The title says it. The "Has Kids" on the basic information on profiles has disapeared.

I found that to be a very important part of the profile and welcomed it when it was on the profile. Before that I had to hunt throught the profile and piece together whether my match had children or not. I did not automatically rule out women with children since obviously I am allowing myself to be matched with them. But it was extremely helpful to know if their communications is slow or if they seem to have limited time.

Bring it back!

I hope they change it to include something a bit more descriptive. Maybe they pulled it while they "fix" it?

Another issue with that likely had to do with some others complaint that they didnt have the option to say you were interested in having kids...just not inhereting them in marriage.

Wow, I just noticed this and I agree that they should definitely bring this back. I also think that they should answer whether or not they have kids and if they live with them. Sometimes the person will have kids but not living with them so I believe the answer is "no" when in actuality they really do have children.

What if the kids live with them part time? There are so many possibilities.

It should be a simple do you have children Yes or No. For people that do not have children living with them, they still have children. I personally do not want to be matched with someone who has children. Many men due to divorce situations do not have children living with them, but do have children, I think it is unfair that I get matched with them when I specifically say "I do not want a match with children." Because of this issue I put a discalimer in my profile that I do not want a match who has kids.

I would rather have the men know upfront that I would prefer that he did not have children. Better to have him close me out then have an akward "I thought you did not have children" conversation down the road.

That reminds me of a profile I was offered in a match. In one place, she had written "has no children", in another, favorite or most important things, "playing with my grandchildren".

"Has had children" or "has children at home" would have saved me a momentary confusion.
