So before you contact someone you don't want to know whether or not they are parents?
Let's analyse her paragraph:
"I have a good life and am independent." Positive outlook and not looking for a crutch.
"One child who is (15) yrs. old, honor student" Sounds like she is doing something right - child is an honour student
"and has a wonderful father in his life." Oooooo! On good terms with her ex (!!) How freakin' REFRESHING is that!
"We share 50-50." So not one of those hideous creatures that can't share her child with the ex. Double bonus.
"Anyone in my life would be a part of my son's life too and therefore needs to be an excellent role model." Looking for only decent role-model guys to expose her son to. Again, I don't see this as a negative.
Good points. I'd like to hear Ron's views on this since he posted the profile snippet.
My only assumptions are the fact that she's a single mother period or that she's putting expectations about her child on a dating profile.

Saying her and her son come as a package is fine but stating that is 15 and a honor roll student is unnecessary.

Let's analyse her paragraph:
"I have a good life and am independent." Positive outlook and not looking for a crutch.I don't need a man, and I'm not sure if I'm trying to convince YOU that or myself....
"One child who is (15) yrs. old, honor student" Sounds like she is doing something right - child is an honour studentLook what I made!or My child can do no wrong, look luck fighting for attention with him
"and has a wonderful father in his life." Oooooo! On good terms with her ex (!!) How freakin' REFRESHING is that! Will be constantly compared to his father and thus have a high bar set to reach for as a potential step-parent, even though there's a chance I have zero parenting experience.
"We share 50-50." So not one of those hideous creatures that can't share her child with the ex. Double bonus.I don't see this as a benefit or a negative, it's irrelevant.
"Anyone in my life would be a part of my son's life too and therefore needs to be an excellent role model." Looking for only decent role-model guys to expose her son to. Again, I don't see this as a negative. Again, setting a high expectation. You're saying not only do you have to work to win ME over, but you have to win my kid over who is going to hate you since in his eyes you'll be trying to replace his father, and at 15 I'm sure he's going to feel some animosity knowing you're boning his mom and there's nothing he can do about it. So when mom goes to her 15 year old son going through puberty for his approval on you, why would this kid give you the thumbs up? Maybe you're good with kids, maybe you're not, maybe you don't have a lot of experience with teenagers. That doesn't make you a bad person, but it's a tough hill to climb. It's easier to click a mouse to the next profile.
Men don't think that way when reading those words. I put in bold what I would think, and some other men MAY think as well, but NOT ALL men this this way

Good points as well cdubs. I think this matters more to men who don't have kids, but they should probably date childless women anyway. In my opinion, people who have kids should date each other since they can relate on that level.
Didn't you say you went bald? Can't see how a man with male pattern baldness can be so physically attractive.
One can probably shave it all off so it seems like baldness by choice. I have a friend who shaved his head by choice since his late teens and is always beating them away with a stick. Women always want to rub his head too. Ironically before he started shaving he wasn't getting as much attention, and he had a full head of hair.
