I know what you are saying. I am just naive....wish the system made the decisions for the right reasons.

I have a very close friend who does not have "custody" (for all the term is worth??) and he is definitley the best choice for a full time parent. He has his daughter most of the time and surely has more impact on raising the child.

I just love the REAL dads and their sincerity.

Neither are some of the women anyone that has beeen through this situation knows that in the last few years the courts have been granting 50/50 custody more and more. And also family law has went more to the lines of mediation rather than have a judge or court decide custody. If it does end up in the courts it is because the Parents of the children are not thinking of the children only spit and hate for the X partner. This is all in case point that custody battles are becoming fewer and fewer.

I think that is not true for alot of us,myself i love kids and dont have any so if i meet a guy with kids thats great.The inportant thing is they have a great relationship with them and are a responsible dad,and i find thats a great quality in a guy.i really respect them for being a good dad.no matter what age the kids are,they will always be their babies.

goood point not all men who get custody are good..

On another point I choose not to meet any guy that has kids ..mainly i don't want to be the stepmommy .. yuk ..

hard enough to start a relationship then you add children now you gotta be liked by more than one person..... too much darn work if you ask me.

In my case it's true. Sorry if that offends anyone, but I'm being honest.

I have 2 sons, and in a couple of years they'll be moving out on their own (yay!). I've raised them to be respectful and responsible...it was a long hard fight

I don't want any more kids of my own (I'm looking forward to my kids eventual flight from the nest so that I can do some travelling/vacationing/exploring on my own) and I certainly don't want to have to deal with raising anyone else's.

I've done my time.

Wow! I'm surprised by some of the replies on here.

Just because a man is a father, it doesn't have anything to do with whether or not he's a good man.
That's kind of like saying if someone is divorced, they can't make a partner happy. There are good parents and bad parents. I'm attracted to someone because of their personality and(yes) looks.
If a woman has kids, I'm not going to skip reading their profile. I don't think many people here are looking for new parents for their kids. I think most of us are searching for someone for ourselves.

Not for me this is not true. I love kids. Had three of my own, have 7 grandchildren and 40 that I work with every day and would die to protect all of them.

Kids are a constant source of entertainment and wonder and if you listen to them often enought they will teach you to appreciate the simple things in life.

I LOVE KIDS!

I will not date a guy with kids under the age of 25, my kids are grown and out on there own and I am still young, I find alot of guys my age have younger children :o) Its just my preference, everyone had different preferences, some guys will not date women with children, cannot hold that against them. We all want to find someone who is the perfect fit for "us"

For me, it's not that I don't like men with kids, it's just a personal choice not to date them. I don not have children of my own, and this is a first that I want to experience with someone who will be able to have that first with me.

Also, loving a man means loving his children also. I don't think any true relationship could work out if you did not love your partner's children too. That's a lot to ask. I find it hard enough just figuring out one person, and loving him, and making all of the needed adjustments and comprimises, etc. for that one person. If he has children, I would doing this x2, or x3 or x4, depending on how many children he has. I just don't forsee being able to do that at this point in my life.

Just my two cents.

I agree with you signgirl. It takes an extraordinary man to raise his child/children on his own.
Same with women that raise their child/children on their own.
There are people out there that will except you for who you are.
If you can't be upfront and honest about your life how can you excpect anybody else to be upfront and honest about theirs.
Alot of people here are just in it to see how many people they can date or whatever but there are some that actually want to find somebody to share their lives with.
When I see in a guys profile that they don't like children or women with children that makes me think..."what kind of person are they"?
Oh well , to each his own

My daughter is living with me. But I don't think there is anything extraordinary about myself. You just do it 'cause you're dad to someone special.

Kids change the dynamics of any possible relationship. If your a person that is accustomed to having freedom, dating someone with kids would limit that. On the flip side , people without kids sometimes can't deal with someone's parental responsibilities. Some people just plain don't like kids.

Personally I wouldn't get into a relationship withh someone with young kids, like under ten, as my days of dealing with young kids are behind me.

The thing is that if someone knows they don't want to be a parent, or more importantly a step-parent, you really want them to skip over your profile when you have kids, even if you aren't the custodial parent. Being a step-parent is a hard job, and often quite thankless especially in the early stages.

I know that I put my step-father through the ringer for the first little while, so I can see why some people wouldn't be up for that, and you can't really blame them.
