Reciprocity as in I’m not bringing that kind of baggage into the relationship. I want a woman who is also not bringing that kind of baggage into the relationship. You say fussy, nit picking males aren’t worth the trouble. Do you mean males who actually have standards? If you are talking about a situation in which the partner is a freeloader just looking to sponge resources from the other, I don’t think anybody likes that. You say that anyone who is raising offspring doesn’t need another dependent. I don’t disagree. I would just say that applies to people who are not raising offspring as well - and that’s what another man’s child is - another dependent.
Fair enough.
