    I don't think men are afraid of commitment.

    From the way you wrote this, it seems like you are a single parent. I could be wrong though. Many men will be out of your dating pool. Single men without children are often terrible matches for women with children, especially single men under 35. Single women without children are more likely to positively perceive a single father.

    Not sure if the right single man for you is on this forum. Perhaps search MFP for men in your local area. Work the friend of friend network.

    It's like deja vu all over again. Do you have this response saved somewhere so you can cut and paste it at will?

    Yup DM, you need to cut and paste it... what I find fascinating is that the OP stated her wanted list, which in no way said she needed a child-less man, but you always automatically assume that is the intention. Believe it or not, not every woman is after you. :tongue:

    But this thread in general has me wishing that there were a better way to network through this group to meet potential matches in real life. :ohwell:

    Ha... Men aren't afraid of commitment... they are afraid of losing half of everything they own.

    Sorry I've been so cynical the last two days... I think I've had my man-period for about a week now.

    I'm bleeding out here :sad:

    Here's the facts...

    Approximately 45% of all marriages end in divorce. 70% of all applications for divorce are filed by women.

    According to my calculations therefore... (45% + 70% = 115%)... 115% of all marriages end in divorce because of women.

    And you wonder why men are afraid of commitment?!?!?

    Don't shoot the messenger.

    I assumed she had children, not that she desired a guy who didn't have kids.

    But you are so right in general about networking through this group to meet matches in real life.

    It is also very hard to randomly reach out to people who are local to you on MFP to see if they are single and available.

    The key is to find a woman you love more than half of your stuff. :laugh:

    my ex filed for our divorce. i left him the 4000sq ft house and loads of furniture inside. he got all the china too ;-) i did get half of the 401K stuff, but, he was stashing money away while we were married and post separation so, i'm sure he actually had more stashed away than i got in his 401K. and i don't get half of his paycheck each month, i get maybe a third or quarter of it.

    not all women are vampires :-)

    Actually since after the divorce you don't get the girl or half of your stuff, you'd be better off finding a girl you'd be happy to give up half of your stuff so that she would go away.

    In my experience, men aren't afraid of commitment. They are afraid of committing to a woman and one day waking up and realizing that they wasted 2-3 years of their lives dealing with that woman's crap and that it wasn't worth it. They aren't afraid of committing, they are afraid of committing to the wrong person. Just like women are. Or at least just like I am, I can't really speak of ALL women in this scenario.

    And there's always that "losing 1/2 of their stuff" scenario.

    But anywho, you are attractive, 29 (still in the "date-able age range" LOL). I'm sure you won't have any problem finding a good man. And really if you don't you'll just be in the same boat as all of us are. It's a nice boat with 24 hr room service and a free minibar...

    Hey not all of us want to get married again you know :grumble: .. Personally I have no urge to remarry. I am perfectly happy just to have a LTBF perhaps a live in. ( some of us ladies would like not to lose half our stuff either )

    Oh and the women who want more than 'what is fair' post-break up were gold diggers from the start IMO.
