I also find that it is the other way around. It is quite difficult to find a woman that is interested in having a traditional family. I have also found that its not really what is inside of a man that interests many women. Its the exterior that has the most dramatic affect on women. "Woman Seeks Good Guy" is more of a cliche. It really should read "Woman Seeks Hot, Wealthy Man For Fun".......Guys if you don't believe me, take two profiles that read the same thing and put different photos up of different guys. Or even put up a photo of a "hot" guy that says a bunch of BS and another with a decent profile with an average guy and see what happens. Don't just take my word for it. But I guess both sexes are guilty, I just get tired of hearing that men are the bad guys. There are a LOT of good MEN out here! And YES we do date women with children.

Is it good for parents to take kids on dates? Even after dating a while? I think its more healthy for the parent to be a parent when they have the children and not worry about dating until they have gotten to know the other person will remain for a long time. Its confusing for the children to have a revolving door of dates.

I agree warriorguy. I have dated women with children before and they are often surprised that them having kids doesn't scare me. I love kids and want to have some of my own someday so accepting someone elses isn't that big of a stretch for me. The problem I run into is that while some women might be ready and willing for a new man/father type figure in their lives and kids' lives, not all women feel that way.

I prefer to date women who have children, but two is my limit. I have children who are a very big part of my life and I have found from past experience that a woman who has children and is a good mom is more likely to accept my children and my relationship with them, so yes, there are men out there who will date women with kids.

Yes we do...well i do...i would prefer a single mom...i love kids...i have two myself
And a good mom is easier to spot than a good woman...the type of mom you are is a good measure of the type of person and or life mate you would be.
And sometimes a child is easier to read than an adult and so the behavior and personality etc of the child can help a man determine what type of woman he is dealing with.
and of course as single dad i would want an experienced good single mom as a role model for my children too. I feel some women without children cant really relate to being a parent and are ...perhaps in some cases, more self centered.

I am not sure, I have been asking myself that for a while, guess it depends on the age of the man and where he is in his life, I am intrested in dating , my kids are grown part are still a big part of my life as well as my grandchildren, and I find that scares most men. Its not like I am asking them to look after or raise any children ,just accept them as part of me. Most men I find at middle age are looking for a plastic barbie doll to show off on their arm at events, guess its their loss. So if you do find a place to meet real men, please let me know,lol.

I feel sorry for some men who do date women with kids because i have learned from some of the women's replys on this site or should i say fourm's are just down right hateful and demanding TO MUCH from a person it's like men, and everybody has to 110% PERFECT to even talk and be with her.

I know if i was a man i would like hell from some of the single moms on this site NOT!!! all single moms are like those are but some of them are and it's sad that we acturally have people that exsit in this world, who act/treat others the way they are doing on the threads.

So I figure I'd weigh in on this topic:

Dating a single mother for the first time is a scary thing to get into as a man (I know this because my last girlfriend was a single mom). Dating is complicated enough, there are no set rules but, most of us have figured out some general ideas but, when you throw a kid into the mixture it just adds a bunch more unknowns. How do you react to the kid misbehaving? How do you act towards the mother around the kid? It's just more confusing then dating normally is.
Having said that, I had a great time with my ex and her kid, in fact we are still friends and I go over just to visit her kid. Personnally, I would have no problems dating another single mom, as long as they are not looking for some one to be their "baby's daddy".

that is very sweet of you to say that, but most times like i have found men find out that i have four kids and i never hear from them again, but your exactly right its a good thing to find another single parent with kids it sometimes makes it easier,but only if the other partner is not attached....i sure wish i could find someone that would accept me with my kids... its me there gonna be with not just my kids....

I agree with you lol because thats the way i look at it because its me N him or him N her they are going to be with and be in their lives no guy acturally gets with a woman just because they want to be closer to that woman kid, and just like some of us women dont get with a man just so we can be closer to his kid.

I have two young boys myself and i know i would rather date a woman that has kids this way i know how she is with children. i find myself a little more picky at my age because of my kids and who i think would be great with them. I may be doing it all wrong and thats why im still single lol.

I hope this helped

Funny, that seems to be exactly what I have been searching for. A single mom with children around my sons age. Being a widower, the shoe is on the other foot for me. Although I am 46, a young 46. I have a 7 year old son, so I am always involved with doing things for him. My wife waould be 35 today, but most women that seem to be interested in me are my age or older and their kids are grown or teenagers and they do not wnat to be involved with another younger child.

Just so you know I actually perfer a woman with a child as she is more likely to be serious and less about the games.

I see that there are PLENTY of decent men responding to this question. I hope this settles some things. Its not really that MEN don't date women with children, it may be that the woman with the children are not WANTING the men that date women with children. I would hope that women would be upfront about how many children they have with a guy in the beginning (and be PROUD that they have them) so that there is no confusion later on. And if you complain about the men just wanting sex.......Then don't have sex until you KNOW they won't go anywhere.

I just wanted to say i couldn't agree more about what you posted because your right NO man may be perfect but NO woman is perfect aswell so how come women on this site downsize a man over his faults and think NOBODY should say a world when a WOMAN, makes the same mistakes and has the same faults.

i havent noticed any women who would steer away from me because i have a child.. if anything it impresses them.

the ones who don't like kids are generally high maintenance or self absorbed and not my type anyway.

I agree with you peple who run from us/anyone because they have a child has alot of growing up to do and alot of issues they need to work out i mean your never going to find a woman/man who is perfect, and if you choose date a woman/man with kids than thats your business.

And there isn't always going to be a man/woman who runs from you just because you have a kid and why is it always the "childs" fault that we can not find a man or anybody who wants to be with, us maybe it is all OUR fault that they run from us.

I agree with both sides male and female.........Im a sinlge mom with 2 kids and there are women/men out there that just want someone to help with everyday livin expensies and there are women/men that have done it all by themself that have all ready proven that they dont need anyone to help.they just want someone to care and love them for who they are to share there lives with ...So when a guess is asked do single men date singles mothers Im sure the answer is yes for both parties.......just keep in mind for all those out there its very easy to fall in love with children and very easy to fall out of love with the parents .......so if your single and start or are datin a single parent perhaps until things are right were you both want them to be you should try just to act like friends around children.....because we bring them in to this world doesnt give us a right to **** them up with different partners

It is a shame that some of the single moms/dads give us all a bad name when were NOT all like half of those single parents ye we love/care for our child but there is room left and time for people who want to, get togeather or just go see a movie/bite to eat and i have met some guys, not on this site but around here who acturally do NOT mind if the woman brings along her child.

I so agree not to say that there are alot of people that give good parents bad names..I think its more or less one girl or one guy has datin a single parent and it didnt work for some reason or other and instead of sharin the blame its easier to blame the other party......I thinks its great that there are guys out there that are ok with woman/men bring there kids out with them

Yeap i think so aswell it's nice to see that not everybody is against single parents or blameing their kids for the reason why they can not get a date i mean really how come grown people have to blame their babys/kids for the reason they are still single or can not get a date, i mean our kids/babys have NO say so in our lives and can NOT control our lives.


Good luck to all the single dads/moms who acturally want to give others a chance because it seems as if now days there are not so many out there that would give others a chance.

I totally agree with you! Having children puts a totally different perspective on life and what is really important. Children are honest and when you observe the child/parent interaction, you can tell what that person is like! Children mimic thier parents!
