(There are exceptions, but most of them have a screw loose.) If that's not acceptable to you, stay away from women with children. And when you do find a woman, don't have kids with her, because she'll put them first.<br /><br />As for religion: if you're religious, you'll want her to put God first. If you aren't, you're not going to get along with a woman who is anyway.<br />Rex Littlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-88842852482848769672013-08-31T07:13:19.938-07:002013-08-31T07:13:19.938-07:00Cranberry, I usually take them as face value, espe...Cranberry, I usually take them as face value, especially when the rest of the profile comes off as demanding. Normally the girls who sound "sweet", even if they say they have dogs, won't state you'll be less important. <br /><br />However, I tend to stay away if she has larger dogs, especially 2 of them. I once went on a couple of dates with a girl who lived in a tiny apartment with two huge dogs and her ex-fiance. I wasn't eager to get back. It was way too awkward.Eric S.

"Putting your foot down" with a 21st century Westernized woman will get you some really pretty divorce papers at best.

My wife would. Not. Budge. Things like bringing our kid into the bed regularly until it became a ritual, (as opposed to say, him waking up freaked out from a nightmare, which I'm OK with), stuff like that. Unilateral decisions, you know?<br /> Well, the solution I found was to do the same thing back for a while, let her know she's #2 for me, too. That lasted a very short while until we worked things out. Although I'm sure YMMV person to person, I've found that a separate-but-equal approach works well. <br />Paul, Dammit!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02264872375942355609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-89212978862397326532013-08-29T17:03:58.534-07:002013-08-29T17:03:58.534-07:00Eric, do they really say that about their dogs?

And being lower on the list of a woman's priorities is the wrong place to be. <br /><br />My soon to be ex-wife placed me far down on her priorities. If I were lucky, she'd see me as an extra child. On bad days, an afterthought or inconvenience. It sucks. There is pretty much no coming back from that.<br /><br />What's even sillier are those women who don't have children, don't want them, but explicitly state "You will ALWAYS be less important than my dogs." I hope their dogs are there for them in old age. Eric S.
