The EH Children Question Quandry

I am curious as to those who are on EH who don't want children do about receiving matches from those who do have children.

I also place in the additional information category about my refusal to date men with children or those that want children. That seems sorta rude but I don't know of an easier way of establishing how much of a dealbreaker that situation really is.

:SIGH:

I understand that in the Must Haves/Can't Haves section there is a spot for "No Children". I get that when making your profile that the children question is phrased "No children under 18 in the home FT". I am reluctant to do a subscription because out of twenty matches that I have received 18 have had children in their lives. I know it is sore spot but for many but I am curious as to those who are on EH who don't want children do about receiving matches from those who do have children. The closest that I've come to weeding through the matches & closing them out was to click the "statements in profile" box. I also place in the additional information category about my refusal to date men with children or those that want children.

Any contructive advice would be greatly welcomed.

Demographically, this is a small number. You have to be realistic about that.

I would turn to a specialty site.

But what I do wonder.....why would you hold it against someone that they had children in a prior relationship? Why can't you accept that? Do you think its baggage?

You might check to see if your matches are "flexible" matches. If you make your distance, age, smoking, drinking and child preference all super tight, you have to expect that eH will have to loosen up one or two of those to get you some matches.
