Devon93 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I know I don't want kids and therefore I won't date a woman who has kids from a previous relationship. I don't want the responsibility of helping her raise her kids. Do women lose respect for guys who pass over them as datibg candidates because they have kids or do they respect that he is honest with himself about how much responsibility he can handle?

CautiouslyOptimistic Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I can only speak for myself, but respect. Also, respect if you DO want to be a step-dad . It is perfectly understandable to me that someone would not want to be a step-parent. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I would respect your honesty. It is entirely your decision if you want/don’t want to date a woman with a child. The good news is... there are lots of women who have not had children. You just have to find the right one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Interstellar Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 What if she looks like Amber Heard? All kidding aside, I won’t date anyone with kids because I don’t have one and I can find one with no kids and no other baggage. Only date women with kid/s if you have the patience of a saint. It’s hard enough raising your own kid. In addition to the fact that those kids aren’t gonna like you because they already have a daddy or mommy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author Devon93 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 I would respect your honesty. It is entirely your decision if you want/don’t want to date a woman with a child. The good news is... there are lots of women who have not had children. You just have to find the right one. Depends on the age group. Lots of women around my age have kids already. That's common. Besides that lots of women want children. Dating a woman with kids is just the same as dating women who want kids. I stay away from the women who either want kids or who claim to be undecided. The undecided ones more often than not end up having kids. It is no surprise that any woman wants. It is a natural mothetly instinct God put in them. So it is only normal that most of the female population wants kids at some point. Are my dating options limited for that reason alone? Yes. Do I accept that? Yes. Even if she was perfect and I was perfect otherwise not being on the same page about kids is a dealbreaker. It is not realistic for her to compromise on a motherly instinct.

Lotsgoingon Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I seriously doubt that the maternal instinct is stronger than the paternal instinct. One of my closest male friends was devastated when his wife announced she didn't want to have kids. You think women are forcing all the men in the world to have kids? Come on now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You are putting words in my mouth. I never said anything about forcing. I never even hinted anything about rape. The maternal instinct is stronger. You ever read about a woman's biological clock and how it kicks in her late 20s? For men it is much later in life. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
