I kind of wish they did... I mean, nothing against kids, but it would be nice to know if they have 2, or like 7! (Yes, I actually came across someone online who had 7 kids and photos up of all of them). I feel like for women though, it's more of a safety thing... You have to protect your family and ward off the creeps/potential pedophiles etc. I guess guys do too. Most guys I've met have their kids part time or less, so it's been less of an issue there. It's one of those things that I wish was more up front, but I understand why it would be considered personal.
There has been some reluctance from women on here to admit to how many kids that they had.. not sure really what the hesitance would be.. .but I think it matters... there is a major responsibility difference from 1 kid to having 4..... I think it should be laid out up front from the get go.. again, just to make sure that there isn't any kind of issues when people actually meet up and find out the actual details.... no harm no foul so to speak.
Do you think that if a person has kids then they should always include the number of kids they have in their profile so other people will know before they attempt to message them? It seems like a lot of people try to deceive others by saying that they are a mother or father, but failing to mention how many kids they have.
Its all gonna depend if you are wanting a LTR = Yes people want to know up front !
or
You are just on one of those "hook up" sites " looking for a one night stand = who cares
I was wondering in a good natured and non adversarial way, why would a woman/man withhold the number of kids..... I mean if you got 1 why not mention you have 3???
I don't have have kids and really don't have any real frame of reference in this discussion other that that of a potential dater,, which is even not really right because I'm off of the market....
I just think that in the interest of being honest you would mention that exact count... don't have to get into more details, but just that you have X amount of children....

IMO, I don't think you need to advertise specific details right in your profile. Kid or kids seems sufficient enough. Do you say you're blonde, but also mention it comes in a bottle to cover the gray?
I've never done online dating but I don't think you need to be that specific in a profile. Someone who is interested in you may earn the right to know those details in person. It's not like they said they have no kids and surprise, you meet for coffee and it turns out they have three.

I just don't get it... I don't know why there is some mystique about it... you got three kids.. say you got three kids......
As a man, perusing ads I would want to know... I wouldn't want to get involved with a woman that had 4 kids....
I don't think it's out of bounds to wonder this.... IDk.. maybe I'm way off base here?????
I say this with no nastiness intended... just honesty......
There is no need to know that info if someone is just browsing ads. I wouldn't put number of kids or ages in my profile. All they would know is that I have children.
With that said, if I were dating I wouldn't be looking for marriage (or to shack up with someone) either and I would be VERY clear about that as well. There would be no need for someone to know anything about my kids since they likely would never be part of their life.
