Posted: 7/18/2009 12:16:30 PM | | I don't think that is true. I think it is because guys are worried that they may have to support anothers person children. I look at it though if you love the mother it is all part of the package.I don't think anyone plans on having children and the being left alone with them. I am having a hard time finding a woman on here because I am a single dad. | |

The problem is that you have kids. That means you have less "us" time. Get what I am saying.
Basically that whole my kids are my world phrase I keep seeing in women's profiles is a turn off.
If you have kids cool, but you gotta make time for your man. Otherwise expect being single till your kids are in college. | |

Marriage and Divorce:
Latest Stats Available
Here's a sampling of some of the most recently available statistics on marriage and divorce in Canada:
About 48.5% of the adult population in Canada was married in 2006 (as opposed to single, separated, divorced, widowed or living in common law). This is the first known time in Canadian history that the percentage was under half; according to CanWest News Service, the figure was 50.1% in 2001 and more than 60% during the 1980s.
The number of marriages in the country was 149,236 in 2006 -- down nearly 2,000 from the previous year, but up from 148,585 in 2004.
In 2006, there were 1,629,490 divorced Canadians -- or about 5% of the population. 941,306 (well over half) of the divorcees were female.
As of 2006, there were 1,414,060 single-parent families in Canada -- or approximately 15.9% of all families. Of the lone-parent families, 1,132,290 were headed by the mother. In 1971, the number was approximately 476,300.
There were 70,828 divorces in 2003 -- down from 71,144 in 2000.
More than one-third of marriages in Canada will end in divorce before the thirtieth anniversary.
A recent study from the National Population Health Survey shows that men between the ages of 20 and 64 are six times as likely to suffer from depression if they were divorced or separated, than if they stayed married. For women, the figure is 3.5 times as likely for the divorced or separated.
According to the same NPHS survey, 43% of women who have undergone a marital breakup (divorce or separation) had a substantial decrease in household income, while 15% of separated or divorced men had a financial decline.

There are many reasons why people, men and woman, don't wish to date single parents.
To touch on a few reasons:
* Innappropriate behaviour by the children
* having to deal with the ex all the time
* lack of discipline
* lack or respect for the parent
* unattractiveness (if the persons children are unattractive that might turn people away)
* number of children
* trouble making ex's
There are 100's of reasons why people avoid single parents. Sometimes its just because the person doesn't want kids. Maybe they thought it would be ok and then realise that its a nightmare. It can also be awkward for the person if they are not allowed to discipline the children, the kids catch on to this real quick and it can create quite a difficult situation for the person)
You need to remember that; for single people with no kids, the only thing they need to worry about is their own attraction for each other and whether they click together. When you involve kids into the situation then, not only do you have to click with the person you also have to click with the kids too..
Basically, some people can cope with raising other peoples kids and become a happy blended family and some people simply can not. | |

Posted: 7/19/2009 11:46:59 AM | yea i do tend to agree in wat slyeagle has said, it dont bother me if a guy has kids from previous relationship, but i dated a guy for few months and he had very young children, mine r all grown up, but i took to his kids and treated them like i would wan him to treat mine.
However it didnt work out for us, and it was kind of hard.....but to b honest i think i would think twice about datin a guy again with young children (am i makin sense) cos of that issue....wen they r older its easier cos they got their own lives as well, so u dont c them as much!!! god hope im makin sense lol cos it dont matter 2 me if they got kids or not, its just an opinion... | |

Posted: 7/19/2009 1:28:35 PM | | I'd honestly prefer dating somebody that already has kids as they understand what it's like when you have them and that things don't always go the way you plan. | |
