[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can filter profiles and filter out the guys who don't want to date women with children. Then you aren't wasting your time up front.[/quote]

I trued - no option for that on match[/quote]

Are you sure? There used to be something in the more advanced search settings- you can filter by height, race, etc. Children were included there too.[/quote]

There is, on match, a "wants kids" option and a "doesn't want kids" option.  I saw a LOT of women who had "I have kids" and "I don't want any more" both checked.

I was married to a single mother, and I would never do that again.  Not out of baseless prejudice, but out of first hand experience.  The "kid is my world" attitude is real and perhaps appropriate, but being third in the pecking order and having no voice in parenting got really really old.  Someone else's problem.  I see more than my share of "my kid comes first and if you don't like it, there's the door"...ok, thanks I'm leaving.

I filtered for "has no kids" and "wants kids".  I do like kids, am remarried, and expecting.  If I somehow wound up a single father (unimaginable to me except if I were a widower), I'd consider a single mom, but then I wouldn't be dealing with someone constantly trying to pull the "I'm a  parent" trump card.
