Why would a guy keep off the "want children " section on his dating profile?

I'm on hinge, 35 and i noticed most of the guys who match with me either don't want children or can't or leave off that part. The last one who was interested in me, who I've been doing extensive video calls with but never met, was charged in his twenties for child...and his was left off. I found out after looking him up. We never met.

Now i am scared, as a other person is interested but left it off his profile too.

Is it that they more desire women in their thrities cause they think we don't want kids?

There can be alot of different factors here.

First off many guys with online profiles leave them incomplete and barely get beyond ASL. Probably alot of guys here with profiles half finished too.

Second you have people like myself who would love to be a parent but understand for many in or generation it is not feasible and some see examples of people struggling who did anyway with the means to support a family.

Also I am in an age bracket where having a kid with someone my own age starts to get into potential health risk territory.

And as others have mentioned for some guys that is a private conversation in a serious relationship, not something to broadcast to random people online.
