Never married & no kids
Posted: 8/31/2008 8:19:50 AM
Well I am in the same boat as most of you. I am still single with no children. It's not a bad thing....I just haven't found that genuine person yet. I chose to concentrate on school and work first before finding someone to settle down with.

For me, it would be better for me to find someone who has never been married and has no children. It would just be easier. I tried dating the divorced with children men and it just did not work out. The hard part is finding those never been married types my age in my area. Maybe I need to move! Just kidding. I am not giving up, my guy is out there somewhere

I myself fall into this category!Why? Simply because I chose to pursue a career first and than possibly find that person to settle with. I am also a firm believer in you have to choose wisely with whom you settle with. Today I feel that divorce is just too easy and people do not try hard enough to make their marriages work. If I am going to be married for a life time.....I really have to like the person I am marrying

Time or Money?
Posted: 7/6/2006 10:28:16 PM
I agree that their can be a healthy balance. Just think, being apart for longer periods of time will make the time together more special and enjoyable! As for me it would be fine because I am not one to be with my significant other 24/7 I need to have my space. I can see where this would definitely happen with cost of living and significant others working as well to make ends meet.

It is very common where I live in San Joaquin County here in California. Just about everyone is a dual income household. Unfortunately cost of living has increased dramatically due to the town becoming a "bedroom community" of the Bay Area. It's pretty amazing that the median price of a home is now valued at 550K.

I think the sacrifice definitely could be made because it will pay off in the long run. Everyone enjoys being able to partake in the finer things in life

Ok, I thought I would answer this myself. I am to over 30, 35 to be exact and never been married with no children. I chose to approach life a little differently. Instead of finding someone to marry and settle down with right away, I chose to concentrate on my career and get where I need to be today.

Now I am to the point where I am thinking of settling down and finding someone to eventually marry. Unfortunately, I have found that it is getting harder because my age group seems to consist of divorcees with children (some not wanting to have anymore children).

Personally, it may sound selfish but I prefer to find someone that has never been married and has no children. I prefer to have my own family rather than a ready made one.

However, I would not totally rule out someone with kids, only if they are willing to give me my own as well

“Insert Foot in mouth” confessions
Posted: 1/4/2006 2:14:12 PM
Afew years ago me and one of my best male friends were out with an acquaintance having ice cream. My friend is an airline pilot and we were talking about him flying airplanes. For some reason I had made a comment during our conversation stating "Ooh, can I come in your****it?" Within seconds I realized how that sounded and we are started laughing uncontrolably.

so, why are you still single?
Posted: 12/22/2005 12:46:25 PM
I get that same question on a regular basis. The simple answer for me is that I have not found the right person to spend the rest of my life with. I feel that if I find Mr. Right than I would hope that our relationship would grow and evolve into a marriage. Heck, if I marry a guy I have to like him if I plan on spending the rest of my life with him! Marriage to me is forever; not the easiness of divorce when something goes wrong. I refuse to settle for just anyone!

Why Don't They Last?

[Women are more independant, today.]

I would definitely have to disagree with you on this...in my case anyway. I am a very independent woman and feel that I have a lot to offer in a relationship. My personal opionion of dating people on line is that people are always trying to find something better than giving a person a chance. It is my true belief that if you choose to meet someone than give that person a chance before moving on to the next profile!

Can Relationships survive without a healthy sex life?

Definitely not.....intimacy is a huge part of a relationship along with communication.

Petite or not petite...WOMEN FROM STATES HELP!
Posted: 7/4/2005 9:05:52 PM
Variot-

No I do not think it would be shallow of you to put in your profile that you prefer petite women. If it is your preference than go with it. It would be kind of strange for me to date someone shorter than myself! (I am only 5'2!) I know we all like to think that we should should accept people for who they are not just rely on their physical appearance; however, we have to be attracted to them also! Good luck.

Women w/ Short Hair
Posted: 7/1/2005 8:52:13 PM
Hi Ken,

I personally like my hair short and it does not make me any less sexy or womanly! I have had a few people comment to me that I should grow my hair longer but their opinion did not matter to me because I am confident and secure with myself. If a man cannot accept me for the way that I am than he is not worth my time!
