No...I think I wouldn't mind if a guy I dated had them...but honestly I have never been around kids much...I think I would forget to feed them or pick them up from school or something like that. lol

inprint: Hi, I have noticed that a lot of guys answer 'not sure' to the 'do you want kids' question on there profile. I definately want kids someday (provided I meet the right guy) so don't reply to these guys. This really narrows down my options!

I thought a poll might be a good idea. Surely two thirds or more of guy can't all be 'not sure'!!!


Do I want them? I already have a 5 year old daughter from a previous relationship, although if I found the right woman to settle down with i would like to start a familywave

I have "not sure" on my profile, seeing as there's a missing component in my life, as in, a lady. I can't "do it" alone.laugh

Might happen some day, maybe not, so...."not sure".

I agree with JP here. I think most guys are just being coy there, presumably because they think if they shout from the rooftops how much they want kids it might scare prospective partners off.

What? Surely votes are anonymous! Maybe I'm wrong! It was a general question. I wasn't trying to find out who lied on their profile and who didn't.

I'm not particularly interested in meeting 40+ men. I get on better and have more in common with guys closer to me own age.

I think you are 100% right in saying lads should put a simple yes or no on the profile. And the same for the ladies. I just dont believe that once someone reaches 30 that they dont know whether they want them or not.

well maybe they really are not sure...Honestly I dont think anyone is 100% about kids..I never sat down and said Im def having kids I know a few people who have said from a young age they wanted kids and unfortunately they ended up in a relationship where either they or their partner couldnt have any.. its not the end of the world and they have great lives JMO

Sorry but just to clarify are you saying that age (being about 40) is one reason why some guy might say 'not sure' or are you asking me to give a reason?
Aug 29, 2010 9:13 AM CST Do you want kids?
yeah im saying age
when i was younger i assumed i would have had kids but but by 35 and no serious relationship i viewed that as less likely as time went on best i could hope for was step kids
basicaly what im saying if i had met someone here and they wanted kids yeah i would be up for it but at moment got teens from my current gf who i get on very well with they certinly dont view me as a father but i view them as kids i never had

Realise what you mean now. I'm sick today so a bit slow! But your answer wouldn't apply to guys who's profiles I would look at or I would be interested in anyway.

I think it's a weird question to have on a dating site. Like if I wanted kids I'd say ya or someday but with you?? I don't know. Who are you? can we go out for year or two before I make up my mind? (Not directed at the OP) Too much info before dating I think. JMO. It's very final to me for some reason.

If the option wasn't there and I was asked the question anyway, alarm bells would start ringing in my head to get out of there.
