Would You Date a Women with 6 children?
Posted: 6/25/2009 1:34:42 PM
If you met a mom who had 6 children who are all from One Father whom she was married but now divorced but the Father is active in the childrens lives and he takes care of them and there is no issue between The Father and the Mother. Would you consider dating her? Or Would you stay away?

I notice alot of people Judge on the fact of number of kids a women has. Some thoughts that may come to mind. 1. All children are from Different Fathers 2.Baby Daddy Drama or isssues. They think this before actually getting to know someone.But Really cant others try to find out the story before judging. I mean 6 children is alot but it doesnt mean the mother wants a man to take care of her children if the father is active and provides for the children himself.

Just a Thought whats yours?

How did her body hold up? If it held up okay and she could get away from the litter of little ones, NP, but six kids can be hard on the body. I mean some women look like crap after only having one. Remember dating is just dating, it's not any thing more then that, so the number of kids is not an issue if there is sufficent together time.

This one is!

6? No freaking way.

1 I am eventually going to want kids myself and I am beyond positive that any woman with 6 kids is not interested in having more.

2 She is probably looser than a slip n slide down there. Even if she isn't, I and most men will assume she is.

3. How is she going to have time to do anything with me?

4. Her body is going to be shot. I have yet to see a woman come through having 3 children with a body that looked anything like it did before she had kids. 6........ Wow........

5. If I did end up falling for her, I'd eventually have to take on the role of father figure to 6 kids + my own (if she decides to have more) and I don't think I could handle that.

A couple of good profile pics and meet-ups without overt drama would override concerns about the number of kids . The counting side of a guy's head isn't functioning in lots of situations.

That is lots but my cuz seems okay with four or five kids from five different dads of five different races.

If there is no issue between father and mother, he's active in the children's lives, and they managed to have SIX children...

My only question would be:

Why the hell did she divorce him?

And of course, I wouldn't date her. Not in a million years.

And no offense, but those "I'll ask them why they don't want me, and whey they answer, I will call them poopyfaces" bait threads are amongst the lamest of the lame.

It always saddens me when marriages end in which there are many children. I wonder how can a husband and wife, who obviously had a close enough relationship to produce that many children over that many years, change their feelings for one an other so drastically that it ends in divorce?

Obviously it happens, feelings change, it's just sad.

That's an awful lot of possibly devastated children, and it would take a super human effort for a new man to make his way into their hearts, if that were the case.

Personally, no I wouldn't :)

Not till I was sure I could handle the finanical responsablity of a LTR. After all Iwould like, to have a relationship, go somewhere. Oh positive male figure and father figure are synomis (sp) (the same). I have met a woman with 15 childern with a good figure. She was an Orthodox Jew. Then look at Kate from Jon and Katie plus 8. She stil has a good figure.

Probably not. I can barely afford to put a roof over one child's head with what I'm left with at the beginning of the month. I really doubt I'd be able to take on the financial responsibilities of 6 more in the event that things progressed to shared accomodations.

Ok first off you are being very superficial I have 5 kids, not five daddys,
Can still fit perfectly into the same size as I did BEFORE ANY of them.

So what in heck makes you think that all women just fall apart because they have kids?????

Really what would you know?

I also find it highly amusing how the guys I've seen run their mouths about how women look after so many kids, really aren't all that themselves!

Just wondering why does having 6 children make you think her body is out of shape? cant mothers work out and take care of themselves?


Ill let a doctor answer this question for me.

After the whole process of pregnancy and childbirth, women tend to put a lot of weight. The reason for getting fat could range from genetics, hormone fluctuations to excess intake of calories than required for the baby and mother.

Soon after childbirth, women cannot hit the gym in any case. It takes 6-8 weeks to start simple exercises. Women's body takes about 2 months or probably more to completely heal after the birthing process.

An exercise regime after child birth has to be started mildly. Added to it, some women may have complications in pregnancy which would force them to take complete rest during pregnancy. Months of inactivity would contribute to weight gain in pregnancy.

Looking after the baby would keep new mothers occupied all the time that they would hardly have any time to care for themselves. Outdoor exercise would be something close to impossible if there is no one else to look after the baby. Looking after the baby the whole day would be extremely tiring that the mother would catch up sleep whenever she finds time. All of these contributes to gaining weight after being a mother.

For new mothers getting a good night's sleep would be difficult. Lack of proper sleep contributes to postpartum weight gain according to recent studies.. New mothers who slept less that five hours every night has a threefold higher risk for substantial weight retention. Lack of proper sleep has also been associated with weight gain even in general population.

Disorders of thyroid like hypothyroidism occurs in some women in pregnancy. Some medications for thyroid disorders are unsafe in pregnancy and hypothyroidism causes weight gain. Even with medications, there would be very slow weight loss later.

With children, more and more foods enter our shopping list. Children would force parents to buy a lot of food stuffs. After a while, they are tired of eating and the mother has to end up eating all of these foods with out wasting. This is a major contributing factor for weight gain among mothers. So the mother just starts eating to finish the left over foods after every meal. This causes more intake of calories than that required for the mother.

Reference: http://www.helium.com/items/39062-why-do-moms-get-fat


There are another 15 pages on the subject after that one. And common sense will tell you that 6 kids would make it that much harder. SOME mothers will be able to go through that many children and still have a good figure, but the vast vast VAST majority; will not.


What makes up think they are lose down there? {so Not true}


The lose assumption come from the fact she has passed 6 children through her vagina. Each probably weighing around 7 pounds.......... I don't know of a man alive with a penis that could come close to comparing to that. If she isn't, it would take some sort of surgical procedure.


and what Makes you think she cant find Time for a Man? She found time to have sex to have 6 children


Sex and time with a man are two similar, but different things.

