Rabbit32 View Profile History	What does it mean when a woman says.... Posted : 11 Apr, 2010 09:36 PM on her profile that she does not want children, does that mean she doesn't want to have children or does that mean she doesn't want another man's children or all of the above? Post Reply
View Profile History	What does it mean when a woman says.... Posted : 11 Apr, 2010 10:38 PM I would take it mean "all of the above." But, if you're interested in here, I would say that you should send her a message requesting clarification. Post Reply
View Profile History	What does it mean when a woman says.... Posted : 12 Apr, 2010 12:33 AM I never thought about 'all of the above'. I have always understood it to mean, she or he does not want any 'more' children. Usually, when I see it, they have children already and they're grown. Post Reply
bcpianogal View Profile History	What does it mean when a woman says.... Posted : 12 Apr, 2010 06:34 AM Usually, when I see that on a man's profile, I would assume that he does not want his wife to have children if/when he gets married, and he does not want to raise any children that the wife may already have (if they are younger children). On a girl's profile, I would assume that it means that the woman doesn't want children at all, is too old to have children (or have them safely), has already raised her children, or doesn't want to raise someone else's children. I appreciate people's honesty about that matter. It helped me when I was actively viewing profiles. I DO want children very badly, and whenever I saw a profile of a guy who didn't want children, I just kept moving. I knew that he wasn't the one for me. Post Reply

I know some sites have the option of, "Does not want children but willing to accept partner who has them" I think CDFF should look in to maybe changing their options on that question or make it so that you can write a little blurb.

View Profile History	What does it mean when a woman says.... Posted : 12 Apr, 2010 06:06 PM I understand it to mean she does not want to have children, or to adopt. If it doesn't give more detail in her profile, and you are otherwise interested in her, by all means ask for clarification. Post Reply
View Profile History	What does it mean when a woman says.... Posted : 12 Apr, 2010 07:01 PM This question always makes me wonder also. Other dating sites sometimes word it differently, but still leave doubt as to what it really means. I wish they would really spell it out with boxes to be checked with all the options, just like the smoking/drinking options. Until they do, I guess we just have to ask the person for clarification. As you can see so far - we understand it to mean different things. My personal take on it would mean that they don't want any more. I always wonder if to a guy it means that they don't want any more, or don't want a woman with a child/children at home still. Post Reply

Posted : 13 Apr, 2010 04:50 PM hi, for me it means that I do not want to have/birth new children but I am fine with accepting the children that he already has..wow, it took me 3 tries to write that... one man did tell me that he thought that I meant that I would not accept his children, this could not be farther from the truth.. maybe the option should be clearer like ~not having any more babies, will acccept your children~... blessings Post Reply
View Profile History	What does it mean when a woman says.... Posted : 14 Apr, 2010 01:11 AM When I see it on a man's profile and he has kids I take it as he doesn't want to have anymore. When I see that he doesn't have kids, I assume that he doesn't want any ever. If I had kids I would probably think it's ok if the other person has kids, but not if they don't. Does that make any sense? lol Post Reply
SOS4EMAILFRIEND View Profile History	What does it mean when a woman says.... Posted : 15 Apr, 2010 02:41 AM These prefixed answers do not work for me anyway. The question if I already have children is legit. But if I want children... Having children, is not that to be decided in a relationship by both partners? Moreover, getting or being pregnant is a gift. One can want as much as one wants to (or two for that matter...). Also the option, prefer not to say, I find offensive as it implies that you already know but do not want to tell. I really would not appreciate being questioned on me wanting to have children on the very first mail contact... I would feel that my reproducing qualities were being valued by a total stranger. And what really bothers me, is that you cannot leave this question unanswered.. that is if you want to enter your profile. Post Reply
