At 30 guess as I keep getting older I'm just going to have to accept the fact that a non insignificant amount of women have a kid or two.

I'm not entirely against the idea but I'm pretty hesitant, especially when you're a few dates in and they're like "oh by the way, I have a kid!". I'd rather know something like that going in.

They do that because throwing it out there on the first date is weird, unless the conversation steers that way. They're doing a normal thing.

Look, if you're 30 and haven't yet managed to cuff yourself to that gorgeous, prime, hot-body who shares your interests and isn't in an unreasonable amount of debt (for whatever reason) it's time to realize that perhaps your princess with the body of Mia Khalifa, an MBA, and her own condo has probably managed to find a man who meets her criteria by now. Good news though: as you get older, members of your cohort will start to come back on the market, having realized that getting married in their early 20s was a mistake. They may come back with kids though.

You may have to be willing to compromise on one or more of these areas:
- Doesn't work out/fat
- Already has kids
- Already has picked out names for kids
- Chihuahua ownership
- Horse ownership
- Grown rear end woman who really loves Disney
- Significant debt
- Primary income is Scentsy
- Really, really in to Tarot/astrology/The Secret

Anyway, good luck out there, I'm v. happy in my forever relationship that cannot ever possibly fall apart or lose luster with a woman who makes more than I do and doesn't want kids.

Idk, saving something that is a complete deal breaker for a lot of people for the third date is kinda lovely. Don’t waste my time.

You can always just ask on the first date if it is that big an issue for you. I'm sure the women would prefer to find out early too, rather than you ghosting them or abruptly severing after the 3rd date.

This is no goddamn lie. My brother had a woman shacking up with him for a few years that was a chihuahua lady, had two. Now he refuses to get a normal size dog and still posts chihuahua memes on facebook because he was exposed for too long and is now an even more broken person than before.


Still just looking for a stoner chick. We have one here at work, but she's 20ish. I don't have the energy for someone that young anymore.

Do first dates at a bar with elevated barstools and get them to like you before you go take a piss and reveal your actual height. Worked for me(married a chick that's 5'10").

Also either date women with kids already or stop expecting a woman to miraculously be single at 30 and not as broken as you are

make's u think

After my first divorce when I went back into the dating scene at 32, I didn’t tell people I was divorced until halfway through the first date depending if things were going good or not. It was just an instant black label for some people to shut me off because they thought I was damaged goods.

However, in a sort of double standard, one girl told me after the first date that she had two kids and that was an instant date killer for me.

Kids are loving forever, a divorce isn’t...especially since I didn’t have kids in my divorce that I’m tied to.

I don't drink, and even though I don't care if others do, it tends to make bars weird for that reason.

Also those women are out there, but in the last few years they have better judgement than to go out with me more than a couple times :v:

Everyone I was dating in my 20s social circle was baby crazy so I jumped up 10 years to divorcees and it worked out great. Most of the child raising part was over so it was just going to a few school things and then moving him to college.

Not wanting kids is a hard stop for me, and compromising on major things like that tends to end badly for everyone involved. I'd rather stay single than be in a bad relationship.

E: not to imply that kids are bad for everyone, but they're not for me.

I keep considering this, but the part that makes me hesitate is the risk of getting that condition where it feels like you got kicked in the nuts when you nut. I know it's probably a tiny risk, but it's still enough to give me pause.

Plus I've gotten down with a woman once in the last four years, so it's not like there's an urgent need for the snip.
