| | Posting pictures of your childen on your profilePage 1 of 3 (1, 2, 3) | | I'm a single parent, but there is no way in hell that I'm going to post pictures of my daughter on my dating profile. Not my niece or nephew either. I think a simple, "I'm good with children" would work instead of a picture. When a man messages me and I see children on his profile it makes me think that he is unaware of all the perverts that are out there or he just doesn't care. I don't know. Maybe I'm putting too much thought into the subject. | |

Posted: 4/28/2012 8:07:59 PM | | I agree with you! It also makes me think that hes trying to get sympathy from single moms or women who love children, playing the "SadDad" card. Along with all the pervs, Very uncool. | |

Posted: 4/29/2012 5:27:09 AM | OP: I concur. I've chastised men (who've contacted me) for doing this. They're so damned stupid and careless...and brazen about it in their constant justification of it.
They are to be ignored. | |

Posted: 4/29/2012 8:47:32 AM | | I agree totally with all the above. I find it odd that people would consider posting pic's of their kids (or worse) other people's kids on their profile's. The way I see it is this: This is a dating site for adults. Adults who can give their permission for their image displayed. If men or women want people to know they "come as a package", then mentioning you have kids should absolutely suffice at this stage. | |

Posted: 4/29/2012 9:06:26 AM | | This subject has been done a million times already. It comes down to opinions and there is no right or wrong answer. Frankly, it is not your decision to make for other people who do so. I personally see no harm in it. I do, however, have a problem with people posting pictures of kids that are NOT even theirs. I think that is extremely odd and not right. | |

Posted: 4/29/2012 11:26:16 AM | | It all comes down to marketing..just like when people post pics of animals..they are trying to show that they are safe to be around considering that most of the dating scene consists of single parents...political people use this all the time | |

Posted: 4/29/2012 11:44:39 AM | | I think parents should think about the ramifications of a child being seen on a dating sight by his or her peers. I was a school teacher for 20 years and I know first hand that children can sometimes be cruel. The parent that posts their childs picture could be setting them up for ridicule and embarrassment from his or her schoolmates. What child wants to be known as the kid that is on plentyoffish.com? | |

Posted: 4/29/2012 2:42:04 PM | | ^^It's not that unlikely. My kid told me it's common practice for teens to set up fake dating profiles on free sites and then laugh at all the "losers" that contact them. | |

Posted: 4/29/2012 10:17:30 PM | I think its a little strange when ppl do it, but I dont think its ''wrong''. when I see babies or toddlers I think oh cute. But when they are older kids, I think hmmm a liitle strange. I just feel weird about putting pics up of my kid, as he has no say in it I dont feel right doing it.
I agree, personal choice. | |

Posted: 4/30/2012 7:35:50 AM | I agree....
Siks6 is back again...UGH. Dude we all know you think it's ok to have your kid on here. Whatever, that's your opinion. However it's rude to ridicule every person that doesn't agree with you. If you keep reading, I'm sure that most agree with the OP.
RIPTIDE: I wasn't questioning his ability to parent. Not at all. Not my style. | |

Posted: 5/1/2012 5:44:00 PM | Oh my gosh, I couldn't agree with the original post more.
Like sure, it's cute to see pictures of father/mother and child, but there are so many safety issues with it.
Not only that, but another concern of mine is consent to even upload the picture.
I know if you've got a child who is too young to make that decision, it's the parents call, but in that case, it would just be better not to post the picture.
Not only that, but it could also cause a lot of issues with former partners.
I would be extremely upset if I was with someone, had a child with him, and he uploaded a photo of himself and our child on the internet, especially if I had no knowledge of it.
I would be concerned for the safety of my child.
But, it can also be a way to attract the type of person you're looking for.
Some people are only seeking a single parent.
Having a photo up of you and your child can also be a lazy way people determine if you're a parent or not. | |

Posted: 5/1/2012 10:10:43 PM | | I find it creepy when men pose with little kids even more creepier when they have their shirt off...nasty,,eitherway,its a safety issue,while I agree that creepers can be often times be family and friends while we don't even know it..its still a no~no in my book! | |

Posted: 5/2/2012 10:28:04 AM | | I happen to agree with VeeDub.....my son is my life I am a package deal & you want me you take him too so what Ipost a pic of us together it's just showing I MEAN business that it's both or nothin and about the FaceBook thing....he hit the nail onthe head there I'd say 90% of my friends have pics of their kids on fb my whole fb is about my son. It doesnt matter if you post a pic or not you're still takin a chance on some sick-o meeting your child....it's called common sense & parental instinct people.....1st off who meets someone on a dating site and IMMEDIATELY introduces them to your child?????? NOT I!!!! I wannna know someone myself before they get to know my child the first sign of ANYthing that's not right or outta whack it's hit the road jack.....use your head it's not like you're puttin naked pics out there of your child you're showing you love your child and will settle for nothing less than someone who will accept them as well....relax....besides if you're introducing your child to someone you just met then I'd say you should think twice about if YOU'RE even ready to be dating yet cuz I'm guessing that becoming an immediate father or mother is not what these ppl are looking for!!! JUST SAYIN!!! | |

Posted: 5/2/2012 12:20:02 PM | VeeDub:
People are never going to agree. Lets all just agree to disagree and STFU instead! :D
Did anyone take a hint from that? Why are you people still posting here? This man is completely right. | |

Posted: 5/2/2012 1:04:14 PM | Many people think of their kids as a dating tool. I can only imagine what their ex wife/ex husband thinks of having pics of their own children here.
For me, I do not respond to a message if I see a picture of a child. Period.
I feel so strongly about this that I added a blurb about it on my profile. | |

Posted: 5/2/2012 2:39:07 PM | Kids in pics is a big no-no on any dating site. It *better be* mentioned in your description that you have kids, but no pictures of them regardless of their age.
If they want to see pics of your kids, wait until 3rd or 4th date. If they want to meet the kids, you BETTER make sure this is a serious relationship, or else just say no. | |
