I have several! I have childhood friends and coworkers who are happily in the "Dual Income No Kids" camp. While I was afraid that having DS would change our relationship, it hasn't! 
They love my kid, just don't want one of their own!!

Do you qualify as a DINK if you plan to have friends some time in the future? If so, most of my friends are. And we are right now as well (for another 31 odd weeks or so haha).
-
Most of my childless by choice friends are gay couples.
-
I'm the first of my friends to get married and pregnant, so no.
-
No, none!! They all have kids or are trying.
-
Only a few, maybe 2-3 couples. Most of our friends are married with 1-2 kids.
-
Yes, a few couples.
-
Quite a few of them, actually.
-
@Mae: haha do you mean kids?
-
One couple and I don't think that will end up having kids. It is still on the table.
Then another couple, gay guys, that won't have kids.
Both people in both relationships do VERY well for themselves too. -
Several- though many will have kids in the future, just waiting a but longer.
-
Not anymore. One couple has a baby now and another is divorced.
-
We have several. But it's pretty common in our fields to wait till later to have kids so I'm not sure if they plan on having kids or not. Only one couple has said they don't really want kids (though the husband does, we'll see how that goes). But the wife really likes their lifestyle so she's vetoed the idea. Kids haven't really changed our friendship though.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: LOL! yes. I swear to God I am so tired today it's amazing I'm still (sorta) upright. Considering bed at 7:42. Forgive me
-
Yes, but the majority of my friends are newlyweds or engaged!
-
All of my friends either have or want kids.
-
Yep lots if you count people who intend to have kids in the future. We're the first in our circle to have a baby, even though DH and I are 34/30 respectively. We had/have a pretty nice circle of other DINKS that we spent time with.
It's only been 8 weeks since our daughter was born, but I would suspect those relationships will change a little bit. One of my friends came to visit the other day, and she was having a birthday party that she invited me to on facebook. She's like.... I literally hovered over your name for 5 minutes before adding you to the invite list considering it's at 9pm in a bar in the downtown core of the major city 45 minutes from our suburb. I told her I certainly appreciated the invite, and am really happy when people still think to include me because it's nice to have the option! But unfortunately I had to decline...I kind of assume some of the more peripheral "friend of a friend that I see out and about" will fall away. But I'm actively recruiting my friends to have babies too
-
I only know one DINK couple and they are two lovely ladies.
-
A couple, but I think some of them plan to have kids in the future.
-
About half And half? Most of my friends are already married...I'd say half of them have kids.
-
None that I can think of...
-
Some but we actually fall into this category. Some of my friends know we have IF but some don't. For a while, we saved our money for upcoming pregnancy. Now, we are trying to enjoy it. Gotta make the best out of our IF journey.
I do know 3 DINKs that secretly have IF. Beginning to see how common IF is.
-
Several, and we were DINKS ourselves up until DS arrived!
-
We are currently DINKS, but trying to remedy that with TTC! We actually have several couples that are and plan to stay DINK and never want kids.
-
I have married without kids friends, but they're TTC!
-
We were (are?) the DINKs...when LO arrives, our friends will all either be married with kids or single and living it up. I'll probably miss being able to easily slide between the two groups.
-
Well I guess i and most of my friends are... Wish I wasn't tho, lol
-
Quite a few! I think most are planning on having children in the future.
-
We are! Of my closest friends, two are married mommas, four are DINKS, one is engaged, one is in a serious relationship, and two are single.
-
Most of my friends who are married are still in their twenties and waiting 5+ years to even consider having kids. I don't know anyone who has ruled it out completely.
-
Nope, none. All of our friends who are married have either started having kids in the past 3 years or are currently expecting!
