Posted: 8/16/2009 7:38:20 PM | "I can also tend to disreguard those with super short profile too. It says that they're disinterested, non-commital on what they want or just plan lazy. However, those that just joined are given a little more slack"
Brian..
I disagree..i've been on for a while. BUTT dont feel like devulging my soul to many men up here that im not that interested in anyway...
Im very interested, very commital and not lazy whatsoever just choose to keep it short...
and plus...i must enquire...whats the difference between you and me? I have everything you've mentioned as well and i would think it would be a no brainer to date me as well.... | |

Posted: 8/16/2009 7:47:06 PM | | I think this one was worded wrong. Golly. I do think your worthwhile to date and a no brainer hence why I asked you out. The point that I was trying to make is that single dads are well worth the investment in time, because of what they bring to the table. I did say that I take each person one at a time. Jenny as for your short profile, you post her on the fourms so I can get a better idea of who you are, and how you think. I am beginning to regret this post. | |

Posted: 8/16/2009 7:54:15 PM | Wow, your post really has been twisted around. Its a shame that people both male and female are categorized based on lifestyles or living situations. and that people tend to get bitter based on their own situations... BUT..MOST single parents raising children should realize what they have is irreplaceable. Some work harder than others for what they have. Then you have those that sit home, do nothing but reap with benefits. Everything I have, I own and like many others (both male and female) have done it on my own!
Some single fathers have it all together and are warm, responsible mature individuals that know what they are looking for in a mate. Then you have others that are lowlife scumbags and you wonder, how on earth were they awarded custody? Trust me, Ive seen it happen way too many times inthe courts.
People yes both men and women, YOU know what you are looking for in a potential partner, and you know what you bring to the table. If everyone would be honest with who they are talking to you would know ahead of time if he or she is worth pursuing. Most of us are all looking for the same thing, arent we ? Why do people make things so difficult and confusing ? Sorry, I too, may have gotten off of your original post.. | |

No normal woman will say that need a guy with a transportaion (it was in your list) it is assumed that a normal woman in your age has it and expects her partner to have it. We are not in HS any more. His own place???????? It is the same for your age group. The same for a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What type of womens' profiles you read when they say all that??????? At 16 it is a somewhat privelage to have your own car and your own place and a job but at 31 it is MANDATORY!
I'm sure you've seen the profile with the requirements in my age bracket with have a job. Have a car. Have your own home. I too would assume these would be normal things for a man to have however, the repeated posts with these things makes me question this opinion.
I know how manage my time. I go to work full time at 730 home by 5. Cook dinner play with my son and do the chores. By 8-10 durring the week I work on my graduate course. I can flex on that since it is done online. 10-11 I finish my cleaning. 11 I go to bed. On the weekend. is my time to catch up on things. I also work on my life insurance sales on the Weekends, this too is flexiable. It depends on the appointments that I make durring the week. Am I busy sure. However, I know how balance my time. I do somehow manage dating.
All of this is beside the point this thread isn't about me. | |

dont regret..
forums apparently are for debate..but of course misintrepetations are always up for easy grasping..so dont regret..i do understand what you were trying to say..but just realize us single mothers who do apparently differ from what many men's idea of a single mother are...can so very easily take offense.... | |

