| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 8/30/2008 11:27:54 PM | | The men you will find that actually want a woman that has children are the ones with children themselves. And not to find another Mother for them, but because a Woman without children is less likely to undrstand the challenges related to spending time with your own kids 3-4 days a week. He doesn't really want a woman that may think his kids are in the way. Even though it may be even more confusing when both parties have kids of their own, I think it brings along other attributes that a Man cannot assume from a Woman with no kids. | |

| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 8/31/2008 12:52:07 PM | I don't get it. It seems that, after 30, most women AND men already have kids. So it would be my guess that those women with kids looking to date other men with kids would have quite a large pond to fish in. Both parties know what it's like to raise a child and they immediately have something in common.
I think many of us seek someone with a lifestyle 'like' ourselves, so it's easier to relate.
I'm over 40 and have no kids and seek a younger woman that has no kids but is undecided/open. I'd give it a go. Seinfeld had em at 45. And Tony Randall, well, he's my hero. 
My pond, at least where I live, seems to be more of a puddle.  | |

| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 8/31/2008 9:18:51 PM | Either way from a personal standpoint. I have kids. Guys view my prof and they dont want kids. I get tired of hearing that. I mean ok sure my kids are very young even though I am in my mid 30's ish. Yes with me it is like raising them from scratch. Most my age have teenagers so they really arent there much except to disapprove of your exsistance. In my case I have two lovely children a 3 year old and a 5 year old. She told me to go to Wal-mart and get her a new daddy. We discussed the fact that they are ready for me to date and find a man. I know I am ready. But the man I have to find has to love kids and if we get serious then he has to become a father. I can't give them back. They are permanent. And they will always be a part of me. I would date someone with kids for the simple fact if thier kids are young then they are playmates for mine. If they are older then they are built in babysitters and roll models. (not that I would insist if they didnt want to help out). But I do expect if I ever find the right man that he could accept my children as his own and treat them the way he would treat a child from his loins.
Now that also brings up another aspect. When there are kids in the relationship there is bound to be baby daddies and baby mommas out there that tend to make relationships difficult. They get in the way. They can cause problems. Again this isnt one of my difficulties. I have sole permanent custody. Their biologic hasnt seen them in more than 3 years. He hasnt spoken on the phone to them in over a year. But I can see where this could be a problem if he was different. I mean my brother has 2 kids by his ex she is remarried with 3 more kids by her hubbie. My brother started dating a nice woman. His ex pumped his 2 for info on her weekends and would call and deliberately try to mess up his dates by constantly asking where he was did he know where this ones shoes were or that ones game controllers...etc. It was never ending. Lucky for him his new woman was able to accept all this in stride and didnt let it scare her off. | |

| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 9/1/2008 8:02:20 PM | yes of course i would love to date a woman with kids..thinking and saying that men wont date a yummy mummy is crazy talk it depends on her personality,presentation,attitude and outlook . probably simular or the same qaulitys a woman would look for in dating a man whom had children . then put a strategy in place of how descreetly or how quickly you let the kids know that you have someone you would like to seeing so the harmony of the house is not to upset.
fond regards, pbecool | |

| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 9/1/2008 9:18:50 PM | | They are everywhere. I know of one right now. If you are on a dating sight, best to have a great profile and pictures to boot. Guys are a visual being, we see before we read...sorry, that is just the way it is. How many words are in a playboy magazine...lol | |

| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 9/2/2008 12:42:33 AM | Yes! They do!! At least I do exist! Not dating anyone now, but , that's becouse I don't know any one here in Canada yet! I'm here for only 5 weeks and I have 1 year to go, so I guess I will have the chance to meet someone special, and if it happens to be you, a single mom, that's ok with me.But before I get to meet the kids, let'us get to know each other firts !! I would not want to give false hopes for any kid out there!!I would have my heart broken too!!! I love kids!! Take care, and yes, it may be hard to find, but we do exist!!!Keep the faith, you are doing agreat work! You are super mom!!! | |

| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 9/2/2008 10:23:06 AM | I had my marrieage ruined by my ex wife's kid. The kid was a real brat. I broke a huge rule in even dating this woman. I have a NO KIDS date policy unless they are on their own 9the kids).
In Canda , if a guy moves in with a woman and her kids, he is liable for child sup[port even thought he is not the real father.
A lot of guys like myslef are not daddy material and i do not pretend to be. I want a woman that has no kids. And they are scarce. Unfortunately, they are also the botttom of the dating pool.
One reason i gave up one women in my age group. | |

| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 9/2/2008 10:54:10 PM | Hi, first time for Me on the forums.... I have been a single Dad of three Kids for over ten years now.I find it VERY hard to find a Lady that understands that I have Kids.Same problem,everything starts out great and then they want to pull back for some reason.My two Boys are out of the house now so its just me and My 15 year old Daughter.I have dated Women that have Kids and I aways tried to make Her Kids feel as welcome as My own.Are some Women threatened by opening up with thier own Kids??? I guess its just hard all around.I try to be optimistic that there is someone for all of Us out there. Good luck to Us all.......... | |

| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 9/3/2008 2:32:30 PM | | I'd perfer to date a woman with a child, because I xan see how commited she is to putting kids first in the reletionship. Women who put the man before the kids turn mr off. | |

| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 9/3/2008 9:37:06 PM | | I seem to be finding a lot of men that think just because you have kids, that must certainly mean that you are in desperate need of sex, haven't had a man in your bed for years, and they are the one to get you out of your slump. I'd just like to find someone to send some adult time with, who understands that from 4:30 until 6:30 it's homework and dinner time, and who can show a girl a little respect. I live in a city of roughly 400,000 people...why is it like looking for a needle in a haystack! ARG!!! :) | |

| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 9/3/2008 11:29:13 PM | | i have four children and i have not had a problem meeting people on this site. i have actually went out with a few and they wanted more., than just a frienship with me. maybe thats what helps me. is i put i am looking for friends, then the person i am talking to might not feel obligated right away. like damn four kids.. but if they meet me as a friend and get to know me, my kids dont matter. i have had absolutly not one problem with it. | |

| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 9/4/2008 4:26:22 PM | | Well i'm 24 and have a 2 year old son! I have found that men will chat you up but as soon as they find out about my son they are gone! If at 24 i can't find a guy who is willing to take on a child is it only going to get harder as ashton get's older? Xxx | |

| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 9/4/2008 6:55:52 PM | I am a single parent to a little boy. He is my sweety. I cant honestly say men wont date women if they have kids because I haven't really tried until now. I am getting back to the desire to try the dating, marriage thing. I am actually looking for a man that has kids because I am really strong in family and I love children. Do you know what chats you can go on to talk with single parents with children?

| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 9/4/2008 9:26:56 PM | | I am one of those guys......I sorta prefer it sometimes. I have dated women with kids and it has been great. I am a part time dad (50%) and I know I find it hard to meet women between work (shift worker) and the kids....unless there are single soccer/baseball/swim moms. I live in a small town and it does make it very hard to find good quality women....so if they are out there.....chat me back. :) | |

| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 9/4/2008 10:20:32 PM | | I have been asking myself this about women. I have 3 kids of my own. They live with me full time and their mother has very little to do with them. I have met a few women but they always say they just cant get involved with someone with kids. | |

| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 9/5/2008 3:07:30 PM | Like its been said "we are out here". It seems that women are afraid to ask. even when you put it in your profile. It doesn't matter if they have kids or if they will accept men with kids. At my age (57) with a 6 1/2 yr old I guess I can understand the women that have already raised theirs and do not want to raise more. Well this is my story and im stickin to it | |
|
| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 9/5/2008 3:35:26 PM | | Is that really want you think. I am a completly self sufficient single Mum, I have a great job that pays well, do guys really think that all single mums are after some kind of meal ticket? I hope not or I'll never find a guy to share my life with! Why should I suffer because my daughters father "can;t cope" with being a Dad, pathetic! | |

| |
| do men actually exist that date women with kids?? Posted: 9/5/2008 6:14:06 PM | yes there is!!!!!!!!!! I am one of them I don't mind if they have children I am man that loves being a daddy and raising kids.
So keep your chin held high and try to really look , maybe your holding too high of standards for these men | |
