Height for guys operates much the same way. Should being 5'7" be a major impediment for a guy to get a date? Nope. But apparently it is, as recorded by a number of people earlier in the thread.
Although, in the case of kids, I don't think you can say it's somehow a reflection of poor character if a single guy with no kids isn't interested in dating a woman with kids. That's a matter of what you're looking for in life at the time. And if you're a single mom, well, guys who aren't at that point in their life where they want to start a relationship not only with a significant other but also a child are probably guys you don't want to be dating anyway. I personally don't see it as a deal breaker, but I can understand why it is for many.

Some people seem to get all butt hurt over what others seek or dont seek in a partner. For example, i dont date women who are the same age or older than myself(generally date 5-10 years younger), hence 25-35 max for age. As well, I wont date a women who has a child.
ive met women and some didnt want to date me for whatever reasons. Be it physical/ethnic or any reason at all. Its no big deal to me. You move on and find someone that does. Go for what you want, as I do too. Life is too short to worry and also there are too many people in this world to worry about not meeting another persons requirments.
Its not my business what others want or seek in a potential partner. Just live your life.
Whether or not this woman had lofty expectations is not for anyone to decide. She paid for a service, but any service like this has its risks. Nothing is guaranteed when it comes to matchmaking. Perhaps the agency couldnt find a man who fit her description that wanted to go out with her? They still should continue to help her though as it is a chunk of change.
