There's nothing wrong with not wanting to date a man who has kids and especially one who is in recovery for an addiction (been there, done that, wouldn't do it again).

However, calling these men bottom of the barrel losers who bring nothing (and posting his profile) is just nasty, mean and unnecessary. You may think he's worthless because he has "made bad choices." The thing is, just from his profile I see good choices he has made. He may not have a college degree but he has a skilled job and a car, he obviously takes care of his kid and he made the choice to get help with his addiction. Not to mention, he is honest and upfront about it. Date him or don't date him, but please don't trash him and say he brings NOTHING to the table.

I really admire the dedication that it takes to become a Doc and I find that to be a very desirable quality in a woman. Unfortunately, I'm always thinking of the other part of being a Doc and having to deal with sick people, needles, fecies and other less than desireable thoughts. The shear volume of things you could catch is a little overwhelming.

Don't judge all women by the OP. Not all are self-entitled brats.

Not because of "standards" youre allowed those everyone has them but to get angry that some person would even have the nerve to ask you out and that they should know their place is so snobby and off putting..

Youre decent looking and have a degree congrats so do tons of other people..why are you so special?

A little humility goes along way..Maybe women find arrogance and cockiness attractive in the opposite sex but most men dont..
I don't know. There are a lot of women who think they are something special when they accomplish anything, even something lots of other people do. I had a friend that got a promotion, not as a boss, just a higher level, but she refused to hang out with me or others at my level anymore. Our male superiors went to lunch with us, no problem. But certain women get weird power trips, I've seen it a lot. They become professional snobs and very unpleasant and often cheap too, guarding and flaunting their stacks of accomplishments and cash. LOL, funny, get some cats, you're gonna need 'em.

I mentioned that before. I think the guy is trying to be honest with her I think thats a rare thing in people these days.

It really is..

I understand if you are sucessful and not wanting to date a guy with no ambition who has no job nor does he plan to im not saying date anyone but i think online datign has made it to where people are no longer people with distinct personalities charisma etc people are now just numbers physically,what they make, education etc and now people are obsessed with a person "matching up" with their numbers and if a person lacks in a certain area they feel that pesron is beneath them.

You cant predict who youre gonna fall in love with so i think when you meet people outside you may make your standards less strict and fall i love with a person not a statistic online..

I agree..ive seen it with male friends of mine as well who reach a certain level and feel like they have to put a facade on once they get there and look down on people they are friends with who arent as sucessful..

Get over yourself..
