Some women do, some don't. but, in my humble opinion, My son is my everything and, although he has a mother [no matter how psycho she may be at times LOL], he doesn't need another.

Besides, I'm a kid at heart anyway so, they'd BETTER like kids he he

I think that men and women are actually quite similar in this area. Some get turned off by the fact that you have parental responsibilities and aren't always available, some have kids of thier own and understand just fine, while others are looking for a ready made family so that they can step in and be the parent they've longed to be. Sometimes you have to watch out for those, especially if they try and make it happen too quickly. If you've been dating for a while, ya get all kinds. Most are pretty cool about it, for the one's that arent....just say NEXT! There's no shortage of potential mates/dates out there. Don't settle.

i to am a single father, i have had my daughter(6) for nearly 5 years now. i think that more fathers should have what it take to get there kids, or at least try and spend as much time with them as they can. and good on ALL the fathers out there that do

and do woman go out with men that have kid's. from my point, only if they have children of their own, so to all the women out there that don't have kid's give the men that do a chance, you will find that we are more loving than the men that don't have kids.

Personally, I wouldn't date a guy who didn't have children. (Just my preference, of course) Being a parent teaches you to be strong, empathetic and patient, etc.

I am a single Mom. So I have experienced the same thing. They either try to hard to get to you through your kids or they are not interested in your family.Hey its not every guy or gals dream to meet a person with a family, but if they are truly interested in you they will accept
and try to make it work. And if they don't then move on, they are not worth it.

I agree,
The ex-wife can manipulate the children into a hate factor against the step mom.
I've resolved to limit my dating over the past few years. The children are older now and see through the story telling. I did not want to put my children or some unsuspecting woman through it. As far as keeping the ex-wife in check. Good luck.
Family Justice and the Ministry do not want to hear any complaints from men.

I would prefer a single Dad over a man with no kids...they know what being a single parent is all about and can relate.

Ni I dont mind at all, I actually would welcome a single full time dad into my life before a single man.
1. Who would understand the difficulties of raising children single handedly
2. Who would understand the deep devotion of love to ones children
3. Who would understand the frustration of the school run.
4. Who would understand the balancing of life
5. Who would understand the exhaustion of the midnight run
6. Who would understand the saddness of childrens pain, suffering and saddness.

My children are my life they only have me and will always be number one on the list.

I have to agree with you, ladyfromthepeg. That's all I am interested in, so we can help each other out with our kids, but there don't seem to be too many of them here, at least not many in my area. And then finding one who is older than I am, (big big preference there, like a requirement, as I'm not looking to be my man's second mommy, or for him to compete with my kids) and who has kids, younger kids, too, as my youngest is under a year old, that is almost impossible. Teens are ok, too, as I have a few myself. I've even written one guy that I really like (at least from his profile) and he had me on his favorites list, but he never read the email, didn't delete, it, so now I'm wondering what to do. But honestly, he'd be perfect, older than I am (his 52 to my almost 40), with a son, who is 7 years old, and he's even close to my area. And yes, he has checked his email since I sent it, he just didn't read the one I sent him.

My personal reference is dating a man who has a child(ren) AND HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY. (not shipped off somewhere lol ) I have the upmost respect for single parents because I am one.

i think what you guys need to be looking at is the type of women in general. if she is the type to party then the odds of her accepting things is slight at best. a lot of times it is not the fact of being a single father that is a turn off but the baby's mama drama that is. For the guys that are a true single parent it is a credit and not baggage as some would say. At my age i am not sure if i even want kids they take so much energy to raise from birth but getting to watch any child grow is a gift. there are alot of women (not girls) who gladly welcome single dads. the key is to make us comfortable with the fact that we are not your babysitter. i take every oppertunity to be with all children; in a relationship it is literally the sweet icing on the cake if they have a kid.

Hi, I am a single dad of a 15 year old daughter. I have raised her since she was a year and a half.

I have had one relationship during this time and it turned out terrible. The women was great. However, we both had the same train of thought. Our children came first and that is what evenually led to the end of our relationship.

Now days, my time and money is spent teaching her the skills she needs to be a responsible adult.

Most women love the idea that single dads are responsible, caring, loving and giving. However, they are not number one and that just doesn't fly all the time.

I have been very careful not to leave my daughter with just any babysitter while I went out. So I wasn't able to go out a lot. It seems that all the qualities that single moms possess towards their children does not sound really good when they are said to them.

Like most single moms, money has not been something I have had a lot of, which means that any money that I did have had to go to raising my daughter. So , I could not afford to wine and dine women.

I am a single father, I am raising two by myself, yes its hard and yes i would love abreak as well, to judge another is wrong in itself... I think we all have a right to our opions, but show keep our mouth shut, when there is no point...... a man to step up to his responsiblity, sounds like a good man to me, i know alot of woman who let thier mom or sister raise thier kids for years, and that seems to be ok with everyone..... but for a man, who raises his kids. you think hes not wanting to better himself, im proof that a man can raise his own and better himself, plus not only that.... i know several ladies who raised thier own and went back to school and better themselves, it just takes a littlelonger......thanks

No Doug. We do not mind men with children. If fact us Women have the same issues when it comes to dating men, and find ourselves rejected as well because we have our children. Not everyone is the same, You'll find someone that will except them as the whole package but till then if they dont like it then they're not for you :)
