Well...if you want quantity over quality go ahead and date anything with a luke warm body...or, hold out for someone who truly does like your child and the thought of a child that they didn't birth....there's a gomillion women in the sea...and there's one that's right for you "and" your child.

That's a good way to put it. There's a bunch of women out there, but you have to wade through them to find the one that's right for both of you.

Personally I wouldn't mind dating a single father with children. At least then I then think that they might have a clue as to what it's like being a single parent.

it depends on the girl and the situation. i wouldnt mind dating a guy with kids but he would have to spend a little time with me. i understand you kids need to come first and they should. but i would need a little time with him. and of course i wouldnt mind spending time with him and his kids if he wouldnt mind but to your question some women see it as a turn-off but some also like that he has kids and spends time with them and sees it as he is a great father already so he would be a great dad if we ever had kids. hope this helped.

So many single ladies on here wanting kids. I assume it would be a breeze to find a partner and a mother for your family.

As a parent myself, I am only interested in men that can understand the issues that come along with parenting. I don't like dating men without offspring, I want a companion who can relate to the important facets of my life.

I personally have no problem with men that have kids. I have 2 of my own and would hope someone would accept me, after all we are a packaged deal!

I'm an older man with four teenagers all great fun kids. I would not post pictures of them on website for two
Reasons they aren't looking for a date or a mother. Two they very good looking and I'm not gonna pimp
Off there looks. I'll stand on my own feet. I prefer there company over most of the screwed up uptight people
That claim they laugh all the time are on meds bi polar etc get drunk and act like morons. Enjoy your kids if
The right person comes along great. And another thought why are all these people looking because at least
50% of the world must be screwy! And the other half are just halfscrewylol

Im ok with single dad but the number of kids too could be something a woman thinks about 1 or 2 or 3 whatever her choice is on her comfort level

Im a single father to 3 wee girls [...]
do women see this as a turn off?


Yes. Of course they do.

How would you even manage to spend time with a new person in your life, getting to know them and giving them the attention that they deserve, if you have to take care of three young daughters at the same time?

I prefer to date guys with kids because together you understand how to work together to raise your kids and date at the same time. It CAN be done if you really like the person. I love my kids but know that mama has to be happy too. BALANCE people. :)

Keep trucking you will find the right woman for you!!!

Depends on the person really. I have a 3 year old son and I seem to gravitate towards single fathers. Especially if I sense they put their children first.

Absolutly, I would totally date a guy who has kids. Those guys who are single fathers I think are more understanding of us women being single mothers and how hard it can be. They are more mature and more willing to spend time with you and your kids, they know you are a package deal.

Stating to what your saying lost of girls would rather date someone that has no kids but have you tryed asking girls that already have kids and will be willing to share their lives with someone else that may have also kids sometimes it's not what your looking for but where you look that is the key to find true love and romance and have the same point of view in Parenting too helps alot. As long as you take responsibility for your kids actions and not throw them in the arms of a total stranger to them just like that and expect her to be a mother for your children.

I think some women do. Try to find women with children around the same age as yours. I'm having a hard time finding men that would date a woman with my age kids. I have an 8 and 11 year old. Most the guys that seem to email me all have kids over 118 or no kids at all.

As a single mum of 3, I would actually prefer to date a single dad, why ? because they understand that life has its ups and downs, and that the ''happy ever after'' u thought u may have, doesnt always happen.

Life has its way of working out for the best, and in time you will someone whos right for u, and wants you, kids, warts and all!

Good luck in finding what ur looking for

I would definitely date a guy with kids. It does not bother me one bit. I would before that the ex drama would be under control and taken care of, but we all know that that sometimes cannot be avoided. I do think though that there is a certain time allowance that should be given/allotted before you introduce your girlfriend to your kids. I think its only fair to the kids, it stops alot of "in & out" activity of girlfriends of their lives. Too confusing I would think.

Good luck to all that are single parents and are on the search for love! My hats off to ya!

I would date a single mom with kids in a heartbeat-if she was right for me. I think one BIG factor is age.
At my age it seems most women interested in me have children that have already moved out -or will be graduating and moving on soon. They are excited about the independence this gives them.
I have had a few women tell me straight up online, that with my boys being so young (7 and 9) it scared them to think of raising children all over again.

So be it.

Not everyone feels that way. So chin up!

I had a very nice date,in the Spring, that I met on POF but it looks like it's going to take at least one more! lol

any takers?

Everyone has great advice about
this. But, one pick a girl based on
your needs not hers.
If she doesn't understand that they
come first then maybe she really
doesn't have a fiber of care in her.
Its frustrating I'm sure.
But there are girls out their
That understand and not
necessarily women with kids.

im a single mom of 2 wonderful kids and i would rather date a guy who had kids that way they know how kids are and if someone doesn't want to date you cause you have kids then why would u want them in ur lives anyway i think a single father is a turn on for me it just goes to show you how sweet loving and caring they are
