ParticipantI honestly haven’t laughed this hard for awhile – the banter between marion and davelj is classic! This could seriously be made into a screenplay.
Does anyone have the feeling that if marion and davelj were to ever bump into each other in a coffee shop (both unaware who the other actual was) that it would be the start of a torrid affair.
On a serious note, over population, resource scarcity & depletion are serious concerns. I notice the following core themes:
science vs. intelligent design
conservation/stewardship vs. depletion/dominance
humans as one of many species vs. humans over nature
industrialized nations over the third world
facts vs. ignorance
restraint/we vs. indulgence/me
restrictions vs. freedoms
logic vs. emotion
reality vs. rationalizationThe earth is ruled by physical laws which we all have to obey (theoritical physicists excluded). Procreating is hard-wired into us, but we are also rational beings. People should be free to reproduce, but also bear responibility for their actions. Over-population will make life miserable for a subset of the population, we can either mitigate this by acting responsibily on a personal level and also on a policy/political level. Balance is the key. If we don’t proactively take action, nature will (starvation, disease, war) until equilibrium is reached.

I haven’t visited for awhile, I see you’re still stirring the pot. I think your question is valid, and although I generally don’t agree with many of your views, I don’t think it is selfish to reject a suitor due to kids – even if you have them – though it is odd, as it seems you would easily relate. The only issue is that most single men w/o kids will flat out reject dating you due to your kids.
As for my experiences, when I was younger, I dated a few women with children, and I always felt akward around them. It is difficult to really get to know someone when their kids are present, as starting a relationship is time-intensive and both parties usually want undivided attention. When it was just the two of us, I would think about her not being at home with her children… Kind of a catch-22, plus its hard to look a kid in the face after nailing their mom… I think most single men (and women) are looking for a potential partner to either date casually for fun, or if more serious, to start a family anew, both of which preclude kids to some degree. Although I had a friend who married a woman with two kids and cared for them as his own.
Also, one could construe your not wanting to date a man with children as a dislike of children in general, which could subjectively be labeled “scary”. Thus, the only viable solution is that you date a single man who shares your same views. The only one that comes to mind is davelj…
