TAN #29 The case of the disappearing TAN (Page 45)

True, true. Never been married, no kids, and no ex-boyfriends who actually care enough to kick someone else's a$$ over me. Though I am one of the remaining few in my large circle of friends who is still single. I know plenty of people who don't have kids, merely because in this area, there are lots of people who've been in school for a long time, or are doing the "career" thing before having kids, but A LOT of people are already married or serious or engaged.

Naw, I feel ya. I don't know if I'd want to shack up with a guy who already had a kid. As a female, I would NOT want to deal with an ex-wife who was the mother of the kid and therefore, most likely in the picture. That's just WAY too messy, knowing how women are to other women.

WHOA, 24 is WAY too early to add women with kids in your "A" selection list.  Maybe if you wer 34 you could add them....

Almost all of my wife's coworkers are 25-35 and are unmarried without kids.

Oh, don't get me wrong - DC is a great area. I just find that some of the people leave a bit to be desired.

Didn't get a chance to deal with many people.  I just liked the Dupont circle area, Georgetown, the national mall, and the metro.  Just a great city.

Don't get me wrong....I'll never live in the DC/Balitmore area again.   Lived there for a year and people (in general) seemed very standoff-ish to the new person (me).

Quick side note.  I was planning to go to the gym and do..... something.....

bah, just want lunch and to relax....

We'll have to disagree on this one.  I love my stepdaughters as if they were my own, even though their father is a total jerk.  Do we have to deal with him?  Yeah and it makes me angry sometimes and I want to kick his $ss, but in the end, it is worth it because they are great kids. 

When I was married the first time, both my ex and I did not want kids.  About six years into the marriage, she changed her mind and wanted kids NOW.  I wanted to plan it out, since I was fairly convinced that I would never have kids anyway.  She couldn't wait, we got divorced, she was re-married 2 years later and had a kid 3 years later. 

So, certainly, I did not go looking for a woman with children.  I dated several women that were not parents, I dated a couple that had kids, but I wasn't serious about any of them.  Didn't want to be.  I met Steph and I knew that her prior situation didn't matter.  We fit together.  End of story. 

You're young and you stilll have plenty of time and you probably still have plenty of opportunity to find a woman that doesn't have kids.  The Maxim quotient says that you could be dating a 19 year old right now ((Man's age / 2) + 7), so as you are turning 40, you can use this logic to hook up with a 27 year old.  The question at that point is do you want to.  Life is a series of trade offs.  Do yourself a favor and don't discount anyone because they are already a Mom.  You might miss the opportunity of your life.

That just gave me chills.  Chicks on the back of sportsbikes are hawt.  Chicks riding their OWN streetbikes are uberhawt.....

*Raising hand*. 

But it took 5 years before we qualified...  She is an example that life's experiences matures you more than years.

I know you're joking, but it's crap like that, that makes the whole dating thing SUCK for women.

Please help.  I need to know how to get the smiley faces that are NOT the typical     .

You know, the yellow ones.....