The time I am referring to is quality time where you bond and grow closer. I'm guessing if a divorce happened after enough time to have 6 kids it would be to the two people growing apart. Quality time helps prevent that; and one or two kids will cut into quality time. 6 destroys the possibility of it.

Like I said. I am guessing on the divorce thing. I do know many men who get left out of their wives lives after kids are born.


..and what makes you think a Mom would want you as a Father Figure when they children have a father? I know a women wants a Positive Male Roll Model in their childrens life but wow if a man thinks like that who would want you as a Father Figure OR a Male Figure...I know I would pass..No Offense


I don't assume anyone wants me to be a father figure, but common sense says any man that is going to be in a relationship with you is going to have to be around the kids at some point. Which would make him a male role model. Unless of course, all you are looking for is a discrete F buddy and there is nothing wrong with that. But it does completely change the dynamic of what you are asking.

Yes, I must be judgmental because I have a few problems getting involved with a woman who has 6 of another mans spawn........ Oh and that must make me a piece of crap human to boot......

You are obviously very ignorant. Let me guess, you're 19-20? The woman's body is an amazing piece of work and has the ability to return to normal within a few weeks after birth. Do you have some idea in your head that there's a gaping hole left over after each child? Seriously, I work in obstetrics and you would be amazed at the transformation from immediately post birth to 6 weeks postpartum. You also probably think that if a woman can push a baby out in 2 minutes flat, then she had a large vagina to begin with? Wrong again, in fact the stronger you're vaginal muscles are, the faster you will deliver a child... Please stop making ridiculous comments on a subject you obviously know nothing about...

Really now? I admit to not being a doctor, but I did stay at a holiday in express last night................

In all seriousness. So your saying there is absolutely NO CHANGE to the female genitalia after child birth? None? Really?

Your saying that there is no chance that something could get damaged? Or not heal properly? or there might be some scaring left over from the episiotomy causing things to be slightly wider than they were before?

And no I never assumed a woman has a gaping vagina just because a baby FORCES its way out through a hole that is to small.......................

I have to agree with the ignorant assessment. The vagina is a muscle. I'm sure with this knowledge the ignorant poster can figure out his misconception.


If she isn't, it would take some sort of surgical procedure.


It's called getting stitched back up immediately after giving birth. Just thought I'd explain from personal experience without giving TMI.

You only get stitched up if there's a tear. The vagina stretches 10 cm to prepare to have baby out, so it's not like the baby comes out and make s a gap, and it has nothing to do with how much baby weighs. And for all you know, OP could have had a csection, which then would make it insigifnicant if she's loose down there.

In another comment, you mention how so many men arent' involved in the wives' lives with the kids, ever thought that some of them dont' make an effort to initiate in being active in helping around the house and taking care of baby? While I do agree that couples should make time for each other, it takes two people to make that effort and cooperate so they can make the time. If both pitch in to take care of baby, the faster they can spend time togther, heck that is time together as well.

I don't think it's judging so much as knowing ones self well enough to know what they are able to deal with.

I've passed on men with 3+ kids. 6 would be more than I could comfortably handle.

I suppose if I got to know him outside of his role as father and was really digging him then maybe. I don't see how that would be possible though if he is a good father.

6 kids = no time, no money and no spontaneity for a long, long time.

As for all the people talking about how the body falls apart after have kids. This isn't true for every woman. My sister is a very petite, small woman. She has had 8 children and can still fit into the same jeans she wore when she was 15 and still has a.. erm.. perky body.

6 kids? I would not be able to understand how on earth a person would be able to fit dating into that level of responcibility. Just being married with 6 kids must be challenging.

I find it so hard to believe that in this day and age of readily available information, that someone could be so ignorant of the functioning of the female body. Let me enlighten you:

Three Layers of Tissue
The vagina consists of three layers of tissue. The mucosa is the layer on the surface that can be touched. It consists of mucous membranes and is a surface similar to the lining of the mouth.

Unlike the smooth surface of the mouth lining, the vagina contains folds or wrinkles. The next layer of tissue is a layer of muscle, concentrated mostly around the outer third of the vagina. The third, innermost layer consists of fibrous tissue that connects to other anatomical structures.

In the sexually unstimulated state, the vagina is shaped like a flattened tube, the sides of which are collapsed on each other. It is not a continually open space, or "hole" as often thought by both women and men. It is a potential space.

Because of its muscular tissue, the vagina has the ability to expand and contract, like a balloon, allowing a baby to pass through during childbirth, or adjusting to fit snugly around a tampon, a finger or any size penis.

The internal walls of the vagina itself do not have a great supply of nerve endings, thus are not very sensitive to touch. The outer one-third of the vagina, especially near the opening, contains nearly 90 percent of the vaginal nerve endings and therefore is much more sensitive to touch than the inner two-thirds of the vaginal barrel.





http://health.discovery.com/centers/sex/sexpedia/vagina.html

My best friend and her husband (happily married, thank goodness!) are expecting child no. 6 this December. If you were to pass her on the street you would never know she has already had 5 children because she is tiny! She actually lost weight during the course of having her children and went from wearing a size 18 to her now current size 6. Last time she weighed pre pregnancy, she weighed a whopping 135lbs!

The ignorance on these forums is sometimes quite astounding.

It's a fact that childbirth can cause pelvic muscles to weaken,and sometimes weakened pelvic muscles can cause reduced sensitivity(feeling) during sex.It's also most likely that the more children you have the worse this problem is going to get.

I like how everyone is so quick to jump on how loose she would be after having that many kids.
She only asked if someone would go on a date with her.

For all anyone knows, 4 of the children are adopted or foster children. :)
