Posted: 4/12/2009 7:01:22 PM | Im a single mother with an only child who wants more than anything to be in a "family". I have searched High and Low to find a single Dad and I must be in the part of the country where there are none.
I think its Hats off to you all, I know how tough it is for single moms I can not imagine what a single father goes though.
You'll fond someone worthy of all of you! | |

Posted: 4/14/2009 4:08:04 PM | why does it seem that they are much more concerned with looks rather then what realy makes a relationship work???
Gforce,
I realize this may sound shallow and I know I am not god's gift but honestly if you are not physicly attracted to someone why start something. If you were on an outting and you saw two completely different women, both with kids and no ring, would you go to the one who you were attracted to or the one you weren't attracted to?
I again know this sounds shallow but seriously give it some thought. This is just my take on things. You know what they say about opinions. | |

Posted: 4/14/2009 4:46:08 PM | | You know had a thought after posting this, I was talking to a gal about dating awhile back and we seemed to get along great when we would sit and talk for hrs. on the phone but then things changed a little. I got busy with somethings and didn't get to talk to her near as much. We got a chance to meet at a party and she told me I had blown my chance because i didn't give 100% in chasing her. Now again I know I am not god's gift, but for real If I have to chase, then I am the only one who is actually into it in the first place. Second I have responsibilities and they will not stop for me to chase someone who may or may not be interested. | |

Posted: 4/14/2009 5:51:28 PM | I'm a single mom of roughly 6 yrs to a nearly 11 yr old girl and a 12yr old girl. They're the most important part of my life as they very well should be :)
In my opinion, single dads only scare away the women that are superficial and are not seriously looking for adult committment. Life partners and friends
I personally prefer single dads. they tend to be more understanding of my situation and dont consider my kids "baggage"
Congrats to ALL single parents, our job is Never done! :) | |

Posted: 4/15/2009 4:09:51 PM | I think any man who is a single father deserves much respect!
Being a parent is NOT easy at all, and a single one at that. Being in a situation of being a single mother and my daughters father barely around, its hard to believe that some men out their love their children so much, they would want to be full time single fathers! Any man who can do that deserves my respect hands down! | |

Posted: 4/15/2009 6:36:10 PM | | Widowed single full time Dad here for almost four years and I love it. Raising a 10 year old boy is more of a blessing than a burden as I have always wanted to be a father. I have run into a couple of dating situations though where single ladies didn't understand that being a widowed single parent requires me to more in tune with the needs of my son, sometimes taking away from my time spent working on a relationship. Hopefully I will find that lady who understands and cares as deeply for children in general as I do. Children are our future, our legacy to the world. | |

Posted: 4/15/2009 6:57:56 PM | | Being a full time single dad to my 10 year old wonderful daughter is one of the best things in my life. I couldn't see my life without her. Thing I've not come to understand is why a good bit of women I've talked to(or that have completely ignored me like i was a disease) act like being a responsible loving father is a bad thing. Ever heard the line you wouldn't understand? Sounds to me like all the fulltime dads on here are exactly what every woman wants. A mature and loving man. What man could love more than the ones that will fight for their childrens happiness everyday despite their own humiliation or loss? My glass is up for all fulltime dads! | |

Posted: 4/16/2009 3:23:06 AM | Pretty Much I agree with bruiseviolet , I dont really date women that dont have children. The ones without think everything is cute, when your trying to instill morals and proper conduct. If I just wanted something cute on my arm I can always pick up My daughter, I dont need or want a woman that cant get it. So Women with Children, Thats My thing.
Something I do want to add, I really hate this weight thing. I personally Love a woman with hips Curves, whatever you want to call it. I think they should change the choices to:
Wannabe 80's Model
Real Woman
Bigger then I wanna be, DEAL WITH IT.
Seriously, if the weight of the person matters you are in the wrong place.
(sorry, the "S" on my keyboard sometimes doesnt work...lol) | |

Posted: 4/16/2009 5:10:03 AM | | ross you have a ways to go i have always said being a parent is a day by day learning experiance.you have so much to look forward to before you have to worry bout the boys,her first words,first steps ect.....just raise her to be smart and be honest and hope and pray she does the right things.the best advice i ever heard about being a parent was that we can teach them right from wrong but we cant make them follow it all we can do is pick them up when they fall. | |

Posted: 4/16/2009 5:49:03 AM | I seem to prefer someone who has kids already.. they know what the deal is, know that your kids are important and are a priority. Seems like the men/guys w/o kids, just don't always understand what it is like to be a parent. JMO

Posted: 4/17/2009 3:34:36 PM | I am a single father of 2. a G - 7 and a B-4. I was a stay at home dad for over 3 years while there mom worked full time, and then one day she called and said she wasnt coming home. and hasnt been back since. I went to court for custody, and they gave it to ME. She only has SUperVised visitation. So any of you guys out there who dont think its possible, i am LIVING proof, that the system doesnt always lean twoards the mom. Especially if you have convincing evidence that you are best suited for the job. They look at like 12 factors, who do the kids go to for guidance, who makes there meals, who gets them dressed, who takes em to activities, and to school. who tucks them in at night? I was able to put my name next to 9 out of 12 determing factors, and that was that. So HOORAY for DADS that know how to raise kids. We are a dying breed. Dads ROCK!  , | |

Posted: 4/17/2009 11:30:35 PM | | I have been a single dad of my three kids for two years now, and we are having the time of our lives. They are 7, 5, and 4 and now I am debating whether I want to start dating yet or not. I am finding that so far the fact that I have my kids is a turn off to possible dates. The other one that I have run into that is funny most of the time is when they think I am a married jerk and hitting on them when the wifey isn't around. Then we get to the point where I explain it is just me and the kids, and then comes the seemingly scripted response of "Wow the mom must have been really bad for you to get custody". I really don't think people take time to listen to that statement before they say it. Anyway, I am a single dad and am loving every minute of it. I am ready to start dating again (I think) and we'll see how that goes. For now I'm just happy to be a part of my children's lives, and maybe I'll share that role with someone in the future as well. | |
