Just being a single parent is of no consequence to determining a person's worth. Some single parents are terrible people, just as some dual parents are. If they are a good dad, doing the right things and raising their children well, then that is something.

I give single dad's and mom's a lot of credit. Me; too I give single dads a lot of credit but I wouldn't date one. Tried it on many occasions and never worked out but I still respect them.

I think highly of good parents, single or married, male or female I feel sorry for poor parents, single or married, male or female not all married couples are good parents to their kids nor are all single dads or moms great parents to theirs ,,,,,I commend anyone that manages to do a good job on their own with something that was meant for at least two,,,,

Only a single parent can understand what other single parents really go through in a day.. it's great to see that some fathers don't run from the responsibility.. :-) I never thought my life would turn out to be this way but I wouldn't change a thing and I'm sure that single fathers feel the same way.. :-) What she said. I'm a single mother of two. I gave up everything for my kids. They come first no matter what. Regardless of whether you are a single father or mother, if your person of interest doesn't understand, or grasp the importance of your children, or simply not like children... Tell'em to kick rocks. :D Until it happens, just be content with it all. Ive been a single dad for nearly 3 years i gave everythin for my son nd lookin back i am so glad i did nt onli is he the best job i will ever have he will always rememeber me for giving everythin up to be a dad instead ov these heartless dads tht dont even wanna see there children nd who claim they are nt the dad

Wow to all the replies on here. Well I just became a single mother of twins 6 months ago. The father wanted me to abort them. He has another child off another women who's 12 years and he only sees him every second weekend. Though he won't acknowledge his beautiful twins off me. His never met them and doesn't intend to. I am currently going through post natal depression..that's where some women get the "bad mother" badge put on them but I can only answer for my self I love and adore my children I did not ask for post natal nor did I ask to do this on my own. Basically what I'm trying to say we should stop putting badges on others and just say we like to date anyone we match with. I would not care if a man is a father or not, all I care about is if he is a decent and caring person inside and out. But I'm not looking for a relationship, I'm not ready. I just want to focus on my children and my self. All the best xo!

Offline, it would be more difficult to bring up, as after how many minutes into the first date would you start talking about it? I would have to let him know on the very first date to save him wasting time. He might want to have kids the natural way, so who am I to keep him from choosing that option? Like I said, the right guy won't mind. I am infertile and I would find as many options as I could, so that me and him could still have kids at some point. Most of my dates have been found through my circle of friends, so maybe it's just the way I date, but I could never get the butterflies-in-my-stomach feeling, about some guy I know nothing about. If you're just honest about it straight away, then you have committed no crime. Fathers need love too. .

I'm a single father of a six year old boy. His mother abandoned him at two weeks old! Evidently I'm doing something right cause I have an awesome son and I would do the unthinkable for him! Take that manhaters!

I have alot of respect for single dads and wish more men that make babies would stand up and realize their child needs them and be there for him. in some cases like mine it is better for everyone involved that the dad isn't. Single moms and dads are the same in alot of ways. but it takes one hell of a man to raise their own kids and it shows alot of character!! keep on doing an amazing job all you single dads!!

I think single dad's are hardworking, they didn't put in much effort in their relationship with their ex wife, lonely, second hand, not as young, wiser, insensitive to emotions, immune to crap. But he's a good man if he takes care of his kids. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THEY PUT MUCH EFFORT INTO THEIR RELATIONSHIP? THAT IS LIKE SAYING TO ALL SINGLE WOMEN, YOU COULDN'T PLEASE YOUR MAN AND YOU DIDN'T TRY SO HE LEFT YOUR SORRY *** FOR SOMEONE YOUNGER...ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT ANYONE ON HERE HAS BEEN THROUGH SO DO NOT PUT EVERYONE INTO ONE GROUP...YOU ARE SO WRONG LADY!!!! I THINK SINGLE FATHER'S ARE LIKE SINGLE MOM'S....KUDOS TO YOU!!!

Yeah totally depends on situation etc. My story is that I split up with the mother after a concession of cheating on her part. Then our daughter was neglected by her and we fought it out in court to get as much time as possible. A few weeks back she was arrested and sectioned as a mental patient with extreme bi-polar. I now have my daughter 24/7 as the psychiatrists are not permitting visits without supervision. I still manage to be a dj,sound engineer and radio host at weekends thankfully for grandma and grandad :) lol. Hectic life but I wouldn't it change for all of the riches in the world. SINGLE DADS RULE OK !!! lol
