Why do women not like dating fulltime single fathers?
Posted: 7/13/2009 2:12:55 PM
All I keep hearing is how women think it is so cool that a man has actually taken responsibility for there children but yet it's apperantly not cool enough that they want to date you. I am a very modest person but I don't think I am that unattractive to the point where no one would want to date. Any suggestions or thoughts?

I think its just the women you have unfortuntely come across. I think its easier to understand/relate to if the woman has children of her own. Your princess is bound to show..sadly you have to catch a few lumps of coal before you find the gem.

I really don't know what you are wasting your time, with someone that won't accept your kids. I believe that there is different type of women out there and you just havent been able to find the right one...Keep it up

I think it because single dads/moms do not know how to do a thread search, or understand the word "redundant"

Maybe you are just not looking in the right areas? I am finding that I get asked quite a bit if because I have one child I probably will not have time to date. Not sure what that means. I figure if they don't understand what being a parent is then I do not have time to date them. LOL Dating comes second to my child. Just remember that when you are out here. If they are not interested because you are a dad, then they are not worth your time.

You fulltime custodial parents who ripped your children away from thier loving non custodial parents when you won your sordid dirty nasty custody battles deserve to be lonely. You made your ex only be able to see thier beloved child a measly 4 days a month and you rape thier paychecks for 1/3 of thier hard earned cash. You made your ex lose out on the majority of your kids childhoods and made them lonely so its only karma that the majority of sane and rational members of the opposite sex refuse to date fulltime custodial parents like yourself so now you will end up being lonely. You deserve it!

I dont want to hear the single custodial parents boo hooing about about not being able to get dates and saying people that refuse to date them are "shallow and selfish" when it was incredibly "SHALLOW" of you that you thought you were so much of a better parent than your ex who loves your children as much as you do, that instead of having the custody arrangement be 50-50 with no child support you were utterly "SELFISH" and got primary and now your poor ex has to fork over 1/3 of thier paycheck to your nasty greedy self and they only get to see thier precious children every other weekend!

Of course most sane non crazy women refuse to date custodial fathers because us women could only imagine the pain and heartache your ex as a woman must feel at losing her children to you! You already royally screwed your ex in the court system we dont want something like that to happen to us! Most guys wont even date custodial mothers too because they dont want to end up like her poor **stard ex paying out the a** in child support and that never gets to see his kids. YOU PEOPLE GIVE US THE CREEPS!

We see you for what you are and that is nasty greedy selfish people with severe entitlement complexes who emotionally and financially abuse innocent people. Yep typical single custodial parents always feeling sorry for themselves trying to play the martyr. SORRY NOT BUYING IT! You got the kids and you get 30% of someones hard earned paycheck just for sitting on your a** what else do you want? You are just nasty emotional and financial leeches! Oh I know, now you want to make your miserable ex's life even more miserable ,you want to find someone whos stupid enough to date you to try to make your ex jealous now right? You want to further alienate your ex from their children by making your new girlfriend or boyfriend be your kids new mommy or daddy right?

I love these threads about lonely suffering custodial parents not being able to get dates they make me It just makes me so happy you're miserable! HA! HA!
Karma is a biatch!

You sure read a lot from the three sentences about this poster's troubles with. I didn't know intuition ran that deep.

Also, he owns a business, so I doubt his ex-wife is paying him anything.


As for me, I do not believe I could fairly raise another woman's child.

Wow Jen, is this YOUR ex? Talk about irrational transferance if not!

You have some serious issues to overcome and I'd like to recommend counciling immediately! To take your pain out on single dads with fulltime custody just because you're experience is raw and ugly isn't going to improve your outlook one tiny bit. And YOU do not speak for ME. My family was ripped apart by divorce when I was 5 and I remember the fights and the custody BS so rather than piss and moan about this poor guy, maybe you should take a look in the mirror and consider the decisions you've made that led you to this point in your life and THEN stop and think about how you can be the best mother you can be with the options you have today. Just because you don't have custody today doesn't mean you can't go back in the future (to court) and have the custody order modified. Judging by your response to this guy, your anger with your ex would not benefit the children one bit. Fighting over the children is HURTFUL to THEM! Why don't you people get that! I'd rather loose a parent than watch them fight about me! And I did!

I would date a full time dad IF he can make the time for me! Way I see it, that is the biggest challenge FT parents have with regard to dating next to crazed exes that is!

I prefer to date guys that are fulltime single fathers. I don't like to date guys that have partial custody . . . that is my preference.

Everyone is different, just hang in there and find someone that suits your needs

Every man I have dated has had children I think it makes him more responsible (not always) and more understanding (not always). The only thing that mkes me edgy is if there is no discipline. I'm a firm believer in not my kids not going there to displine.