Posted: 8/16/2009 8:18:03 PM | To all the Single Moms out there I dedicate this to you...
Benefits of Dating a Single Dad:
1... He has his own Xbox360... He also has an Xbox, a playstation, A Nintendo, and his kids are glued to at least one of them at any one time so thay don't notice you are there...
2... His car never breaks down... but the motor is out of it at least 3 times a year... so you know when he tells you he can 'fix' your car that he thinks he can...
3... He appreciates you cleaning his place for him. He actually, prefers the way his mom does it, but she lives 12 miles further away AND in the opposite direction from the beer store...
4... His kids never have to ask you what you're drinking, they simply bring you a beer...
5... He knows 38 different ways to cook Kraft dinner... 4 of which the dog is still recovering from...
6... He knows how to wash his clothes, the bedding, the kids clothes, his sweat socks, and your nice scarf with the beer stain on it in the same load...
7... When the cat pukes up on the carpet, he knows how to mark the spot with a paper towel...
8... When you go out to dinner with him and his kids, he will let YOU take his daughter to the bathroom... now you know why you had a bad feeling when he bought her that 165oz cream soda and 3 chocolate bars...
9... He knows how to remove chocolate from a scarf with a pocket knife...
10. His dog thinks it's name is "Fcuk Off"
11. He will take you out for a fancy dinner.... at Chuckie Cheese's....
12. His buddies will flirt with you constantly making you feel oh so sexy...
13. You're comfortable in his house wearing a turtle-neck and baggy clothes... but primarily due to #12.
14. His satin sheets don't slide. Of course this is because they have several unidentifiable stains on them... most of which are still tacky....
15. Like the Scouts, he will teach you all about being prepared... next time you will bring, toilet paper, paper towels, rubber gloves... soap, a plastic bag... your own cutlery, a screwdriver to undo the bathroom door lock... and a cell phone...
16. No matter how old your car is, he will love it... just remember to drive around the engine block on the driveway on your way to taking him to the beer store...
17. Although currently happily employed at Dwight's Garage or some other manly job, you know he wants to be a driving instructor...or so it seems by the way he's telling you how to drive... on the way to and from the beer store...
18. He knows how to secure a car seat in your car with only a bungee cord and a vise-grip.
19. You get to see how he looks after his kids and how well he treats his friends... including the drunk guy face down on the hall rug....
20. His reflexes are honed to perfection.... He can grab your breasts, and kiss you in the split second his kid glances away and looks back at the videogame again...
21. He speaks highly of his ex. In fact, if he spoke any higher the cops would be called...
22. He is into sports in a big way.... Well, actually he's gaining weight sucking back beer and pizza on the couch.... while watching the game...
23. He's a cheap date. Beer and pizza is not expensive... and they deliver....
24. He's not going to criticise what you wear. In fact if you show up naked and bring beer he'll still be happy to see you....
25. His computer screensaver is a motivator. In fact if he doesn't shut it off so you don't have to look at that girls breasts you'll be motivated to throw his ass through the screen...
26. He's very good at recycling. When you got home, you realise that those undies you put on when you got out of bed in the dark actually belonged to the last girl... On the bright side, they fit... which is more than be said for your pair... There is a girl on her way home right now thinking that she really has got to lose weight...
27. He likes animals... and apparently bugs, too... they're everywhere....
28. He knows how to prepare food... in fact he's got a dead deer hanging on the back porch... and a Kraft dinner in the pot on the stove...
29. He has a sense of humour, when you asked him for his Cell Number he jokingly responds with "How did you know I was in prison?" ... at least, you hope he was joking...
30. He must be a great parent, he has all those people coming from Childrens Services asking him how he does things... He must give good advice or they wouldn't keep coming back...
31. He knows how to decorate cheaply......Who would have thought you could decorate a whole apartment with stuff you found on the curb... What is that smell anyway?
32. His parents will really like you...they want to take you with them, for your own good.... His mom keeps mumbling "You poor thing...."
33. He's very Green concious. He doesn't throw recyclables in the garbage. Actually, he never throws anything out...
34. He is very aware of safe sex. He keeps a box of condoms beside the bed. You never knew they came in lot's of 500. And Dayglo orange is so easy to find in the dark. And they have really simple instructions... "For Penal Use Only"
35. He actually wants you to get to know his kids better! In fact, he's got a night out with the boys tomorrow night, so if you could watch the kids....  | |

Posted: 8/17/2009 12:07:42 AM | You know really who cares about these trivial topics of single dad's, mom's , dog's, aligators or anything else along those lines!!!!!!!!!....... I Love being a single dad!! And I have a GREAT life!! So I really don't care to much what others have to say or whether they would want to date me or not...... WOOPY!!..... If not because I am a single dad my response today after further thought is THANK YOU!.. At least I have that truth and know they would NOT be in my children's best interest... A pretty good thing, don't you think!!
I am perfectly ok with just being dad!! and well ok and since my kids have no mom, being a little mom too:-)..... I am more concerned with finding a genuine 'real' woman!! I am tired of the gold diggers, players and the rest of the phonies out there, etc.. that pretend to love the kids for the bennefits that daddy has......

