Posted: 8/17/2005 1:01:10 PM | | I am a single mom, I would rather date or have a relationship with a single dad than a man that has no kids...I think that single dads have something that other men do not have..and can relate to us single moms a lot better!! | |

Posted: 8/17/2005 7:25:16 PM | | If you could see it I am giving you a standing applause, and just so you know I completely feel ya, my ex had the same little(huge) drug problem, but things are working out for me I just wish the state system in Texas was as accomidating as yours, sure the assistance is there but once you make more than 20k a year all you can qualify for is medicaid wich does help but after daycare and bills we still live like I was making minimum wage, just without all the food, lol, anyway things do work out in the end and are always looking better. Thanks for the thread it shows just how valuable a single father is and will always be. | |

Posted: 8/17/2005 7:28:08 PM | | I think that all single parents are FABULOUS and if anything I am attracted to single fathers as we have more in common than with someone who doesn't have children and you definately tend to appreciate them and love them way more once you have your own :) | |

Posted: 8/24/2005 12:09:06 AM | Literally fell onto this thread...... and wow
I honestly have to say that to all that have posted in here, I have a higher respect for alot of men now than I did 15 minutes ago. I honestly didn't think there was that many single fathers out there (or in pof land lol)
My father raised my sister and I, and he did a fabulous job, he's like a best friend and instilled great morals in us that I now pass onto my son.
I am a single mother of a 9 year old and he is the love of my life. I know how hard it is, how much patience, understanding and love..... it's a daily occurance and a great one !
Reading some of the posts, I noticed that the majority of the men said they 'look' for the women in here that have children ....... I think the majority of us single women do the same. We seem to have a better understanding and respect each other more than dating someone without children.
Just want to say...... AWESOME thread Daven..... and to all the single dads out there... keep up the great work..... your all awesome and goodluck in finding your 'fish' :)
goddddd now I can't get that d*mn SPONGE BOB song outta my head (thanks Nix) lol stands up and does my sponge bob dance.....  | |

Posted: 9/5/2005 11:12:45 AM | | Yep we have all those traits and a few more. At the very least they know we're not afraid of long term commitment. I would much rather date a single parent also, or someone that really wants to have kids. | |

Posted: 9/5/2005 3:47:58 PM | | I am happy to see that there are so many other single dads that feel the same way. I think single dads look for a lot of the same things in who they date as single moms. A lot of people don't realize that single dads put up with and go threw a lot of the same things single mothers do. I am just glad to see all of the other fathers that are stepping up to there responsibility, because we all know there is a lot that don't! | |

Posted: 9/5/2005 7:14:19 PM | I couldn't imagine dating anyone else!! I'm not prepared to have more kids so I guess I assumed any guys that wanna date a single mom would be a single dad.. ??? No?
I think that I would have so much more in common with a single dad than a single guy. Also for the most part, I agree with craven on all the qualities a dad has. Being a parent is great, being a single parent can be tough but rewarding/. | |

Posted: 9/6/2005 7:49:21 PM | Great post!! 
I too have always thought that as a single Mom it would be easier to date a single Dad, or at the very least a man who is involved with kids regularly (be it job or volunteering) there are so many facets to our lives that truly "single" people just don't understand.
Schedules can change instantly, my kids are first and foremost in my life, and some tend to resent that. I can't always rearrange my schedule to "make" the time. Sometimes dates need to be planned for later in the evening so I can do my thing with and for my kids.
Can't change the fact that I am a single woman who has full time custody of her kids with NO involvement or help from the ex. That's my life.
I give single dads a TON of credit for being involved, then again it wouldn't take much to improve on my ex!! LMAO If you wanna come along for the ride and be an example, you're more than welcome in our lives, if you aren't it's your loss.
I think there are plenty of single parents that deserve soooooooooo much because of all the sacrifices we make. Shows a lot of character and strength for the people we are.
Now if only some  would recognize that!! LOL

Posted: 9/6/2005 8:01:53 PM | | well yea women usually think that way.. But i have seen some damn good fathers some better than the mothers as a matter of fact i have a friend whos like that.. If you can do all those things i think ur great.. and about the love thing.. i dont think u actually have to have the kid to know. I have not yet had one but i have lost two due to misscarriages and it was the worst feeling in the world. I felt like my heart got ripped out and has yet to be replaced.. I like your whole single dad thing its nice.... | |

