Can I tell you that I am a man with children. which I do not hide.
yet when first I joined the site, I didn't wish to disclose ages as I though this info too personal for web site. until I knew that it was not a scam or that identity thieves may be on site. the profile marked me as no children as default because I didn't completely fill this section in. it is the job of a man to protect his family so I was worried to disclose to much. understand?
a few ladies asked of my children as they were in my photos with me. I told them the truth they told me the profile said no which was a surprise to me as I did not indicate it so. soon after I corrected. so my advise would be to simply ask the question of the man. it is not always a deception sometimes there is a good reason or simple mistake.
