Those are the types I preferred. I do like kids so I wanted a guy who liked kids. My boyfriend likes kids but he is ambivalent about having kids, which is how I was. I mostly ran into the guys who really hated kids and those guys generally didn't want marriage either and were afraid of being stung financially.
I always assumed guys who were bitter about stuff like that had been burned in the past by someone. My husband, when we were dating, had once dated a woman who attempted to take advantage of him, but didn't really succeed. He's the type who is in control of his finances and he's generous, but not stupid. Know what I mean?
My husband and I did talk about having a kid together when we first met... I was 37 back then and I really would've had another kid if he wanted. We got married when I was 42 and we talked about it some more... I still would've had one. I'm 47 now and we are actively trying NOT to have one, but if I was pregnant for some strange reason, neither of us would be crushed about it. We'd enjoy it, I'm sure. He's a great stepdad.

I have a feeling that is what it is. I met a lot of men who were burned by women so they were angry. I feel like that, if I got pregnant (after marriage of course)it wouldn't be the end but it's not something I have to do. I did meet a few men like that but most seemed to either definitely want kids or definitely didn't. Your husband sounds like a great guy.
Somehow I wonder if she'll be honest to these men she may live with. I suspect she'll end up with a man like her and get more in assistance. I honestly doubt she'll find a man who is financially secure. I know when I did online dating and a man was on assistance I would tell him to deal with that first and then we would talk. Disability would be another story though I think.
I doubt it.
Truth is, she's very picky... (she says)... but she'd consider dating a druggie, a guy with mental problems, or an ex-con. I'm thinking that most of them (maybe not the ones with mental problems, but that would vary) wouldn't care about her being on food stamps.
Soooo... I dunno how that qualifies as picky, but we all have our hard lines, no?

Unless you don't care about being alone, good luck to you. Most men who are choices will not want a woman on welfare with two baby daddies. Sorry but that's the truth. I know lots of men who were looking for mates and not one would date someone like that. Some did date single moms or marry them but only single moms with their life together and not on welfare.

He's a good man. I'm glad I met him. I really am.
He's human, of course. Nobody's perfect. Isn't that what marriage is, though? The union of two imperfect individuals.
If we were perfect, none of us would ever want a companion. We'd be islands unto ourselves.

I missed her seeing that but those guys would likely give her a chance. For some reason I thought she was only open to successful men who were handsome and those guys would probably not be open to her. I definitely would have never dated a male version of her.
