Get a clue. You thought she was hot. So did someone else, so he boinked her. And now she has a kid. Make sense?
LOL, I tried to rep you but have to spread the love... this is funny. I can totally see your POV. Realistically there isn't anything wrong with being 30-something and not wanting a woman with kids but the older you get the pickin's get a whole heck of a lot slimmer and you know, some of those women who had kids while they were young would have older kids by now and the OP may be missing out on a possible opportunity.

There are plenty of single woman who ARE 30-something and never been married OR had kids but then you kind of have to wonder... is something wrong with them? LOL (and before anyone gets hurt feelings by what I just said, I was speaking figuratively, not literally)

You need to stop hanging out where the ghetto chicks hang out.

whatever happened to loving the person instead of just settling for the best you can get -- man you young folks are all screwed up-- maybe I am just getting old and old fashioned--- if this guy is going to rule out some gal because she has kids.... well he will be a one lonesome sob his entire life

For a while I felt like I was surrounded by single mommies with kids. It was a nightmare. Every girl I'd meet had orders of magnitude more baggage than I did... and don't get me started on their sense of entitlement.

I moved to a different part of town, started meeting different types of people, quit online dating, and that problem went away.

It's funny, it seems like most of my friends (especially female) who are all hitting their late 20's with me now have been gradually changing their tune when it comes to compromising on a certain attribute to gain the whole package.

At 22/23, it was "I won't settle for someone who doesn't have the education/background/height/eye color/zodiac sign/physique/national origin/etc."

At 27/28, it's "I just want someone who makes me happy, is sincere, and I can count on."

To be fair, not every single mom has "more baggage" other than just having a kid. I've met plenty who are perfectly stable, they just want to date again.

i'm not seeing how that adds any 'fairness' to the discussion. the kid is the only baggage i had in mind.

if you're talking about additional baggage a person might have, like drugs, finances, stress, mental neuroses, etc., then that's just the gravy on top.

I know right??!!! I have the SAME problem!

Every guy I meet has kids - I can't believe it!! If they think I'm going to fall for dating them they've got another thing coming! I know they just want someone to cook, clean and do laundry and I'm NOT falling for it!!

Oh wait ... it's common for men in my age range to have kids, and women in your age range...

Wow, who would've thought.

*rolls eyes*

Many men over 35 have children too. All those women with children had to have them with someone, right? Also since women outnumber men getting degrees nowadays the "women with children are not educated" argument is a little outdated.
