I think there a difference between being unwilling to spend a very time and straight out not wanting children.

If the guy wants children but is unwilling to spend time, I think the woman should kick him in the balls several times. Just to be sure.

The guy doesn't want children, but he doesn't mind having children with the woman as long as it's not too bothersome for him. The woman either really wants children, in which case this arrangement is to her benefit, or does not want children that badly, in which case they don't have children.

You speak as if these two are the only people on the planet.

Well, it's none of anyone elses business, so I don't see how other people being there is relevant.

If you mean it in the sense of "don't settle for someone who isn't going to help you with kids, no matter how good a match you otherwise are"... Never settle is a brag
