Why do women put prefer not to say when it asks if the want children? I don’t understand why it would be a secret one way or the other and hope someone can explain this to me.
Oh and so I don't forget, thanks in advance for the imput.

I couldn't tell you the motive behind that, but guessing I would say if the woman says something like that she is willing to use the man. Or she has a total problem with making babies, I would find out what the reason is, before getting too attached to one that states that. Some may have made all they want to make.

The only thing it says to me is she wants to be able to play either side.

Thats me too, I am menopaused no more will be made, now my girlfriend had to have a histerectomy after having a few kids and now can';t make any more.
Maybe she's barren for some reason or other but doesn't want to say so right out on the profile. That kind of negates the "not sure" category without going into detail. They're pretty damned sure, if they've had a hysterectomy for cystic ovaries or something.
And it's not really anything to be ashamed of. Some women just like their reproductive junk to stay private. I don't blame them.
I personally want more children so I base potential with that part of a profile in mind, don’t get me wrong I tend to be a real picky SOB but I see that a lot and was a bit thrown by it.

Well, if they get to know you a bit, maybe they'll tell you and you can still be friends. Nothing wrong with friends man. I'm not judging, I'm just trying to see it from their point of view...

I don't have any trouble saying, I don't want any more children, don't want a man who has young children, and don't want a man who I have to raise either. Been there done that.
I would imagine though that younger women who are still in child raising age wouldn't want to say till they get to know someone, too much pressure and too many expectations. Just a thought.

Look ... I don't know how to put this gently but ... WEEeeeeelll, Perhaps they MIGHT want children, just not with you .... or me .... maybe they want children with Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp ... or EVEN Keith Richards ... just not with us. There is a lot of huffing and puffing goes into giving birth you know.

Perhaps they should have a, "Fully functional but not loaded." option. That would work for the guys that have had the snip too.

No idea I'm afraid.
Perhaps they are not sure, still undecided.
and for Healthyliving.....we are not old just because we are menopausal........it's just a stage we are going through, lots of life left in us.....................................................................................

There are a few reasons....
1. They have been there and done that.....
2. They just dont want any children....
3. If they do want children they may be afraid to say it as they may think it may scare off a potential father....Lol
