I could not agree more! I spoke with a lady once and she just down right would not date a guy who had children. No matter if they were living with him or not. How selfish a person like this can be! How unfortunate that some people cannot see the strength and maturity a man has by keeping their children in their lives. I can't imagine ever not wanting my kids and any woman who would turn me down because I have children (no matter what age they may be or who they live with) is, IMO, a selfish, cold hearted, woman who has no idea what she's missing. | |

Posted: 4/11/2008 10:24:43 PM | I'm an older full time single dad. I'm 51 and my wonderful kids are 7 and 4. Life is great but it looks like it'll be the 3 of us for a while. First dates go great until she asks how often I get to see my kids. When I say "every night" she starts drinking heavily and looking for the door. Seems in my age group women think they're through with small kids. They're looking for a travel partner, someone to help them raise their teenagers, or a sugar daddy. Little kids should be with their mother out of the way.
So I'm not actively looking to date now and I'm not here much anymore, just stopped in to respond to a message. Good luck to all you dads out there and enjoy them before they grow up. It happens way too quickly. --Jerry | |

Posted: 4/12/2008 8:01:28 AM | I hear you Jerry, women are no more attracted to single fathers than men are to single mothers, particularly if you're older. I'm 45 and I got started late - most women close to my age are empty nesters, and not into starting over - even though I don't really expect anybody else to take care of them.
It's a ****, socially, but I wouldn't trade them for the world. | |

Posted: 4/13/2008 4:14:37 PM | I think single dads are awesome! Nothing like a guy with a super close bond with his child or children.
It's a big turn on! | |

Posted: 4/13/2008 5:00:38 PM | Full time single dad here too... have a 9 yr old son with a heart of gold! Between him and getting a new business off the ground and taking yoga classes, I stay rather busy... but, always open to making new friends. Maybe one day, one of them will turn out to become more than that...
In the meantime, I enjoy my life and the chance to spend time with my son. When he heads out to his mother's for the summer (usually) for 9 weeks, that's the roughest part. A break for a week or so is a nice change sometimes, but after that I start missing my little buddy. :( At least he lives with me the rest of the time... :-D  | |

Posted: 4/14/2008 2:08:50 PM | Yes I can really relate to this debate,have been a full time single dad for three years,and working full time,and keeping the house clean,gardening etc and sometimes it's really hard,especially here in France but would not have it any otherway,as it was the right thing to do,it was very rewarding to be backed up by a female high court judge in england,and then for the french judge to reciprocate this judgement.
You just know that you were right.
And as for woman,people with kids understand,singles in my view just dont have the same commitment and understanding.

Posted: 4/15/2008 1:46:44 PM |  I CONGRADULATE all you single full time dads
You should all be very proud! I am obvioustly not a single dad, but I am a single mom of one. I have a little girl who is 8. I got pregnant at 17, lived with the father and everything, he became very abusive. I found out he cheated on me,3 months after I had my daughter. I kicked him out, and ever since I have raised my daughter alone, I have full custody, and the father lives in London, and has no contact or care of our daughter what so ever. I dont know how men can have kids, and not give a damn?
Well my daughter and I are very happy, and I do my best to be the best mom I can be!
So to all u wonderful full time dads  -Keep up the great work!

Posted: 4/15/2008 3:50:43 PM | to xssve & jerry... THERE you all are! Well I might just pack up our bags and move back to the States! I didn't know there were many guys my age raising young kids looking for a lady in similar situation (I'm 44 with a boy and girl ages 10 and 4 respectively). You've restored my faith! Don't give up guys. We're out here. We could turn up at the next parent-teacher meeting near you! | |

Posted: 4/15/2008 5:59:19 PM | I'm a full time singel dad of two wonderfull boys 8 and 5. They do see their mother from the end of June till the middle of August but other then that they don't talk to her much. Between work and the kids it's really hard to do anything.
Believe me I'd love to find a woman intrested in a single dad, but even though I've seen a bunch posted here, it's been a rather difficult taks for me to find someone even remotely intrested.
I wouldn't change my situation though for anything in the world.
But it would be nice to have someone here at night to just talk too when they are in bed ya know?
Anyway Kudos to the rest of you single dad's. Glad to see so many out there | |

Posted: 4/15/2008 6:07:11 PM | | For starters I have a few friends that are single fathers and I have so much respect for them. I on the other hand am not so lucky but soon will be. After marrying my husband and having my daughter not even a year into our marriage I noticed a change. He pays no attention to our daughter now almost 7 months old. I kept my self from walking out for my parents split when I was a child and I never knew my father. I didn't want that for my daughter so I stayed. Now I am 10 weeks along with my second child due this November. He came in and told me 2 nights ago that I thought you were going to leave me so I got you knocked up again so you can't walk out. Am I a fool for saying yes I am. So with my situation hail to all you single fathers out there taking care of your precious little ones. You are in my prayers and god be with you as he watches over your little ones. | |

Posted: 4/15/2008 7:35:09 PM | | Keep your heads up guys...not all women pass up single dads. I have a tendancy to date guys with primary custody more than any other group of guys. They have proven themselves capable of staying around when the going gets tough and I admire and respect that. | |

Posted: 4/15/2008 9:19:45 PM | I'm a single dad to a 12 year old daughter. The only negative is I'm learning things about the women's reproductive system I really didn't want to. The only thing worse than a guy being asked to pick up feminine products for his wife/girlfriend (i.e. you tell him exactly what he needs to pick up) is a guy having to comparison shop for said products (pads or tampons? mini or maxi? w/ or w/o wings?). | |

Posted: 4/15/2008 10:30:55 PM | | geez... are any of you single dads living in my area?? it'd be great to talk to you... even just as friends. LOL! I've been single since I was 4mths pregnant and it's the best! Reading these posts has been very pleasant since I'm not used to fathers being so interested in their children. Awesome job men! | |
