Posted: 2/20/2006 3:42:52 PM | I think single dads are courageous. It seems like its so easy these days for men to walk away from their responsibilities. You hear the same story all the time. It's refreshing to me when I meet someone who has lived up to their responsibilities. As a single parent myself, I know first hand what it's like.
You know what pisses me off though, is men and women who have their kids one weekend every 2 weeks or so and call themselves single parents. Until you know what its like on an ongoing daily basis you have no right to lump yourself into the same category as the rest of us. Its insulting. | |

Posted: 2/20/2006 7:05:23 PM | Hi,
I am a single dad of two that only gets to see his kids on the weekends because of the distance that my job has moved me. I give great respect to the dads, like me, that still put there kids ahaed of everything else. I still try to met new people and it is tough. I don't know if it is me or the kids that is a deterent but either way, if they are insecure and don't want the responsibility of being in a relationship with kids, then that is the position they will take. Wait and someone will come to be with you and your kids as a whole. That is the one thing that we as dads need to look for.

Posted: 2/20/2006 9:04:37 PM | I agree with you 100%. I myself am also a single father who has custody of my son. I am finding it very difficult to even get replies to my e-mails when my profile is read. I have listed in my profile that my son lives with me. I guess that's a turn off. Personally, I feel that would tend to be a good thing , showing a great deal of responsibility, stability, and a caring, nuturing ability, which alot of people say that a man doesn't know how to do. Well, for all those people out there who think a man can't do what a woman can, THINK AGAIN!!!!! We're doing it, loving it and proving it!!!!!!!!!!! For all of the single fathers out there looking for that special someone to spend their evenings with in front of the fireplace with a glass of champange, DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!! AND A HUGE CONGRADULATIONS TO ALL. Now go out and play catch with the kids or take them fishing, they will enjoy it, believe me. The best feeling for a father is looking into their childs' eyes when they catch their fish or first pitch of the ball, or even going for a walk and out of the clear blue you hear this sweet innocent voice speak up to you and say, " Daddy, you're the best, I love you". That one still brings a tear to my eyes. | |

Posted: 2/21/2006 4:37:00 AM | As a single parent myself I would find it very hypocritical of me to not date men with children.
Although I am wondering if the fact that I am 40 and have a young (5) son is being seen as a bad thing to men. Many people in the 35-50 age group are looking forward to their kids moving out and having some freedom.
What it all comes down to though is that my son, is my son and any man who can't accept him, can't accept me and in that case we're better off without them. | |

Posted: 2/21/2006 4:45:20 AM | I think single dads are great. I would love to meet one in my area but no luck yet. I am a single parent and I find a single dad more appealing because they understand that sometimes your kids overrule everything else. A sick kid will always come before a date (even if it is something fabulous that took 3 weeks to pull together)... and they understand when your daughter calls you on the cell in the middle of a date freaked out because of something going on at home...or your son calls you because his sister is threatening to kill him for whatever reason...
Single dads just seem to get it more than men with no kids or whose kids live with their ex's and they only see them on weekends.
Just my 2 cents :) | |

Posted: 2/21/2006 6:22:35 AM | Honestly, I think that single dads are the examples that most men should live by! They show the courage, heart and responsibility that most women find absolutely sexy! It is hard to be a single mom trying to raise kids but I can see where it might be harder for a single dad who has to raise a daughter say when she starts going thru ther "woman" stuff! LOL Anyway, KUDOS to all the single dads out there and pls don't stop fishing as there are women out there looking for men exactly like you! Take care all!!

Posted: 2/21/2006 6:42:43 AM | | i am a single father, me and thier mom shares custody. there was a time when i had them for a year or so with out the mother being around, she wasnt doing so good and it was totoally on me. well i found women are less accepting to man having kids than men are of women. it was as if it was intimidating to most. where i live there arent many men in my position, there are more fathers here that live life as if they have none. then again maybe its like that everywhere. its not fair to the mothers children and other fathers that live thier life for thier children. when the kids mother wasnt doing so good, i had gone to the friend of court trying to get some kind ot temp custody, not full custody because i would never take my kids from thier mother regardless how bad she was doing. it was done to me as a kid and my mother took off to never return, anyways while at the friend of the court they would not give me a chance to tell them anything. they looked at me like i was one of them non child support paying fathers. yes i know 98% of fathers that go in there are ones that dont pay or ones trying to get it reduced. they would not give me time to tell them that they were staing with me and i had them for sometime. all they said if you want to change your case you need a lawyer. well its not easy to do that when i had two mouths to feed. but with the mother abondoning them i had a case without the lawyer. she was gone for 8 months at that time. yet if a woman went in with the same case do you think they would have been so quick to get her out of the office? these bad fathers make it worse for the rest of us...... do your job fathers! im out! | |

Posted: 2/21/2006 7:54:58 AM | | I am a single father myself and it is hard work I had to give up fire fighting to take care of my girls. But we all do the best we can and that is what counts. I dont know about women being affraid of us single dads but I know I have had more problems with women coming up and starting conversations with me when they relize that I am a single father with 2 girls especailly when I have the girls with me. I dont like that at all. but anyway most of us single parents do our best and I would have to say that most do dam well at it regardless if there is a partner there or not | |

Posted: 2/21/2006 12:40:15 PM | | I think its great that a guy can take steps to help raise his own kids....it doesnt always have to be the mom ....men have good qualities that im sure that they can impart on their children too. | |

Posted: 2/21/2006 2:37:36 PM | | I'm a single mom and i'm terrified to have the same problem, but you know what, if they won't date you because of that then they must be looking for long term (who cares if the guy you just had a one nighter with has kids) and you don't want a long term relationship with some one who can't accept your kids, do you? | |

Posted: 2/25/2006 7:45:52 PM | | aaron49431....... I am from your neck of the woods originally and you are right, there are not many single dads around there. There are more of them like my ex who has not seen the kids or paid child support since 1993. They are cool with not seeing him but over the years, child support sure would have been nice. My hat goes off to you for being there for your kids and putting them first. People need to remember..our children did not ask to be here..we brought them here and by doing so, they are our responsibility for life.. not just until the ink dries on the divorce papers. | |

Posted: 2/25/2006 9:19:30 PM | | Single dads - extra devoted to their kids, extra responsible, extra "in tune". This meaning single dads who are actually raising their kids and not using the label while the kids are really in mom's custody 95% of the time. Any guy who does the primary raising or the actual shared custody arrangement - hats off to you!!! I have so much respect and admiration for you!!!! I would go out with a single dad before a single 'guy' any day. IF the guy was right for ME his kids would just be a BONUS. | |

Posted: 2/25/2006 9:35:49 PM | jr51580> I think it is harder as a single dad to date just because of the fact you have your children to think of. I have been "close friends" with single dad for over 6 months now. He is an amazing father and the fact that he is a single dad DOES affect how I feel about him. It's a big attraction factor for me. But dating a single dad comes at a price, he has less time for me which at times honestly really sucks but I wouldn't expect it any other way. It shows me how selfless a person he is and that his child comes first.
