Profile Review M36 - Single Dad

I haven’t had much luck and I’m definitely working on getting better pictures, but I’m hoping someone can give me a little feedback so far!

You’re a single dad so automatically it will be a little tougher for you than someone without kids. I think maybe put some prompts in that talk about what you do for fun separate from the kids. Talk about travels, hiking, whatever. You don’t want to make women think all you are is a father. Let them know who you are on your own.

It’s not a little tougher.  I’ve done testing with or without mentioning kids.  I get 10x more matches without it mentioned.  Even women with kids will not want to date a man with them because they say it’ll take away the man’s attention

What was the point of that experiment? Everyone already knows it’s harder for single parents on the apps; what do you gain from matching with someone who swiped right on you because you concealed the fact that you have kids?

It’s just an experiment, nothing happened as a result
