actually that was pretty good but are people really that dumb?

Especially the one about online dating sites and not saying she has kids....I mean, I wonder what goes through their minds when they openly lie like that. Do they expect the guy, after a few dates and finds out she does have kids to say "oh, that's ok, I don't mind that you lied to me"? The first thought through my mind would be: ok, what ELSE did she lie about?

Then there's the one: the younger guy asked me out but I bet he has never changed a diaper, what do we have in common? Well, once again, she's so into being MOM that's the only thing she thinks that matters when choosing a date......Hello? the guy isn't dating your kids, he's dating YOU and if the ONLY qualities you have revolve around your kids, good luck with that......

I tell you one thing: I will NEVER date or even respond to a woman's profile who says not only does she have kids, but her whole world revolves around them.....that tells me that when or if we actually go out, I'm going to hear about bobby's skating, betsy's gymnastics, bobby's math score, betsy's girlguides camping trip.....yeah ok, that sounds like fun....NOT

No, never been but I have been out with mom's who think like this. After all the stories about the kids (good and bad) I then ask: but what about YOU...and I get a blank deer in the headlights look.....the next words out of my mouth are: Check please......

You read all kinds of stories about this from married men. Once women seem to have children they stop being "women" and are now "moms".

The worst is when you see a picture of a woman and say, her 22 yr old daughter and you (I) think: nevermind you, I'd like to "hit" your daughter lol.....
