I never look at children as baggage. Baggage is something you check in at the airport. I hope she dumps this guy so he can find someone who wouldn't look at the fact he has a child as a piece of luggage.
I agree. If I loved someone enough to be planning a future together, I would see his child as a wonderful bonus. And I can't imagine walking away from a relationship just because he has a child. A man having children would never be a deal-breaker for me.
I also question what "he has very little money" means. How much is very little? Compared to what? It's all a matter of perception. He may have less money than she does, but still be doing fine.
And I also agree with those who have speculated whether it's the mother who is concerned about this, or the daughter.
When I was younger it would be a deal breaker. Now when older, I don't care since I have my own. (many in my age group do) I still wouldn't date men with young kids. (prefer high school age and on)

And if the guy were to keep secrets from the woman, because there was "no reason to tell", would that be equally fair?

The child is not 'baggage', but, as someone else here said, the 'ex' just might be. (Not always, of course. I'm sure there are a lot of very nice ex wives and ex husbands who are very fine people.)

'Show me the money'........(lol). Seriously, a nice big diamond would show me that the BF spent a lot of time and money and effort to win over my heart. (lol again, said tongue-in-cheek). Sometimes it's a matter of how ambitious a guy is; how much effort he put into getting 'the prize' (me). And sometimes it prompts a future husband to value his mate, 'sort of' placing her on a long-term, life-long pedestal, so to speak. Well, it's worth thinking about. The nicest, genuinely kind husbands that I've seen have been treating their long-term wives with great respect. Something for some young women to think about before marrying.

So, the bigger the diamond, equals the more that a man loves a woman?
What if he can't afford a big honkin' diamond?
Is he supposed to go in to debt in order to "proove his love"?
Oh, that's right!
A person carrying any sort of debt is an undesirable trait in a mate.
My dad bought a ring that he could afford for my mom.
A small quarter carot diamond, and they were happily married for thirty years, until she passed away.
So, I ask again, does the bigger the diamond equal the more that a man loves a woman?

Forgot to include another 'lol'. Sort of said in a tongue-in- cheek sort of way..........A nice ring within reason, of course. But, it's always worth a try for young women. I guess we see too many of them driving around their boyfriends around here, paying for everything. Gee, guys are sure lucky now-a-days. I'm always saying: Reach for the shiny apple on the tree, not the ones on the ground. But it's just my way of telling teens to be careful, don't be the one driving around (and paying for) their boyfriends. Let the boys do 'something' to win a date. Etc., etc. Just my observations in my area. Not all areas and people are the same, for sure.
