Author	Thread: Childre: Prefer not to say?
Admin	Childre: Prefer not to say? Posted : 30 Apr, 2011 03:13 PM I have noticed on several profiles under the �Have Children� section that women will check the �Prefer not to say� option. Why would you prefer not to say if you have children or not? Are they too embarrassed of their children to claim them as their child? The only other option that I could think of was that their children have already passed away, but I have actually seen a fair amount of profiles with that option. Just curious. Post Reply

Posted : 2 May, 2011 09:34 AM Why not be honest about it, I am leery of anyone that uses the "prefer not to say" as to me that says "I'm hiding something" and if your hiding something before I've even emailed or IM'd you then what else won't you tell me. These are the options you have for the "have children" - Prefer Not To Say - Yes - No - Yes, but they're grown - Yes, but not living at home. I think there are enough options to cover most situations. If not pick the closest one and add something about it in the description you don't have to describe every detail but just a simple note. I actually like it when people take time to explain some of the options they picked. To me it gives me a sense that they put thought into creating their profile. I figure it's best to be honest a person will find out eventually any way. Post Reply

Posted : 26 May, 2011 03:40 PM I think those who don't indicate if they have a child or children on their profile does not exactly want to deny their kids. I guess they might just feel it's too personal perhaps to tell people that are still strangers to them, or something like that. In my case, I always indicate that I have a son that stays with me. I always want to be honest from the start. Me and my son will always be a "package deal" I am the only my son has. And I think it will also be unfair on the mans' part if ever he fell in love with me and then know only on the later part of the relationship that I have a child. Post Reply
