Would this stop you from dating someone/ give the ick?

Sorry for the title, I didn't know how else to word it. I'm 38, single and have late primary aged children.

I know this guy, have known him for a while and last night at an event got chatting. Prior to this, I knew very little about him, just to say hi.
After we got chatting, I realised I was very attracted to him, he's not my usual type physically but is really nice looking, funny and completely different to my previous preconceptions about him.
We flirted all night and he asked if we could go out just the two of us (a date?!) We have texted all day, very flirty and I was really looking forward to it.
I facebooked him.
His profile is kind of semi private, there is info there.

He is 33.
There is a profile picture of children, 6 of them, they look aged between 2 and 14, it was uploaded in March. Don't know if it's old or not.
He has an new photo uploaded 2 weeks ago. Of a new baby. Brand new.
From the comments and further digging, this is his grandchild, born 3 weeks ago.
We have not talked specifics about children other than, yes we have them.
I don't know why but it has knocked me right off him. I don't know now if the youngest (2year old) in the profile photo is his child or grandchild. I don't know how many children are his, how many mums etc. It just looks so chaotic now and not something I want to get involved with. But I really like him. I'm pretending to be asleep so I don't have to answer him but we were supposed to be going for Sunday lunch tomorrow
Would this put you off a person?

My nan was a nan at 38. I loved it!

While it is very common to have a baby at 18 or 19, it is quite unusual to become a dad at 16. And then to go on to have 5 more kids with 3 other women doesn't make him that good a bet for OP.

Though I'm not sure she is looking for a long term relationship. And she is not more likely to have no 7 with him than she is to become pregnant by a man who currently has no children. That is really up to her.

What do you mean by, 'glad my boyfriend'? Wouldn't you be glad that your boyfriend didn't have kids with 3 further women over the next 12 years or so?

It's a completely normal age to be having your first. I was the only one of my friends to have kids in my 20's, at 29, nobody else was less than 32 for their first and were 37-40 having their final one. I'd raise serious eyebrows and be very disappointed if my 21 year old told me he was having a baby.

It may be 'normal' but it's not young and there are more risks associated with having babies in your 30s.

33, and 6 kids. Never in a million years would I touch him with a bargepole.

I don’t understand the mental gymnastics here in trying to figure out if he provides well.

you barely know him and are spending a lot of energy on this.

go out, ask clarifying questions and then decide if being with a 33 yo who was a teenager parent with 6 kids and a grandchild is the right fit and role model for you, your family.
