I'm on this other dating website and I've never been married with no kids. This woman responds to my message with "dating someone who has never been married or had kids would be too much of a cultural difference from my life for a long-term relationship."
OK, I do appreciate her viewpoint to some degree. Raising kids is the most challenging thing to do in this world, but her kids are gown up, out of the house. So now not having a history of divorces is now a liability in the dating scene? Is single with no kids a big red flag from a women's perspective?
The no kids issue is not to me.
Depending on age, the never married part might be a light red flag as I would assume it meant the person had a fear of commitment.
I might find out I'm wrong -- maybe they had a 26-year live-in, like-married relationship or something--but that's what I would initially think.
In other words, she wants what is past and gone, does not accept the changes that have occurred, and does not want to be intellectually challenged. Sounds like you dodged a bullet. Count your lucky stars!
People who have had children don't always understand partnership. The Bible says cling to your wife. Not your mom you kids your dad. It's good advice.
Not sure I understand quoting from a book of fairy tales. What does Mother Goose have to say?
You're really quoting the bible for all of us? Do you know which site you are on?
