to be honest, men with kids are attractive. I would never call their children a mistake, plus in some men it brings out a sort of maturity that any women would want.

#1: They did not read your profile very closely or were distracted by your good looks.

#2; They were interested in you and thought you might get past this requirement if you were really interested in them.

I have two kids, but I do understand a man or a woman who does not want to be with a partner who has kids. Several of my siblings have no kids of their own and have also chosen partners with no kids.

The desire to be in a relationship with a man or woman who has kids is not one to be taken lightly. It is not like other search criteria such as hair colour, height or interests for instance. Kids are for a lifetime and it is important that our partnerfreely loves and accepts them for everone to be happy

maybe in your opinion it's attractive but not for everyone. some people including myself don't like kids. i don't want my own so why would i want someone else's?? i can understand where the OP is coming from.

I just read your profile... the guys with kids who message you are not too smart.. Must be blind, can't read or gods gift to the earth and hope you ignore the fact they have kids (like others have mentioned before)..

Nothing wrong with you not wanting kids but you are at the same time limiting your options in the dating pool. But hey to each their own i guess.

But maybe should put pictures up that aren't so "sexy" kinda "revealing"... to me your profile is vague on who you are... your main focus seems to be don't want kids or anyone with, don't need to go in great detail cause as you expierence the guys ignore it.. so less about the no kids thing and more of who you are and your interests and ya

But good luck in your search

Because for some reason they actually want to meet you? Silly them; considering you are EXTREMELY explicit about what you don't want over and over in your profile.

The longer I'm on here, the more I come to realize that a lot of people just don't read profiles, they see a pic and jump ... reminds me of when I was a kid and only wanted to read the comics in the paper.

Wow, after reading your profile, OP....I am surprised you would get any mail.... Considering you only have 1 picture, my guess is that you are like most others here too, probably not even current or even you....How do these threads not get deleted anyway...

Definitely because all men with children must know what the word proclivities means. I don't ever want to look up a word while on a dating website ever again, it's embarrassing lol.

i have no idea! You don't want to have kids, that's your business. So, work for the rest of your life and then sign off all your assets over to a nursing home since that's your culture. Imagine some orderly wiping your ass or talking shit to you or even abusing you.

It's American culture to throw away the unwanted to nursing homes. now, if you don't even want to have kids, where will u go when you can't wipe your ass?

^^^So having kids because you fear the nursing home is so much better? People should really think a bit before posting. *bonk*

"I had my kid Johnny so that he has to look after me in my old age. I never wanted any kids, but I was scared of growing old alone so he's my safety net!"

Selfish much? Why should a person have a kid they don't want because they don't want to go to the nursing home? How is that fair to the kid, that they were just born to be mom and dad's safety net? Maybe little Johnny won't be that inclined to look after his parents when he's older, which is his right. I volunteer at a nursing home, and the majority are old folks with grown kids who never come see them.

Don't worry about what people call you..
It is your right to want to be free and have a relationship with someone who has no children.
I have found that if a person is pushing for it, they are usually the very ones that will call you selfish and mean if you don't want to go places and do things with their children all the time. They feel their children are so special they will win you over.And if it doesn't happen they become angry.
They want you and think they will change you..
Thats why they persist in trying to know you. They are actually showing a selfish nature..
It's a constant fight with a person like this, and in the end they make you appear bad.
People who have children need to accept that women have a right to want children when they want them and not before. It's not about being a bad person or not being good mother material..We are not always ready to be mommie's just because we are women.

Just my opinion...

Your profile focuses mainly on what you don't want, the law of attraction says you will attract what you focus on and what you think about.

So maybe adjust your profile to focus on what you do want...

For Example:
negative->
I hate hunters, smokers, drug addicts, weirdos .................
positive-> I like/love a peaceful, clean cut man who is health conscious, motivated and driven.......

And for the kid thing, maybe something like this:
I am enjoying the freedom of not being tied down by children and prefer my match to have that same freedom.


just my opinion

You would think people would appreciate your honesty and move on to someone who would be a better fit so to speak, but that is not the case. It is almost as though they are resentful.

Because men don't read profiles and your No kids is at the end. Your profile is long- they wont' get to the bottom. So who cares? Just don't reply and move on. I state you need to be athletic and men who are extremely overweight write to me. I just delete. simple as that.

OP-

They respond because you are pretty. Now, since there is not a filter for the kids thing,I say put it in your interests- I am interested in men with no kids- but put it at the top.
It may suck for them and you may miss a nice guy or two, but it eliminates the problem.

Don't know if you're closed-minded, but you're definitely unrealistic. Any man with any sex drive whatsoever who didn't resort solely to masturbation all through his 20s and 30s is sure to have fathered kids.

I know why you don't want kids though: YOU want to be the sole object of his affections, and that's fine. I read your profile and find you a moderate like me. I like you. Too bad we live 3,000 miles apart!

Maybe you've heard of free choice, birth control and the intelligence to apply both as required.

You and you're psychic powers are really on a roll eh?

______________________________________________
OP - some people don't read. Some people don't care even if they do read. Some people only see you as a solution to their needs regardless of what you want and take it hard and personal when you're as good as your word. I'm sure you know this.

Focus on what and who you want
