B. Seeing a man with a kid gives you incite that he MAY be a loving and caring father which is a highly sought after attribute in those that you date.
C. Its not the kid, it's my rugged good looks.
D. Stop laughing. C is completely plausible, especially if the meeting is in a dimly lit place.
E. The kid is just too damn cute and I didn't even notice you there.
Sadly, my son is not always with me. So I am thinking of making full size cardboard cutouts of him to take with me on outings. It has also led me toward a possible business idea.......Rent-A-Kid. Single men could rent adorable 5 year olds to take out in public........then again, that sounds really Sandusky like. Scratch that!
Peace out...
Rent a kid definitely not a good plan. While I have no doubts of your charm or your ability to be debonair, it may be the cute kid. I am going to go with option B (but I'm sure C is the real reason). As a married woman I can tell you if I see a cute kid, I'll shoot a smile, a wave, and maybe a ” you are so cute” without ever paying mind to what the parent looks like. I do think the lionesses analogy was quite accurate though. Hey the worst is you may end up with a few bite marks in you from fending off the unworthy lioness, you'll know when its time to mark your territory.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, it's probably all of the above.
ReplyDeleteSeeing a cute kid lets you know, if there's a chance with the guy, you won't have children who look like Sloth.
You can use the kid and his actions as a great opener, because who doesn't like to ramble about how fantastic their child is? And maternal instincts in women make children an automatic common point even if the woman is not yet a mother.
Chances are, if she approaches you, she has already observed your interactions with your kid. When you're with your kid, you're probably playful, happy, loving, etc. which makes you look like a great catch.
Being a married mom, a lot of times it's the last one. I love kids more than I ever thought I could. They're so much more on my level. :)
I don't envy those who are out there on the second time around. I couldn't even land my first without help.
And even with all the advice you'll get about women, it will never ever make total sense. :)
