    Try being a childfree woman.
    Yep. Ask my friend Mouse about this. While she and her ex-husband got divorced for a variety of reasons, one of them was the unusual situation that HE wanted children and SHE didn't. Not the usual setup, after all.

    And in other news....there is no other news. Still no contact from said woman, nor any other women. Yay me! I am so popular.

        You could text me, you know.

        Sure, I have to go to work on occasion, and every once in a while I actually manage to get some sleep, but eventually I'd text you back.

          While this is unquestionably true, it does nothing to alleviate my current single status or dry spell. LOL!

          When I said "no contact from any woman" I meant in a romantic sense, on that site or in my life in general. I have plenty of female friends and coworkers and have, of course, had contact with them.

          And I do text you from time to time when I have something to say.

                I've been contacted by an 18 year old who seems pretty chill...but she's still in high school and that feels pretty weird to me.

                    How did they manage to get married without having that conversation? Or did she realize she didn't want kids after they got married? I bust out that (potential) dealbreaker by the third date so no one wastes their time. My favorite response was "thank goodness, I was trying to decide when to tell you I'm fixed!"

                    I wouldn't worry about the lack of contacts, around here it isn't "dating season" yet, meaning people are sticking with their current partner to get thru the holidays, Valentine's Day and winter in general.
                    I had one friend that all he did was extend the radius of the distance he was willing to travel for a date and that got him a lot more contacts on the site he was using. One really awsome gal that lived just a mile outside of his original radius.

                          I don't know. She and I never got into the specifics of it. Perhaps he knew that going in, and he hoped she'd change her mind. (That very thing happened with my friend Pilot and his wife...he never wanted kids....and now they have one, and he couldn't be happier.) Or perhaps she didn't really know at the time they got married. Again, I don't know the specifics, so can't really comment on this.

                          If I lived back home in Phoenix, I would do this. I don't. I live in Key West. To understand the problem, check googlemaps and see where I am. And understand that I am using a 50 mile radius, which in reality here is a one hour drive each way. Basically making my radius as far out as Marathon. Since I really don't have any interest in dating or starting a relationship with a girl in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area, a good 3-4 hour drive from here. (Seriously. Check the maps. You'll understand quickly.)

                            A 50 mile radius is about as far as I'd do too. The friend in my example had a very small radius to start with - I think he went with the default one (don't know for sure). We are so close to the border that I think he was trying to make sure he didn't include Canada.

                                Just remember, Jester, a gay man will still blow you even AFTER you are married. lol
