to bond and small talk about
if you don't have either they have to look for and think about something else. which is hard because spouse and kids take a lot of headspace.

Nobody is annoyed nor does anybody care about it.
When you first meet someone though, kids/spouse is an easy thing to talk about and bond over. So if they go kinda quiet, it’s not from annoyance but more not having anything else to bring up. The next topic is prob some generic question like if you have any fun vacations coming up.

The only people who have ever looked askance at my situation (childless, unmarried and vehimently anti-marriage, GF 15 years younger) are in-house counsel who only know me from phone conversations. Usually they will say something about kids and schools and such and say where do my kids go and I am like “I have no children” or “my children have four wheels and stay in the garage.” Anyone who meets me in person is entirely unsurprised.
Thankfully, xoxo has so informed me about colleges and prestigious high schools I just go on talking about their kids and the situation passes.

What motivates this behaviour? What informs the sensibilities of those who sit tapping pencil against pad, looking thoughtful, portraying themselves as the Good and Dutiful Committee Member? What keeps them from standing up and raising the point of order (Mr. Chairperson) that if brains were dynamite, there wouldn't be enough in this room to blow up a paper bag?
Patriarchy? The imposition of Male Power which restrains and endlessly postpones the Dawning of the Glorious Female Golden Age?
I beg to differ.
Behind this Lesser Void of White Collar Make-Work Programs, the stultifying sameness of ass-covering and ass-kissing, the endless postponement of decision-making in favour of "further study", "further discussion", lies the Greater Void, the Omnivorous Engine which drives every committee, every study group, every institutionalised waste of human time and energy, which drives, in point of fact, our entire degraded society.
The Wife and Kids.
If we're going to be able to afford that new dining-room set. I'm going to have to get that raise. If I'm going to be able to get enough money for the down payment on the house, I'm going to have to pull a lot of overtime. If I'm going to pay for the new living-room furniture and the ballet lessons and the tuition at the private school, I'm going to have to get that promotion.
In one of those Poor Us studies for which the Emotional Female Void is notorious, it was pointed out that after a divorce, the average male standard of living rises by (pick you own ungodly number) percent. The average female standard of living drops by (pick your own ungoddessly Poor Us number) percent. This was presented (of course) as living proof of the unfairness of the Global Economic Structure. I think the more rational explanation is that the excision of a five-to-six-foot leech from the surface of a human body is going to have more of its own blood in its own veins. Unless the leech finds another body, it is going to go hungry. (Please don't call us leeches, huffed the leeches, we prefer the term "asset-challenged".)
Corporations, a living example of the Merged Void if ever there was one, always show a preference for the Family Man when it comes to promotions and positions of responsibility. In the case of Merged Voids, as with most other permutations of existence, It Takes One to Know One. Corporations (or companies of any size, really) wink knowingly at the Little Woman and Her Brood. Once the Male Light has disappeared over the Event Horizon, once the manacle of gold has been pounded into place on the ring finger of his left hand, he is, indeed, a Wage Slave. What goes unsaid (or, rather, what has gone unsaid until now) is that he serves Two Mistresses, Twin Voids. As he labours to make his mortgage payments, pay for groceries, little Axelrod's College Fund, the new sofa, the new drapes, the bigger house, the Company can rest easy. In labouring to fill the insatiable Void Need for material possessions at home, his time and his energy and his spirit disappear into the Vaginal Bottom Line of the workplace. Divorce, once badly thought of, has yielded even greater benefits. The employee with a Wife and Mistress, and later a Wife and an Ex-Wife (and still later a Wife, an Ex-Wife and a Mistress) is very much rocking to the beat of the Merged Void. Assuming he's going to get a little ahead of himself, the Bank Void steps in with an easy-payment schedule.
Ah, success.

weird how you're a 33 year old white dork using "lowkey" to imitate 15 year old girls who were themselves jacking actual black bros.

people who are barrel straight into getting married and raising a family by early 30s tend to be people who just innately feel that is what you're supposed to do with life. these are the same idiots who think it's 'selfish' to not have kids. seems to be how some are raised. if you parents are talking to you about 'one day when you have kids...' from the time you're four years old, you'll come to view it as inevitable. not everybody is raised with the insane over-emphasis on creating a standard nuclear family on a standard schedule.
also people who invest all their time and energy into family tend to be dumbasses who can't manage a full life simultaneously with raising children. dumbasses are typically more suspicious and less open-minded to differences. it's feedback loop. the people who are the most one-track invested in family are the most relative when they encounter anyone who isn't corralled into the same lifestyle. there is nothing on earth that dumb proles hate more than when confronted with people who don't share their exact values and the tendency festers with age.
