Get what I'm trying to say...:ohwell:

Absolutely. They would never share that "first" excitement - first child, first home, first wedding, first honeymoon (not in that order). There would always be another woman who gave that to him.

I probably would. That's why I don't think I could do online. I'm too judgemental and I'll pick it all apart. :lol:

Right because who doesn't want a guy with a weird chin and screwed up teeth who dresses like a hobo and still lives with his mother? :yay:

Another friend of mine is on there and his photo makes him look like unapproachable intimidating Biff Malibu, which could not be further from who he is. It's a great shot and he's handsome as hell but he's going to attract Barbie Dingbat and turn off the kind of women he really likes.
:mad:

Oh my.... I wasn't thinking ALL of those things would be attributed to ONE guy.... but when you put it that way...:lol:

Please. I beg you. No more pictures of you with your kids. Or worse, pictures of JUST your kids.

.

See, I didn't mind that at all. :shrug: Makes them seem less douchebaggy.

Doesn't matter anymore anyway, I reluctantly signed up for an awful dating sight and found an awesome man with awesome kids. :dye: My mind has been changed about online dating.

It has the opposite effect on me but I'm at a different stage in my life than you are. I don't want to be hampered by anyone's kids, plus I'm not interested in their family man side because I won't be needing that. :jet:

:yay:
But see... this is why all men with kids should NOT heed the advice you gave in your first post. You really do need to know when a guy's focus IS his kids and that he WILL be bringing them along on dates and you WILL be expected to be a part of their lives too because he needs women like you to not wink if that really is going to be an issue.

You'll need to take this into consideration when you are helping guys construct their profiles... you'd rather know you two are on the same page before you 'wink' and so would he...:yay:

Yeah, but if he is good with kids there is a side of him that carries over into the boyfriend/girlfriend side. Probably a whole lot less likely to do stupid things to piss you off, not as self-centered as a single guy.

This is so not true. :coffee: This is horse shiit. :coffee:

I read her post as saying she is at a point in life where she wants to date a man not a man and his kids. If she goes away for a weekend she doesn't expect to need to book more than one room so the kids have a room too. If he's coming over for movie night and steaks on the grill she doesn't expect to have to pick a family oriented movie and pick up a pack of hotdogs for the grill too. If she wants to make a booty call she doesn't expect to have to wait for him to find a sitter first, etc.
 
I'm giggling at the memory of the time a certain forumite would have been happy to have had a current picture to have worked with so she would have known the blind date she was going to meet didn't have any teefs. :biggrin:

Oh I completely agree - truth in advertising. :yay: BUT! Those sites are open to the masses and anyone in the world could be looking at your profile. I may be jaded and cynical because I've been doing this forum thing for so long, but it doesn't seem like a good idea to post pics of your cutie pie pre-teen daughter on your online dating profile.

Kids are a turnoff for *me*, but it also shows poor judgment. They can say they have kids at home and leave it at that.
