He said he thinks it's an 'automatic defence mechanism' against women who quickly say they want to have kids.
'Is it wrong not to be completely genuine?,' he asked.
'Like it's hard for me to explain - I don't need a kid, but I need commitment, but I wouldn't mind a kid if there was a commitment.'
He later deleted part of the thread, but not before fellow commenters could slam his behaviour on the forum.
'It's wrong to not be honest with women, especially if they are looking to find love/marriage and that's not what you are looking for,' one female commenter posted.
'Just tell them what you wrote on here. Women would appreciate that more than lying to them.'

Another wrote: 'Why are you shooting yourself in the foot like this? What a bizarre way to waste your own time.
'You could just find a child-free woman and, like... not have to dump them down the road. On second thought, don't. We don't need liars like you muddying up our pool.'
A third said: 'This is wrong. It is a waste of her time and your time.'
While the man was almost universally condemned, there were a few who offered a sliver of advice.
'There are plenty of women out there who don’t want kids,' one person wrote.
'Find one of them and just be honest! Things will work out for the best if you are just upfront from the start.'
