I am parents already site, just got an email from a guy who is not a parent, I think this is a bit odd?

[pirategirl]

What do you ladies think. It's obv a dating site, and he says he doesn't mind meeting women who have a child, and even wants his own one day. His profile and pic look pretty normal to me, just think its weird tbh.

I'm with you! he might be fine, but i wouldn't touch him with a bargepole!

I'm not paranoid but I'm afraid that would set alarm bells for me. agree with pollywolly

why not?

get to know him, don't let the kids meet him and see what happens

for all you know, he could be a REALLY nice guy who hasn't had kids yet but isn't as pathetic as the other men out there who won't touch women with kids

Sounds ok to me - if you take it slow and don't get the kids involved

Avoid.

I'm not by any means the pitchfork wielding peado spotter type, but am well aware (as a lone parent too) that they often target single mothers. There are millions of dating websites, and there's a major difference between meeting someone on one who happens to have a child, and actively seeking one out.

agree turkquoise.

Agree with turquoise, paedos have been known to target singles ads with kids, probably inncoent but easier to not take the risk at all.

(am thick) = didnt realise it was a site for MOSTLY parents (unlike plentyoffish) ... sorry...

completely agree to avoid now (cos the penny dropped!)

like torquiose I'm not in the pitchfork brigade either

yes Lewis, i should have explained, that it IS a site for parents, who may be finding it hard to meet people becuase they have children.

i have replied to him, questioning him!! Will be interesting to see what he says. If I am worried I think i may mention it to the moderators on there.

The other possiblity is that he thinks single mums are more desperate

Just be aware that they all 'look normal' and can be marvellously charming and manipulative. God I sound like a NOTW reader, I'm not honestly. Just can't think of any really good reason why a single childless man should sign up on Parents Already.

Agree with Turquoise, and I would want to know why a single guy is cherry poicking women with kids, he is either suss or thinks that lone parents are grateful for what they can get which isnt the case and would treat you like crap anyway, I would advoid

Be afraid, report him.
Paedophiles do go for Single Mums.
Happened to friend of Father - his ex-wife - hideous.

I will go and check my messages, and then prob report.

I dont fancy him either.!!

agree with torquise....definately a difference between no minding if a woman has children..than looking on a site knowing...

I did voice my concerns and tis is the reply I recieved.

Dear pirategirl,

^Thank you for your email. Although most of our members have children, a small per cent both male and female do not.

They have various reasons for joining, some are childless due to medical problems, or their previous partner wanted no children, or they have left it to late etc.

This topic was discussed in depth on our message board quite recently!

If you are not comfortable being contacted by a childless member please do use the 'block' facility.

Should you however be sent a message which you feel uncomfortable with then please do alert us to the content of the message so we can monitor the person concerned and take appropriate action if necessary.

Kind regards^,

Is this dating site legit cause they dont seem too concerned moderating it ?

piratey

have took a look at the parents already site - do you have to pay to message people? was bored and tired and it didnt make much sense - just loads of ticks and crosses, am non the wiser.
