Also don't forget those crazy exes calling just because or getting him out of bed because one of kids is in er or she just won't go away n get her own life. And he will never see it like that he will say well she is mother of my child/ kids. Well in tht case u guys need to get back together n try consueling. The child n child mother always come first n I do want to n won't compete with that. Sorry that I'm going to sound selfish now but before having my own kids I want guy all for myself

I'm not against dating a man with kids but I recently received a message from a man who is a full time dad, living on benefits. He'd filled in his Ideal First Date with, "Meet for drinks (you're paying)"

I don't like to ignore people who have taken the time to mail me so we had a short conversation before I told him I wasn't interested in dating an unemployed, full time dad (I wasn't rude). He was very offended and told me he was sick of the stuck up, judgemental woman on this site. Apparently we're all the same!

I have to agree with Coffee with this one. I am a atheist but every church going believer with internet access contacts me. They dont read profiles just look at the pictures. It is like being in pre school.... the words dont mean anything but arent the pictures lovely.

Come ON Op. No one really gives a DAMN on here what a woman says she wants/likes/is looking for.
Everyone just wants a ****.
I just described about 80% of POF population

So your gonna have to learn to deal with it. I specifically state somewhere on my mess of a profile I dont really believe in long distance relationships, yet I've received messages from girls in Russia, and in Thailand, and in Nova Scotia lol. Not talking about forums users here, just regular messages.

No no one reads what u write just today I got MSG from totally cute guy but one of his requirements was for vir to be n I quote very very sexual n it's funny bc in my profile I stated I am not looking for bed budy n want to take my time to get to know the person before sex I need more than just connection so yeah I guess he did not read that part. I have same problems getting MSG for guys looking for cute ass to pound they do not read not most of POF population

Kathy - you mentioned that you'd accept children, if the fathers were widowed men. Divorced men will think they have a shot. (I'm curious as to why you'd not accept a divorcee's children, but you would of a widower's children. )

Both men are women are kind of slow when it comes to being respectful enough to read a profile before messaging. if a man messages me without reading my profile I just delete the message. Especially If I have nothing in common with them and there is no attraction

Probably because there wouldn't be any ex-wife drama.

It seems that as soon as you mention something you *don't* want, you get deluged with replies from people with exactly the opposite desires. Don't want kids - replies from fathers. Don't want sex exclusively - replies from guys uninterested in anything else. Don't want idiots - replies from men several sandwiches short of a picnic. Don't want unhygenic characters - replies from guys for whom washing is something done under duress once a year. It seems people sometimes don't read things properly and only see the bits that interest them. So the OP's "not interested in dating someone with kids" gets read as: "interested in someone with kids". Depressing, but true.

well, OP, if you WANT to meet men w/ facial hair, say you DONT like it on your profile........
Just watch, they'll all come running out of the woodwork, guaranteed!

PS-I dont know though if saying you 'dont want a relationship' will have the same effect and bring on all the loyal hearted, so, do keep in mind that would constitute an advanced level experiment!

If you are planning on adopting when you're married later, what's the difference in meeting his children when you become engaged. Just tell him you want to wait until you know he is the one before you meet them. Case solved.

It is possible that they want you to feel a science of regret, being that you and others judge too quickly ........

Perhaps they feel like you may be a good match regardless of the presence of kids in their lives. Not that you'd be a good mother to them, but maybe they see you as someone whom they want to spend time with as a person first... Perhaps they are just hoping that their package deal may not appear so bad if you enjoy their company? :)

Uh, just for the record, any decent father or mother would WANT to know if their kid was in the E.R. Calling on that occasion doesn't qualify the ex as "crazy."

Not crazy, and usually required in custody agreements.

Thats true. I dont date or have interest in black men or men with kids either but thats all that seems to message me. I have to be rude they give me no choice by not reading my profile. Just delete the messages or snap at them lol That should leave them alone

You have the option of ignoring the messages from men with children or sending them a simple, "no thanks, but good luck to you." message.

I will date men with older teenage or adult children, but I do not want to date anyone with elementary aged children either, OP. There have been guys with a small children who are convinced we would be perfect for each other in spite of telling them I am not interested several times. Those are the ones I find scary...the ones who fixate on some fantasy and cannot take NO for an answer.

I'm so with you on this one, I have no kids either and would rather date a man who don't have any. Don't wanna deal with the baby mama drama.

How come I got messages from fat ugly women when I specifically stated in my profile that I only want slim, good looking ones? Frigging weird...

well by the time one is your age, they have most often all had children, guess that leaves you out of the dating world. As there are very few people who have had absolutely no children ever by the time they hit their 40s.

...because there is not a lot to choose from. Where I live, if a man said that they didn't want to date mothers, they might as well turn homosexual.

Either they didn't read your profile or just don't ever want to give up hope. You have to remember you are on a dating site...Some men just want to date. Sometimes it's nice just to give the guy a chance.....Sometimes
