[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was headed toward divorce at age 37, I never in a million years thought women would want to date a man with two kids and two mortgages.

I had no idea how easy it would end up being to meet younger attractive accomplished women as a man who is successful and in shape.[/quote]

Do the women you date understand your financial obligations to your 2 kids and 2 mortgages?  I dated someone for a while until he shared details of his salary and his alimony, child support, and college funding obligations toward his kids.  It didn't take long to figure out that even though he was successful and in shape, he was living paycheck to paycheck for the foreseeable future, and was not husband material.  [/quote]

So, like a true see you next Tuesday, you ended things?[/quote]

Yes. I wanted marriage and biological kids. Breaking up with him freed me up to eventually have those things. [/quote]

Well, at least you own being such a shallow twat.[/quote]

This is exactly why. Women are judged as being shallow if they don’t want to date a man with kids and golddiggers if they care about a man’s finances.

Starting as a teenager, if I didn’t like a guy, I’d always hear “but he’s soooo nice! Poor guy! Give him a chance!” When reality is girls should be taught to be more pragmatic when it comes to choosing a partner, and understand fully what they are getting into if a man has kids/is underemployed/comes from a bad family/etc.

And I say this as someone who was a single mom. When I dated men without kids, I made it clear to them what life with me looked like. If a guy loved traveling, I let him know that I will never be traveling with him and if that was important in a partner, he needed to move on (I was blown away by how many men didn’t understand I couldn’t just leave for a weekend with kids, they’d say “can’t you just hire a sitter?”)[/quote]
