I don't know many other childless couples our age now that I think about it.

I agree with everything that's been posted about this, as it was definitely our experience. Of course that doesn't mean there aren't social opportunities for people/couples who are childless. A few of the couples we were friends with ended up remaining childless and they're mostly hanging out with other childless people they eventually connected with. Younger (30s and 40s) childless couples also in my experience tend to spend more time with people quite a bit older (family members or friends) who either never had kids or whose kids have flown off on their own.
