It is misogynistic, and it makes me think, maybe online dating works and that is why his experiences are negative!

- wlesieutre 14y agoI don't see how it's misogynistic. A woman on a dating site who didn't want to settle down and raise a family would probably have the exact same reaction to a single father's profile. Maybe there's a more polite way of phrasing it, but if you don't want to be raising a kid, then seeing one as "extra baggage" doesn't seem like a stretch to me. Edit: As sfall points out, he wrote "extra" and not "massive"
- manicdee 14y agoRegardless of adjective, the choice to characterise children as baggage indicates the mindset of the writer. If you don't want to be involved in the responsibilities of raising children, make sure your filter has "no kids" set. If you can't set a filter because you are so desperate for any contact that you "cast your net wider", the problem is you. Feature, not baggage. Unwanted feature? Filter out the undesirable profiles.
