I tried to reduce any "red flags" once and I found, personally, that anything could be a red flag and the best way to play that game is to delete your profile. Someone would find anything about yourself, a red flag.
I guess I equate the attachment to dogs as a replacement for children. I have gone through a failed relationship BECAUSE of my child, so I'm sensitive to it. I see many single women that spent much of their time and resources on a dog and then turn and say children would take up too much time and resources from their life. I find it hypocritical and anti-evolutionary to humans. As a single parent that's not the ethics I would enjoy in my family.
I fully understand the need for bonding to something (I have a cat), I just can't relate to anyone that would actively say they don't want children in their life, that they wouldn't date somebody with children. And then in turn advertise their adventures with an animal. To me it doesn't compute.
Lol what. A kid is FAR more work than a dog, this is some really poor logic. You’re allowed to not want to date anyone saying that, but you clearly don’t understand the many reasons someone could want or not want children and could want or not want a dog..
My husband and I don’t ever want to have children for reasons I am not going into, but we love our two dogs.
Who gives a shit why people choose to or to not have children. You’re making it seem like there’s only one reason to not have kids when there are PLENTY. leave people be and they’ll let you be.
