irc333 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Okay, it's great, you just LOVE your children to death we GET it....honestly, it's a given you think you're kids are great. By why relentlessly talk about them in your dating profile ON and ON and ON "they are my reason for living, they come first, etc etc etc" I don't dislike kids by any means (for the record)...but what's the deal here? Are they trying to turn off men?
ImperfectionisBeauty Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I don't date guys with kids anymore for this exact reason... I want to come first or close to

Are they trying to turn off men? I guess she is trying to impress the men reading her profile with how much she loves her kids. I do the same thing on mine when I talk about how much I love my cat and that Mr. Picklestien is my number #1 that always comes first and I will never love a woman as much as him. 1
amaysngrace Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I guess it's a way to establish priorities. If a guy didn't understand where I was coming from or was turned-off by that it'd be a good thing IMO. Although I think that's pretty much understood. I don't know why someone would need to clarify something that pretty much goes without saying. 1
Casablanca Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 I think it is just to weed out those who don't want to date someone with kids or are on the fence. They probably want someone who will be enthusiastic about them having kids 2

Are they trying to turn off men? I can't stand that either. Just say "I have kids" and be done with it. Why do people have to make a bid deal out of everything? I think that they are trying to say that you will come second to the kids. But I get the sinking feeling that if you did start to date these people you would find that they would be the type who either: A: totally spoil the kids B: mainly ignore the kids I just can't see people who make such a big deal having a healthy relationship with their kids.
soccerrprp Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 To keep the guys who have little or no interest in making someone else's children a priority away...heck, i'm a single father with two young children and that is one of the first things I highlight on my profile. Nothing wrong with that. If you don't want to deal with my children at any point in the relationship, take a hike! I am also clear that my personal life is also VERY important. I will make the time for the right woman to make certain that she is not neglected and overshadowed by my commitment to my children. 2