Posted: 8/17/2009 6:50:47 AM | Wow sweetness , you never fail to mention just how well off you are, perhaps you should have chosen a new user name that would save you time like "I'm rich" that way you wouldn't have to type. Or just leave a permanent cut paste option on your computer because everyone should be as well off as you. Like I have told you before stop confusing luck for hard work. Strike a pose.
To the op, I would have to agree that for a woman picking a single dad should be a no brainer. Chances are the guy is more apt to be what they should have been looking for in the first place, instead they are most likely guilty of having expected the ex to have miraculously changed into super dad but didn't.
Can't say the same for woman only because they (if my previous statement holds true) were trying to do it all - kids, job, etc. and got no support from the bio dad and could hold a grudge that may crossover into a new relationship. | |

Posted: 8/17/2009 8:41:54 AM | As I mentioned in another thread a while ago:
In addition to the extra money, which is USUALLY more than the woman makes, the WAY better toys, not to mention all the gifts and prizes you get to take home after divorcing your 'soulmate' single dad...
.... you get to play with his penis whenever you want....

Where in the fvck did i say that?
One doesnt need to be rich to be a responsible self sufficient adult that drives a vehicle, has their own place, and has employment and education in order, and loves their family.
Thats pretty average. | |

need a guy with a transportaion (it was in your list)
Depending on location a car is not needed in some areas...
Let's face it, a car in downton Manhatten is not as needed to get around as it would be in rural Manitoba... in a lot of downtown cores, taxi's ARE the main form of transportation...
Even where I am, I only need to drive once in awhile, a bike or walking gets me most places I need to go quite readily... | |

Posted: 8/17/2009 10:12:39 AM | Now i can get my money back fom that car dealership that charged me for a car i dont supposedly have, stop paying Geico, stop paying the state DMV for tags, and stop paying those obsecene gas prices, since i presumedly as a single mother dont have a car.
I can tell those pesky electric, water, and phone company people to get the hell off my back, seeing as i dont have my own place, and i can tell the county tax collectors to take a leap to hell for charging me property tax when everyone knows single moms cant have their own places.
Do you read what you type or is it enter and forget. And instead of actually adding anything constructive to the thread you took upon yourself to make sure we got the message that you own a car, a house but let's face it your job is a hobby at best.
Do you notice the difference in how single cp dads post and how single cp moms post?
Dads seem to be happier and moms seem to be always on the defensive my way or the highway slant. | |

Posted: 8/17/2009 10:49:27 AM | That was funny M_Church. Thanks for the humor.
I agree! Thanks M_Church, I read a few to my husband (who was a single father when I met him), and he got a good laugh out of them, too.

Chances are the guy is more apt to be what they should have been looking for in the first place, instead they are most likely guilty of having expected the ex to have miraculously changed into super dad but didn't.
That is exactly what I found attractive about my husband being a single dad when we met. | |

Posted: 8/17/2009 11:46:08 AM | | This post remindes me many posts in here where instead of a "single dad" they use "nice" guy. They also mention those things they have such as job, car, take shower every day, know how to cook an wonder why with such great things women are still not really interested. | |

Most single mothers don't look like they bike or walk anywhere.
So maybe that's another advantage of dating a single father! A greater percentage of more active parents. | |

Just got back from her two hour walk down to the park and back. It was pointed out to me that I need to lose some weight by an insightful person. So I've been going for 2 hour walks everyday with my lil one. I tell u pushing that stroller back up hill is a better work out then most.
Plus chasing after a toddler is great exercise.
I seldom drive my truck perfer to walk. | |

I disagree with that one...
At least where I am there are a lot of damned healthy looking ladies on bikes, with either kids in trailers... (got a get one for hauling beer) or the little ones on their own bikes... sure there ar some that would strain a bus if they got aboard... but near me is a bike path... and I must admit some of those ladies are in good shape .... | |
