Maybe you should just relax about the relationship/children issue, probably scares people away. Honest opinion.

Thousands. Hence why it's off-putting.

same is true of all relationships, so are you avoiding all human relationships?

I don't say to people straight away when I date them, would you like to have children with me? But I will be 35 in February and I am conscious of my age. I don't want to be too old when I have children. I know what I want in life, and I haven't got another 7 years to find out if someone wants children or not. The problem I find is that most women of my age have already had children, or don't want any. Usually women have had children, or have married by 35. I don't really want to date someone who is divorced or has children from a previous relationship.
The other factor is that both my parents were killed in a car accident 6 years ago. I am an only child so I don't have any family now.
I was grieving for 3 years so didn't feel up to having a relationship during that time. I now feel that I want to have a family of my own.

Troy, she could have had me at husband number 1.

Sorry honest opinion again but you could be scaring off potential prey/wives, mammys with this dogged, rigid approach.

I would prefer to marry an Irish woman for love.

Then why are you asking if they'll do it for money, why not ask for love instead?

No,, its a scam, they marry, after a time the partner gets the visa, they separate, the EU citizen walks away with as much as 5 grand.

They knuckled down on it a few years ago, but I am sure it still goes on.

I think johnny is right - figure out what you want and go after it while it's still a possibility. We don't have infinite time so you may as well dismiss the unsuitable candidates without wasting too much time.

I'm sick of this you'll-find-someone-when-you-least-expect-it b*!!$hit, how exactly does that work, do you pretend to not be looking in the hope the person appears?

Try this

Say to yourself "I am now open to a relationship".

I could not agree with you more.
I have been waiting patiently for the last 3 years for someone to come along, but it hasn't happened for me. I have been out on some dates, but no chemistry though. I feel that at 35 in February, I know what I want and don't want to waste any time dating someone who doesn't know what they want, or doesn't want the same things in life as me. You just get to a stage in life where you know what you are looking for.

Well perhaps for some being unable to compromise leads to them being single. Total self pleasing is selfish is it not? I want this and I want that is hardly the foundation for being a couple. Maybe the person with these preconditions is better off being single.

It is not that simple.
I have been open to a relationship for the last 3 years.
I have been on dates, but not found the right person yet.

You cannot compromise on having children or not in a relationship.
I am looking for someone that wants to have children.
That is not selfish, it is normal to want to have children.
Yes, you are better off being single than living a lie.
I have wanted children for the last 10 years, but I would rather be single than just date someone and have children for the wrong reasons.

ok I see where you're coming from but I don't think the man is saying he's a problem getting into a relationship, he's just clear on what his dealbreakers are and not prepared to compromise on them.

He may not get what he wants but IMO he's right to be trying. If he was in his 20s or his 50s I'd say go with the flow and enjoy things for what they are but as he's certain he wants kids wife etc he doesn't have luxury of time to waste with someone who won't.

I'm not too sure how this is on-topic though or what it has to do with marrying for money. In answer to that - a resounding no.
