Got rejected by two men yesterday for being childfree
Because apparently “open to children” actually means “I desperately want kids and this is a dealbreaker for me”
Was chatting with this guy on bumble for a few days. His profile said “open to kids”. Things are going well then he hits me with the “I love your vibe and style but… I just read you don’t want to have kids… want to be friends? I also think your dog is super cute”
Unmatched him immediately because wtf.
No exaggeration, 30 minutes later I get this text from a guy I’ve been talking to for over a month. He also has “open to children” listed on his profile. He tells me he’s trying to approach dating more intentionally with long term compatibility in mind and says “I noticed on your profile that you mentioned not wanting children and I was wondering whether that’s a firm, permanent stance or just a temporary position for the time being?”
Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me.
On what planet would “don’t want children” mean “I actually want children in a couple of years”?!?!?! On what planet. Bffr
Really I’m just venting here until I get to talk this out in therapy later today.
Big hugs to all the childfree women out here. There is just something so uniquely dehumanizing about your refusal to offer up your uterus on a free use platter being the #1 reason why you can’t find a partner.
