I have allways been up front that I have no kids. The world is filled up with way to many kids right now, the snowball efect. having more then 2 kids is being totally irresponsible. Having 4,5,6 or more kids is like sentencing them to the death penalty..if every man has 6 kids, and those 6 kids all have 6 kids, ..you see where I'm coming from, what kind of a carbon footprint will that be dunno Do the six child familys think that we will find another planet to live on by 2050?? confused dunno More then 2 kids per couple is putting your own kids in peril....On a global world?? Ya think about it...I'm glad I dont have kids to live into 2050, because it will be a very sad over-populated world.

sargentmcdog: Thanks bestbefore. I must admit I am feeling a little blue about this cause it has not been easy to find a lady who will love me and my kids too.


The best things in life are not 'easy'.

Honesty is definitely the best policy.

I knew a lovely woman via the internet who weighed over 300 lbs.

She didn't tell potential dates - and when one met her he drove away in disgust because she had been evasive about this fact.

Some men like grossly overweight women and some don't.

Some women would not want to meet a guy with one kid let alone six to look after.

However, there are women who absolutely adore kids - and the more the merrier!

Yes - be honest and meet a woman who adores loads of kids and then your honesty will be blessed and not shat on!

thumbs up

Honesty is always best. I read your profile, nice and real. When you do meet your match there will not be an element of surprise or distrust.

Take heart that many of us on this site is not finding it easy to meet that special somebody like immediately. Give it time. Good luck

sargentmcdog: I chose to be completely honest in my profile about having 6 kids. All i seem to be getting is mean E-mails bashing me for having 6 kids.

Well let me clarify, all 6 kids are from the same mother and marriage of 19 yrs of which the divorce will be final soon.

I thought the honesty would have been met with appreciation rather than opposition. I just didnt want any surprises thrown in at a later time that might be a deal breaker.

My question is this: Should I have left that part off or did I do the right thing by being honest up front?

Im not asking for someone to tell me what to do, I just want some honest opinions as to if being that honest was a good or a bad thing.

Thanks


It's a good thing to be honest about something important like children. If you got a date not telling and the woman doesn't want children and you spring it on her, she'll probably not see you again. So being honest may not get you as many dates upfront, but at least the dates you will get won't go sour over the children.

You knew before you asked this question that honesty is best. You also knew that people with limited thinking are everywhere , including here on CS, and that the issue of your having 6 kids would provoke negative responses from some of the more idiotic and limited ones.

See? I am not insulting your intelligence here. Now don't insult ours, and admit that this thread was really about just getting some positive attention for a change, because with 6 kids and a break up of a relationship behind you, and all that goes with that, you can't have been getting a lot of anything positive for a while.

Now take some time out for you and bask in a little warmth on the threads and heal a little. Welcome to the forums.bouquet

Honesty is best, no doubt here. But timing is important as well. I have removed some part from my profile because of all the mean mail. You don’t have to tell the whole world about some circumstances of your life, especially if you get negative response from people who actually have nothing to do with it, they are just complete strangers that will remain complete strangers. But of course you should be open in a private correspondence when it turning into a serious thing. (Just my opinion)

Of course you did the right thing for having told the truth about your children. Why should you lie about that and spring it on someone later. People should know ahead of time so that no one wastes their time. I don't understand why people are bashing you for having 6 kids. If your a good father to them you should say it loud and proud. Sounds to me like your not a dead beat dad so as long as you love and take care of your kids good for you.

This might sound crazy, but look for somebody in the childcare field. It worked for a guy on here and he got me. So do not give up. And in case I have not had the chance welcomewave
