JAN_is: To be fair you sound just as selfish because you appear to expect everyone to want the same as you.
There are a wide variety of members here, all with different backgrounds, ages, experience etc etc. That means that not everyone wants to start a new relationship, if indeed that´s what they are looking for here, with someone who has dependent children. I know I don´t, but I adore children, and you seem to be implying otherwise.
I love kids, and I'm still raising mine. So for me, it's been there, done that. I don't have the financial resources to take on a woman with kids, and at my age, it would be impractical, anyway. I'm not a runner, I just don't have the desire to take on more than I can chew. I have a lot on my plate as it is.
And the other poster is right - we've had a number of successful relationships and marriages form right here on CS.
I am a "No-Kids" person. (Am a granny already!) It was very awkward when I went on a date with someone I met on this site, and he told me how important it was for him to have children. He told me I am still young enough and tried to lay down an argument for me to change my mind.
I find it very interesting that my problem is the same as yours, only in reverse.