And yet you'd think they'd have to not just do a thread search but actually read a thread to come up with:

All I keep hearing is how women think it is so cool that a man has actually taken responsibility for there children but yet it's apperantly not cool enough that they want to date you.

To me it doesn't matter what I hear. If I hear that women like white guys, I don't automatically assume I'm in the money. There's a little more to it than oversimplification.

Well said. Certainly the circumstances surrounding becoming a single parent, and who you are as a person, what you do and who you date has more to do with your single status than the fact that you have children.

Read my profile i'm happily married with children! I'm not a loser single parent who whines about not being able to get a date on a cheapo freebie internet dating site. I'm just here to warn innocent people who are thinking about dating you used goods, excess baggage baby daddies and baby mamas.

OP could be a widow, Jenn8800. You read far too much into his complaining about his inability to get a date because he has children.

Read my posts I wasnt talking about him as an individual but about all custodial single parents in general. There are tons of threads on here with whiney single parents ****ing that no one will date them. This is just another redundant thread on the topic.

Did it ever occur to any of you that the man or woman is just not interested in you? Why does it matter the reason? Do you complain if someone doesn't want to date you for other reasons too?

Jenn8800:

If you don't want someone to feel that you are addressing a poster directly, it is unwise to use the pronoun "You". Generally this implies you are speaking directly to the person you are replying to.

I agree there are a lot of whiny posts like this, and that their status as a single parent may have nothing to do with it.

My post began with



You fulltime custodial parents who ripped your children away from thier loving non custodial parents


You fulltime custodial PARENTS who ripped YOUR CHILDREN away from thier loving NON CUSTODIAL PARENTS..............

you custodial PARENTS not "parent" YOUR CHILDREN not "your child" NON CUSTODIAL PARENTS not "non custodial parent"

My god you are so stupid!
I obviously was refering to custodial parents in general not the OP!

But you're a loser single mother looking for a man on a cheapo freebie internet dating site so your obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Someone who cannot even capitalize proper nouns, use spell-check or use a comma where necessary should not be referring to highly intelligent people as stupid.

Unless the original poster is not a full-time custodial parent, you are still addressing him directly, whether or not you are including other Full-Time Custodial Parents. The correct way to generally address this group of people is to begin your statement with, "Full-time custodial parents, who..."

I have never dated a single mom and I believe reasons are the same. Single parents do have a lack of time even if they believe they can properly invest (time-wise) in a developing healthy relationship. Most of them do not have a strong support system or have mpney/trust issues in terms of sitters. Thus, having a nice dinner on Fr night, attend a concert, and have steaming act in a bed room and wake up to a nice breakfast is not an option for the majority. I like those things but quite frankly with single moms it is hardly an option.

I know many want the same except on a practical level it doesn't work. I like romance, I liked be able to enjoy (in the past) the date and not to worry to be at home by 8 or 10.

The fact that you're a single mother who cant get a man out in the real world and that you have to use the cheapest lowest class dating site on the entire internet to find dates is not a sign of you being a highly intelligent person. The fact that you have a profile up with your photo and with your personal info on it and you go and talk about your personal problems on a public internet forum is also not a sign of you being a highly intelligent person .......................


You fulltime custodial PARENTS who ripped YOUR CHILDREN away from thier loving NON CUSTODIAL PARENTS
It should have been perfectly clear to anyone who is not retarded I wasnt addressing a single individual but single custodial parents in general....

jenn 88OO,
WOW, you live too high on your pedestal and need to come down off it and start living in the real world. Do you think that just because you are happily married that you are perfect? Newsflash... You're not!
And if you are happlily married why are you trolling dating sites? Oh .. right to give all us "loser"single/divorced people "warnings"... hmmm well everyone has freedom of speech I suppose... but I think how you presented yourself is pretty rude, and conceited.
You don't know how or why people are on here and I think its rude to bash everone on this site for being the way they are and being on the site for whatever the reason.
Its none of your business why people post their photos and personal info, let them be the one to pay the consequences... you aren't the one to has to..
I'll tell you like I tell my kids, You worry about you and not what everyone else is doing, they'll be the ones to pay the price, not you, so go on and mind your own business.
Ya think???

Oh, also , reguarding the original post, I personally wouldn't have a problem dating men with full-time custody. So I say keep looking, you will find someone when you least expect it. Good luck with your search. =)

WOW Jenn thanks for the boost in confidence, O and by the way she walked out on her own, wanted a life with no kids, doesn't call, or see them, chooses not to have anything to do with them EVER!!!!! I did not "rip" them away from any one. Thats not me or my style, but again thanks for your opinion, we all know what they can mean. Enjoy your happy perfect life while still on a internet singles site ripping apart others. Must make you feel real good about yourself. I guess I won't ask questions anymore. My bad. But for the future you should really know someone and there situation before you try to degrade them like that. And NO I DON'T GET SQUAT from her either.
