But the thing is they ARE like me, never married and childless. If they were richer, or younger or something else then I could say they aren't the same but they are.

But of course Match costs money. That's just my experience in my city though.
Opposite experience in 2 different states. (And POF is Free)

Met my GF off POF last May.

Just met her Family over Christmas...

I'm really not surprised your single. Dads should stay away from you, you'd intoxicate their kids with your negativity and bitterness

Seriously...no offense, but you have issues. There is a LOT more to a person than never married and childless. Do your personalities mesh well together, do you have common interests, are you physically attracted to one another? If this is the only way by which you measure compatibility than no wonder you are striking out all over the place. Okay, you want someone never married and childless but what are you willing to put up with to get that? Look at your taco man...yeah he meets your basic criteria but the guy lives with his mom and is too shy to even ask you out on a date. What possible redeeming qualities does this guy have besides that he's never been married and doesn't have any kids?

I just don't get you. You act like that's the only thing that matters in finding a relationship.

eHarmony and Match are the only two pay sites I have used. I had excellent success with eH. I had less success with Match, but still significantly more with it than I had with free sites like PoF and OKC.

With the free sites I almost never got dates, and when I did they weren't very high quality, let's say. With Match, I got quality dates reasonably consistently if I kept working hard, plugging away at it. With eHarmony I had so many dates it was hard to find time to schedule them all (let alone to keep up with the site), and many of them were high quality.

I'm a man. With many of the women I've talked to, their experience has been the opposite, meaning they find fewer dates on eHarmony and more on Match and the free sites. I strongly suspect this has to do with differences in ratios of male-to-female users between the sites. eHarmony has been reported to be the only dating site with more women than men, which would explain why it was the best for me and the worst for the ladies. This probably differs by place, age, and other demographic, though.

quite frankly, I don't know why single childless women who do not date single dads are being harshly criticized and attacked.

If I were a single mother, I rather somebody tell me beforehand that my single mother status is a deal breaker, better than using me then dump me. Never imagined being honest carries such a big risk.

Idon'tdateyou makes excellent point. She states very clearly "No dads" on her profile and that is her standard. What is so wrong with it? Everybody has standard. A lot of single dads who had messy sexual history and their kids is the result of their irresposible past sexual history. I know a single father who has six children from five different women, but when a single childless woman refuse to date him, he immediately accused her of being shallow. That is not fair either.

Everybody has standard, some women are okay with single fathers, some women cannot. The most important thing is to keep real and being honest. Just like somebody prefer to date white women, somebody prefer to date black or asian women, what is wrong with it?
