Interesting poll! And once again, I'd say many of the answers depend on the situation. And I admit that many of the options are such that they probably don't matter that much if you are really truly madly in lovewith someone - many of the options, however, are such that they probably would have prevented me falling in love with said person in the first place... But it's fascinating to see, what kind of things set me off and what people in general are looking forward in a life partner - or not.

I agree with [livejournal.com profile] mitzi007 to the notion of being unable and not wanting to have kids is a totally different thing. But as a person with a long struggle with infertility problems, I'd like to point out that saying "There's always adoption" is one of the worst and most hurtful things one can say to an involuntarily childless person. Adoption is not always an option and it's definitely not an easy or guaranteed solution for anyone having infertility problems.

Sorry. Open mouth, insert foot, again. But I plead ignorance on these matters.

Not offended. Just wanted to point it out, in case you have to say something comforting to a childless person, that is not it... :)
