I was looking at a thread on another site. And the topic was about, why men don't date women with children. Trust me, since it was a man that posted it. It didn't go well


But I was wondering how you ladies feel about men raising a child when it comes to dating?

personally, I wouldnt have a problem with it... I dont want to have anymore children..so a man who comes with a ready made family could be a solution for him...

just because it may not be mine biologically doesnt mean the child is less deserving of love.

I have always found that living with a man
is all the childishness anyone should have
to bear.

My sympathies here, however, lie with
the man. Being everything, to everyone,
cannot be easy. It seems a HUGE burden
to take on.

Love conquers all.
You hope.

It would be nice if more people actually knew this

I won't date men with children, especially young ones. I'm not interested in raising someone else's kids.

I have a friend who is a single father. His daughter's mother passed away after the divorce. I don't see that he has any problems, other than (as with all single parents) having to be very careful about who his daughter is exposed to. I think a lot of women are extremely sympathetic to single fathers, but they also seem to think he needs help - he doesn't. He does an above average job of parenting in my opinion.

More men these days are taken care of their child then in the past. I for one haven't and never will need any help from a women raising my child. But at the same time I have an open mind to things.

Honestly, I would have NEVER dated a man with young children. However the roles have reversed since I am raising my 11 month old grandson. I have had him since he was 2 weeks. Now I think twice about it all. But if a man didn't want to date me because I had a baby, I wouldn't think negative because I do understand.

I am dating a man with 9 kids. ( yeah, I know..lol) I have met all but 4. I met those little guys once. I was scared. I thought that they all would think that I was a bad person...(the evil new girlfriend and stuff, you know..) 2 Of his boys were 18 when I met the two. Then on a visit to the x-wife's' house, I met the other 4 boys. The 2 older boys came over to visit just about every weekend.


Then all of a sudden his 3 girls were so rudely given to us. ( I am not saying that I was mad that we had to take them...It was the way the X girlfriend had did it.) After the girls were there for 2 days they felt so comfy in calling me mom. We had the girls for 2 and 1/2 years until their bio-mom decided she wanted to play mommy again and took them for a month..... . We are still waiting to get them back. Have to go to court on that one.

I got so attached to his kids that at times I think about the girls and I just sit and cry. I miss them so much. I worry about them because the X's choice in fast boyfriends is NOT what is good for these little girls.

I would date a guy with kids, you never know where you will find that buried treasure. I feel that this is the best decision that I have ever made with my life and that of my 2 children.

I think it shows strength and responsibility and if they are a single father then you know are not likely to be as selfish. . which are all great qualities I would want in a man.

I must disagree. My ex PAID to get my son for 2 years, until the courts finally realized he WASN'T the best choice. Just because you gain custody doesn't always mean it is the RIGHT choice

See, now I coild say the same thing about my ex knowing she is in jail right now and had her other two children removed from her.

It works both way when it come to Women/men


AS for me. I have to agree with what Simonedemidova said. A man raising a child since I am doing that right now. has changed my life for the better. As far as dating goes, will see what happens when that time comes.

I wouldn't mind dating a man with A child, as in one. The reason for my downgrade because I dated an older man with two children by two different women so I had to deal with 2 different mothers which at that time I was not ready for. I do respect a man that takes care of their children, we need more men like them.

Depends on the person them self i don't see why not an how they are with there kids my ex had a son which me an him never got along i tried too but he was just well rude in many ways. depends on how old the kids are probably but shouldn't have any trouble

I've never dated a man with children, and I'd rather not. I'd feel uncomfortable with them having contact with the child's mother, and that's too much drama for me!!

I dont see a big issue with it, blended families are very common. I do admire a man who is a good father to his kids, especially a single dad. At this point in my life my kids are grown and Im persuing other things in life so for me, I wouldnt want to raise more children.

Who wants all that drama???? One or two kids is fine, if he has an entire football team of kids, than I pass...Being alone isnt all that bad....

it all depends on the persons involved i guess. there are some single parents male and female that take advantage of the situation in their favor. . . they are also some genuine single parents who just do the best they can and care a lot for their childrens best interest. . . then there are people who just aren't into children. . .and they have a right to date whomever they want. . .

Some guys can handle the responsibilities of raising chickens and some can't.

Ya gotta feed and water them, ya gotta clean up all thier poop. You gotta throw scratch out for them and gather thier eggs constantly. You gotta rub that cream on thier @$$ so they don't get "Pastey Butt".

It is alot of work If a guy doesnt understand the responsibilities inherent with raising your chickens in a proper and nurturing environment, then the gov't SHOULD step in and transfer those chickens to a home capable of ensuring an adequate upbringing that will allow them to become productive citizens of this country.

I think that it is nice to see a man raising his child, taking responsibility. I have no problem dating a man with a child/children
