Women, do you have a preference in your partner having grown up with either brothers or sisters?

Do you think it makes a difference in his relations with women?

Something tells me you have a more specific question in mind. Why not just come right out and ask it?

It might make a difference, but I’m an only child so I don’t have a preference about a guy’s sibling situation.

No, but in my family we always joked that my baby brother was great with women because he grew up in the middle of a group of them (myself, my sister and my mother).

But we all know he's actually just a kindly soul to begin with.

To me such things don't matter at all.

I’m an only child and I’ve gotten some weird reactions when I’ve told women I’m an only child. I’m like the last thing my house needed was more mouths to feed and more minds to up.

No. People don't get to pick their birth (or adoptive) families. The relationships he has chosen to have matter more.

Yes, I have a lightweight preference. It hasn’t bubbled up to a must have, but I find that people who were only children or have a giant age gap between siblings have certain traits that can be annoying.

Generally only children suck at sharing, being patient in situations they don’t like and are quick to make a decision without consulting other people. They also tend to be a lot better interacting with people across age groups and are independent. They tend to not be as clingy and do not always need constant communication.

So it depends, but people with siblings can better relate if I have to drop something to deal with my sister.

Guilty on all counts!

Actually, no I don't. I'm just curious what people think. There seems to be two possible views on this, unless the person just doesn't care one way or the other. So, in other words, there are three possible answers one could give without much thought.