Posted: 9/6/2005 8:51:43 PM | My hats off to you single fathers. I wish my ex was a 1/5 of the man you folks are. You are truly some special people.   .
As for dating a single father. I've never had the chance. I've never met one, and living in a large college town, it's been rather hard attempting to meet any. But I would rather date a man with children as they have the understanding when it comes to kids. The last man that I had a serious relationship (and the only one since my divorce) did not have kids, and came in trying to be this high and mighty authority figure. Needless to say, things didn't work out.
Keep up the great work you guys. True gentleman you are!!! | |

Posted: 9/7/2005 1:26:24 AM | | Hi guyz, I just spent the last 20 mins. or so reading this thread. And wanted to say that Im so glad to see all these single fathers come together, It really brings a warmness to my heart to find that there are many more of us than I thought. I too am a single father of three, 5, 4, and 2. There mother left us 3 days after Christmas last year, and we heard from her 2 times. I also really like to hear that there are women out there that like to date single fathers, kinda keeps a good hope for the future. Good job guyz keep up the great fathering. | |

Posted: 9/7/2005 9:53:10 AM | I’m glad I found this tread, I was starting to think that maybe I was one of a very rare breed. I’m a divorced dad of two wonderful boys (7&10) and I just got full custody this summer. All I ever hear about in the media is about dead beat dads and at least here I can see that I’m not alone. Never was really alone with all the support from the friends and family but it’s comforting to see that the ladies appreciate this as well. Gotta give a round of applauds  to all the single/divorced dads out there doing what we do ‘cause we love our kids.  | |

Posted: 9/7/2005 9:29:32 PM | | I became a single father at 20. Pretty scary stuff but yeah im totally into different types of girls now. The truth of the matter is im not even done growing yet I think. I just wish i could meet someone either online or in person instead of going to one of those silly clubs with a bunch of kids playing games. I feel so out of place although I shouldn't be. Geeze yeah god forbid i ever go for child support from someone working at a burger joint. Oh well. Good for u man hope you meet her. I thought i did but she was 10 years older it was amazing but of course i have a child and although on the surface she was fine with him i think ultimately it wasn't what she had in mind... Who's there for me when my son goes to sleep? nobody just a computer. haha. | |

Posted: 9/7/2005 11:57:39 PM | | Yes, Great thread Draven single fathers are the bomb. I am a single father of a now 14 year old and 19 year old that has flown to coop. But I raised them for the most part on my own. Mom was there but wasn't there for the first couple of years of the 14 year old but later left us all behind for a younger guy that wasn't able to give her half of what she had before. But it has been a rewarding experience and I've loved every moment of it, even the stressful moments. Kids are totally worth it. I wouldn't change a thing, aside from being single for so long. :( | |

Posted: 9/8/2005 5:25:45 AM | Great thread. I'm very glad I ran into it. I'm a single dad that feels like he will be single for eternity, but that's oka', I enjoy friday nights with my little girl a heck of a lot more than I'd like them with anybody else.
One more thing, too good a post... I blame you all for me being late to work this morning. Be strong, raise them right and remember, someday they will be taking care of us. | |

Posted: 9/8/2005 8:23:39 AM | | I never knew the enjoyment of being a parent until I became a SINGLE parent. 3 daughters, all into sports, can be very hectic. I can't describe how we've bonded in the past 2 years, and we have all learned to work together as a team. I know its impossible to be a mother and father at the same time, but it's working in our case---it has to. I find that the women I attract are much more compassionate! We all deal with life's curve balls, sometimes they happen for a positive reason. I know mine did! | |

Posted: 9/8/2005 1:12:54 PM | that is encouraging to here. I have had my challenges finding someone who really appreciates a good father. I have been divorced six years and not once missed my weekend visitations. My children dont have to even think about wheather daddy is gonna cancel on them.... I put alot of time and energy into my boys and try to teach them charecter and intergrity. There is many expenses that go with that responsibility and may not always have the resources to go out on a drop of a hate. Would like to here your thoughts.
