WAW w/Exit Affair or WW? - Divorced Anyway (5)

[Dawn70]

I agree with what Ginger said bragging about kids being the number one priority in their dating profile being a hard pass. It has been my experience when someone tries really hard to “prove” they are a certain way, they are generally the opposite of what they’re trying to prove. Guys who insist repeatedly that they’re nice guys while being rude to a waitress, bosses who swear they aren’t micro managers while standing over you trying to direct every move. I didn’t necessarily avoid dating profiles of men who had children but I did avoid those who spent a lot of time talking about prioritizing their kids (they SHOULD prioritize them so that kind of goes without saying in my mind) or being a good/great dad were ones I’d pass on because they typically were more talk and less action where their kids were concerned. Of course I would want to know if a guy had kids but in dating, it is my opinion, the initial stages are about getting to know each other so occasional chats about kids is fine but too much of a good thing is a good thing, so to speak. Guys who proclaimed themselves great dads a lot in profiles kind of made me think of one of my dad’s favorite phrases about someone being all hat and no cattle.
