The simple answer is that nothing says "Taken" like a bun in the oven.
It's probably a biological throwback to our more primitive days anyway. I mean, if your goal is to spread your seed there's no point in concentrating your efforts on a woman who's already been impregnated by another man.

Why would a pregnant woman want to date a man,crap that is to show bad respect for the unborn child but I am sure that the child will have her or his pay back time 15 years later...

The idea of procreation from a mans point of view is to be the first there with his seed,
with a preggy woman someone has been there before him so she gets passed by.While he carries on with the impossible task of finding an over 16 virgin.[only joking ladies]

love u all

As said before by some people, it's a major turnoff for most guys. Some years back at work a girl who was pregnant kept hitting on me and I didn't find it attractive at all, especially when the baby-daddy would visit the store and to be quite frank, I don't need any sort of drama like that in my life, not worth it at all.

I'm sure some guys don't mind it, but for me personally, no thanks.

Let me think of the possibilities here....

1) The babies father (sadly) was killed (car accident, in the military and KIA, whatever)... he's "permanently out of the picture" at least, but I'm sure emotionally she'd be nowhere *near* emotionally ready for a relationship. (Not that I wouldn't feel sad for her and the unborn child in that circumstance).

2) She doesn't know who the kids father is - uh, bad sign, just how many guys *did* she sleep with in a matter of weeks that she wouldn't know? Not a good sign of relationship stability.

3) The father is "absentee" (she dumped him, or he "walked away"). Big potential for drama, DNA testing, court battles over child support/visitation/custody, bitter feelings (emotional drama). Again, more than likely she really isn't emotionally ready for a relationship (not counting the hormonal ups & downs of the pregnancy, possible post-pardum depression afterwards - what guy really would want to deal with that over a child that isn't even his?)

4) She's looking for a new "baby daddy" (or is that "sugar daddy") to support her and the child.

I've got nothing against dating women with kids, I've done it before and would do it again - but all the ones I've dated have *been* through the child support/custody court situation, have had a decent "arrangement" between father/mother over their children, while there may still be some underlying "ill feelings" there, for the most part they have *dealt* with them and have moved on with their lives, "minimal drama". I dunno as I'd ever say 100% "no way, never" (I'm a firm believer in "never say never"), but it would take one *hell* of a special woman to make that less than 100%, and all the potential "drama red flags" in the way would make it hard to really get to the point of seeing her that way in the first place.

Personally I'm not desperate enough to watch some other guys child emerge....doesn't really do much for me. For me, a child is the most special gift any two people could ever get, to date someone who is carrying another man's DNA would be pretty low. I want to raise my own child someday not get the leftovers thank you very much.

Why Don't Men Want to Be Accused of Spawning Children That Aren't Theirs?

I prefer candlelit din-dins with vino and cigars. Most pregnant women don't play dat.

Just ask yourself about how you'd feel about dating a guy who's an expecting father-to-be, it would be a little less than ideal i think.

Many men prefer the “Do-It-Yourself” model rather than the “ No Assembly Required” model.

To turn the question around a bit, just what does a pregnant woman bring to a potential relationship with a man who is not the father of her child that is a net positive for him?

I have thought long and hard and observed many things over the years regarding this issue and I can't think of any combination of factors that would result in a net positive for him.

Feel free to prove me wrong.

Dear writer.I am 5 month pregnant with my 3rd child and am interested in dating at this time and just meeting people!I went in to this with a partner and have decided for my self to find the right man that can make me happy!So why sit here and wait?Because i want to be out there and be honest and who knows maybe ill find Mr right!


Your profile says you're only 21 years old and a student, and you are 5 months pregnant with your 3rd child and wanting to date?

Are they by different fathers or the same man?

I'm sorry, and I don't want to sound mean, but that just sounds so irresponsible to me on both your parts. You need to concentrate on putting your life in order before you even think of dating.

I think it depends a lot on circumstance, but I would assume a pregnant woman is in some sort of relationship with someone else that is still active. This may not be the case in some circumstance, but unless she stated explicitly she was not in a relationship, I would assume she was.

I dated a woam once who was pregnant because guy who got her pregnant didn't want her anymore. guess who she wanted at hospital with her and guess who she wanted to be with and who wanted to be with her when she went home. guess who she wanted around and wanted to be around when it was time for sex again. not me.

For 1 99.999 percent of all men would think a pregnant woman has a bf/fiancee/husband who got her pregnant. And second most single men who want to date aren't ready to be involved with kids just yet.

...as every answer can help women everywhere who are facing this predicament...


YES! It's hard to believe HOW MANY PREGNANT women sit home ALONE every night while their unpregnant friends are out at the limbo dance!

And while we are on the subject, WHY DON'T WOMEN DATE MEN WHO ARE COMATOSE? I have a friend in a rehab hospital, hooked to a ventilator, and he CANNOT find a date! He was funny, smart, well groomed, and everything...yet no date. His equipment is all on WHEELS, DUH! so he can go anywhere us "wakies" can go...but no...there he lays, virtually undateable. If he knew, he'd be crushed.

And don't even GET me going about why nobody will date a patient who is in the middle of having a heart transplant operation...

There is so much injustice in this world I don't know why I even get out of bed in the morning.

Most guys do not want to raise someone else's child. But, when I was pregnant, I went on several dinner dates, it creeped me out more than them. I never got intimately involved with anyone, of course, or even kiss anyone, that would have been just too weird. I accepted the dinner invites because I was lonely and just wanted to get out of the house for a bit.

I think a lot of guys actually like the idea of dating pregnant women for their own selfish reasons. That is, until they pop. Then they're out the door.

There's something alluring about having sex with a pregnant woman. You could argue that it's any number of the physical qualities, but I think a lot of guys just like the idea of being able to have unprotected sex with somebody without having to worry about anything happening.

But once she pops, then she falls into the "women with kids" category. This changes everything.

Here's the simple answer, don't have unprotected sex and get pregnant. Especially if it's with someone you know isn't going to be around. That way, you won't even have to worry about it and you might find a man. But as we all know these days, personal responsibility and sex just don't go hand in hand.

i would say its a time frame thing, without a doubt, break up has occured within a 9 month period, thats a given, not much time and possibly dont want to get involved to find out it was just a rebound thing.

Because if you do you're just setting yourself up for a guest spot on Maury where you're there to support her in finding who's her baby daddy or you'll find yourself getting beat up by a midget on the Jerry Springer Show.

To me its an odd time to be dating as your about to bring a life into the world of someone you've just helped you get pregnant. And if you got sperm from the sperm bank to me it would be nearly the same. At this time of your and the babies life I think you have your hands pretty darned full...
