Another reason I’m waiting. I also know I’m an easy target as a very recently divorced woman.

I’ve never dated a man with kids. I would be open to it. But don’t want part of unnecessary drama either.

I’m glad you clarified that.

It looks like she’s giving birth....

Maybe not all but I'd guess 40 is towards the end of the new father scale.


In the process of divorce at 44. Previously, having more children was no longer an option due to ex wife... now assuming the time frame of getting every thing sorted out, I'm looking at mid to late 40's if that would happen.

Don't know if I would have the energy for a new round of little ones at that point. My most likely romantic pool would either be women in their late 30's with a ticking clock or early 40's with kids and not wanting any more.

Got asked by NP if I was done having kids due to possible side-effects of a potential prescription, and got me to thinking about it. I guess I'll keep hope alive for a hot and crazy yoga instructor wife w/fake accent like Alec Baldwin.

The youngest was born in my late 20s. By 40 I was way past the age where I wanted more kids. We should be close to being empty nesters by my late 40s.

Y’all are guys. Most of queens all are just interested in sex not dating. Use hookup apps.

after reading most of this thread, if I was ever single again I would jump.
I’m so set in my ways I would seriously hire a high priced hooker several times a month, and have fun with all my hobbies...geez

I wouldn’t trade my baby for anything, but yeah being 40 with a baby is exhausting. Have kids while you’re young is my general life advice.

I know a guy that got on Tinder but moved his pin to Ukraine and found someone that way. He said it was because of all the reasons listed in this thread. American women overall have too much baggage. He just bought a house here after living in Ukraine for the past 6 months dating his future bride.

I dated my now wife when we were Noth in our late 30s and I got extremely lucky but she is originally from Indonesia, and though she was here for 15 years before we met, she wasn't Americanized with a ton of baggage.

Also accept that even if you are dating someone, she is getting constantly bombarded by men on social media. Eventually one will get her curiosity. She’s not yours, it’s just your turn. So enjoy what you get and move along.




Pretty much this


Numbers favor women way more than men so if you’re on one of these accept the fact she has 10 other of you in her phone.


Sucks bc how can you get exclusive with someone If they have this going on?
Nobody wants to be the psycho who tries to dictate what other person does..... least I don’t.

I dated this chick for 5 months.
Enjoyed it for what it was but it eventually fell through bc she was talking to other dudes to. I just had her attention exclusively for that period.

And yes other people’s kids fricking suck. I don’t like mine about half the time.

I decided to work things out with wife. Makes life so much easier than starting over if you can do it.
At lest my wife’s problems are my problems.

Beware some are psychos.

Back in my dating years (about 15 years ago), I met a girl at a club and she seemed very friendly. We started dating for several weeks. One time we were at a bar, and an overweight girl stood next to her. She would look at me and start giggling all by herself (in ref. to the fat girl). I knew exactly what she was giggling about, but played dumb and pretended I didn't follow. After that night, forget it never called her again. Pathetic.

Met my wife(she found me out) through AOL Instant Messenger in March of 2000. We talked for a year, either through that or on the phone, then met in person at Cowboys(RIP) in Kennesaw, GA the next March and had our first official date on April 14, 2001 at her college dance at Georgia Southwestern University.

April 14th will mark 20 years of being together. This coming Oct.9th will be 17 years married. She is my best friend. And we have a wonderful daughter who will be 6 in June.

That's my story.
