To be honest when I see profile of any gal having kids and looking for date/relationship, I personally don't consider her for any relationship but friendship is ok. I know I may sound stupid but this is the way I am I have some priorities and I also know that it can happen to me as well ..but at the moment this is how I see the things...
whatever! everyone is entitled to their preferences! as long as you are honest and upfront about it from the start! if you knew you wouldn't be interested in a woman with kids and strung her along anyway, that would be awful!
i don't think its stupid at all....but you can understand why some women would get defensive about this if they have kids.
first of all, we have kids and no man will rule over them...
second: we have to start as friendship...more than just ourselves to think about...
To be honest, most men think we are looking for someone to care for our kids..we want that later, not financially but take care as in emotionally there for our kids...at least that is what I want...so if I put in my profile I am looking for marriage...how many guys will go running?
I am not looking for marriage, doubt I ever will do that again, but you must base your relationships first on friendship...trust and all that
I think that too. I think a lot of men believe that we are looking for financial gain. I provide for my children, and would never expect that from a man! Their father never provided, so why should any other man be expected to!
Also, yes, friendship should always come first. Friendship is what all good relationships are built on. They may be your lover, but they should also be your best friend, your confidant.
I agree with you Marie, but it is not that I don't like kids but like gals have some preferences.....I think guys also wants their kids.....I am also not telling that any gal who have kids and separated should not start new relationship ....but I am sure there must be many guys who also think like me....but till now nobody turned up.....
Now to clear myself I never told that I do this because I want to escape from financial burden...I simple wants my kids and want to see myself in them .....you all got me wrong
The problem is also this. How many women get to our age, and do not have children? They are few and far between. Most of us have broken marriages and relationships behind us. Also, the mother normally takes the children on in these circumstances. There are many men who say they have kids, but they do not live with them.
I think you have more chance of finding rocking horse poo, than finding a woman of our age who doesnt have, or want, children.
And if you see my profile you will find this exactly what I am seeking for (no offenses) a relationship.....but I am very amiable and friendly guy....so I just shared my priorities
There is nothing wrong with having preferences. We all have them and they are all different. The reasons don't really matter as long as you are honest about it, that's the main thing!
I don't deny the fact that love can happen with anyone....but I will try my best to find someone without all the 'baggage'....but if this is what written in my destiny then I will accept it....you see what I mean
