I just need to vent a little frustration. I am out in the dating game giving 100% just like most single guys in their mid-20's, but I have hit a rut lately where every attractive, single woman I meet has at LEAST one kid and was never married to the father.
Don't get me wrong. I love kids and want to have a family of my own someday. If I were in my 40's and still single, I would accept the fact that there probably aren't going to be too many childless women in my dating pool. But at 26, I'm just not ready for a ready-made family.
So here is my question. Doesn't ANYONE wait to get MARRIED before they have babies anymore? Mitt Romney caught some flack for saying basically the same thing at CPAC last year, but the man is right. Take it from a 26-year-old male who is tired of his dating pool being saturated with kids. Time for the lifeguard to blow the whistle for adults-only swim.
I don't think people wait until their married anymore either.
I remember back in my twenties too. I was in the process of getting married thank god. But for goodness sakes, every man I knew or my friends knew was a dad. The majority of them had a kid out there somewhere, or several kids with several different women. Some of them didn't even acknowledge the fact that they had a kid out there. It was unbelievable.
I think my husband was the only one without a kid out there somewhere.
I just don't think it should be this difficult to find a pool of classy, attractive, and CHILDLESS women in such a large and fairly metropolitan city. I am outgoing, educated, have a good career, no threat to Brad Pitt but the looks decent wagon didn't pass me by completely, and I certainly have no trouble approaching women. Why am I having such trouble finding "keepers" who don't have kids?
Tell me about it! I am in my late 20's and i would venture to guess that half of my female friends are single moms. Most of them have nothing to do with their baby's dad or have no clue where he is. They simply thought they met their dream men in their early 20's and they turned out to be anything but.
I feel sorry for them because they always complain that nobody wants date them because they are single moms.
My guy friends tell me the same thing. They get frustrated because it seems that all the women they meet want a 'father figure' for their kids more than a boyfriend.
A lot of them have visions of marrying the guys they're with at the time, so to them unprotected sex isn't so bad. But then reality sets in and they end up broken up.
or are there hoardes of women running out in the 20s and getting in-vitro
octocrack doesn't count here
