| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/23/2007 7:58:21 AM | | Well in there defence i would need to ask a few questions. What kind of dad are you? How often do you see your kids? When you mentioned that you had kids did you tell her right off the bat that you had kids or was it a simple slip of the verbal tongue shall we say. I think in most cases it depends on how the subject is addressed and if the woman feels that you are sincere in a relationship with her and your kids ! Some men tend to want to hide the fact they have kids or sometimes they tend to use the kids to get more sympathy dates. This is not a generalization of all men it is only of the men that i have been in contact with. Now in your case you may be sincere and the women are the ones who are not interested for the simple reason that raising someonelses kids is hard to do . Well take care for now | |

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/23/2007 4:09:49 PM | I'm a single father who has been raising his 13yo son since he was 2yo. I don't see it as a hassle to meet people or an inconvenience in my life, in fact I love the set up my son and I have. There's never any yelling or doors being slammed and so I made the choice a long time ago that peace of mind and happiness far outweighed loneliness. | |

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/23/2007 8:43:48 PM | | i wouldn't mind if a guy i was dating had a kid(or kids). however from experince dealing with my ex, and being told the things he says about me... i would be cautious to believe any excuse he gave me for why he isn't allowed to see his kids or some such thing. I would need both sides of the story. | |

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/23/2007 10:03:14 PM | | As a woman who was a single parent for years, my kids are adults now. I found guys were not all that into the ready made family either. Personally if I met the right guy I would accept the whole pkg if it was love. I think being a parent is one of the hardest jobs there is and being a single parent shows me that a man or woman have tenacity/grit/and heart...all great qualities that I think are worth looking a little deeper at. | |

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/23/2007 10:04:35 PM | | What kind of man offers to take care of you and your daughter if you will only give up your son b/c he could not get along with him. Guess who lost on that one. It certainly was not my son. | |

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/24/2007 9:47:57 AM | Most women don't like to deal with men who have kids or have custody because they don't want to deal with the baby- momma drama. That's a major turn- off so the first question usually is... is the mother around? and then do you get along and how involved is she?
No woman wants to enter into an unstable environment and deal with another unstable woman. If your ducks are in order and she still isn't feeling you.. move on. She wasn't the one for you. | |

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/24/2007 10:22:58 AM | welcome to the world of the single parent!!! lol I would love to meet a single dad, that way, everything stands half a chance of being equal and both parties have the same 'baggage' and are both in the same field!! and considering my son's father has refused point blank to have anything to do with his son since my lad was 2, seeing a single dad tells me that they are not scared of facing up to their responsiblities and know how to be a real man!!!!
Sadly, I have never had the oppotunity of dating a single dad yet, but I would welcome the idea with open arms, possibly becuz i am very maternal aswell, and love all things family lol | |

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/24/2007 2:09:56 PM | Why should they worry about the Ex? The Ex that walks away from parental responsibility is not worth a consideration by a future potential partner, surely? | |

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/24/2007 3:15:51 PM | | Domesticated me...I am sorry to hear about your illness and have so much respect for dad's who make the decision to raise their children...My daughter., who is 14, decided to live with her dad and I was so grateful they were going to have the opportunity to really spend time together! | |

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/24/2007 9:01:33 PM | this is a very old post but seems to keep going. In my profile, I insist on it!! I have 3 children at home and the "single" guys dont get it. My kid come first, I expect their kids would too. Single guys want you to sneak out in the middle of the night (duh, and leave the kids alone). they are selfish! Dad's espically ones that have full custody, are the best, they know what it is like to juggle everything and know what it is like.
Who knows maybe I have the brady bunch envy!

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/25/2007 1:57:45 AM | | Men with kids show that they are responsible and are more inclined to not play games that is if they arent a dead beat dad!!! | |

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/25/2007 3:18:15 AM | | Sorry to burst your bubble but plenty of men aren't interested in women with children either. But, better to find out earlier and move on. Being a parent is a noble pursuit and one that does not receive due recognition. Parents are raising the future. Take heart, some woman will see you for yourself and as the parent that you are. All the best. | |

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/25/2007 11:31:34 AM | | Thank you very much i don't plan to be a mother anytime in my life and want no relationship or to date a guy if he has kids. The worst is when they suddenly tell you they have kids after a few conversations. Its really annoying and i wish they would tell girls this in the first coversation about the kids so we know to move on and look for someone else without kids!! | |

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/25/2007 1:28:05 PM | I agree with ramcharger....
As a single mom to 2 kids....i would prefer dating single dads as i cannot have anymore children of my own.
Always wanted a big family and the only way to fulfill that is to meet mr right with kids full time.
Take care and good luck in your search. | |

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/25/2007 1:44:52 PM | | As a single parent raising 3 boys by myself I am having a tough time finding a date.I think I would have a easier figuring out how to splitting Atoms easier than finding a woman that is for dating a guy with 3 kids.But,I do understand why they don't it is alot of baggage,and my kids come first. | |

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/25/2007 2:01:56 PM | hi it takes a single person rasing children to know what its all about. of course it can be difficult to meet people im a single mother... i think that if women out there arent willing to take on your kids aswell then she isnt the one for you.. see i met someone and then my son hated him... (kids are the best judges)...
well men out there keep trying most of us are in the same vote just keep your kids first mwah hugs | |

| Do women mind single dads with kids Posted: 10/25/2007 2:08:55 PM | i would enjoy getting to know a single dad with children im a single mother with 4 boys and thats usually a turn off to guys that want to go out with me i think single men that raise children are special people and its to bad that they get treated the way they do sometimes keep your head up way to go god bless you | |
