Kids and differences

[MarkInTx]

Lately, I've been reading other discussion boards.

I have noticed an interesting trend.

The men on the Latin board seem to -- predominantly -- be looking for women who do not have kids.

On this board, I sense that most men would not mind if the lady had children of her own -- and in fact, many of them would prefer it.

I don't know why that is. Age doesn't seem to factor into it. Men on the latin board who are over forty and have had kids of their own are still wanting to find a lady that hasn't had any.

Some on here who are in their thirties are going to see women who have hids.

Weird. Especially when you consider that the average child coming from -- say -- Columbia, and who speaks Spanish, would have a much easier time acclimating to our schools and culture than one who only speaks Russian. So, you would think it would be the other way around. But it isn't.

I can't explain it. I just thought I would mention it. FWIW.

I wouldn't even consider an AW without kids, much less an RW, simply because I actually did once, (3 year relationship), and all there ever was, was jealousy about the time that I spent with my own.

There is a lot to what bubba said about "sincerity".  Besides, I get to be a dad again, which ain't such a bad thing imo.

We are so afraid of scammers that we consider the women with kids to be more sincere.  Also, we don't want to cross of 2/3 of the best women off our list because they have a child already.  A woman with a child has more to consider than her own well being.  In our own minds, we think we can have that hot woman with a kid, but nothing will hold back the childless woman from leaving.

that whether it is an AW or an FSUW, her own flesh and blood is and always will be #1. The second husband will always be #2. Simple fact of life. Some AM can accept this reality, some cannot. If the AM already has children, it is perfectly understandable that he would be more inclined to accept a woman who already has children.
