Hats off to all such dads!
A single hot lady would run for her life but any down to earth single mom who is going through the same thing would surely appreciate this man since he CAN understand what she s going through.
Plus, kids around the house all the time? Wonderful thing! This way i ll know what he's up to if he's not with me

As a single mom... my preferance would be to date a single dad... HE UNDERSTANDS!!! Kudos to all single parents!!!

THIS,, especially those who are 'parents' and not just walking paychecks,, parenting is so much more than finances,,,,,it takes so many skills and assets, like patience and humor and listening skills and confidence to guide and lead and humility to not be the center of attention all the time,, and so many other character assets,,,its a HUGE plus whenever someone has these personal skill sets,,,

I agree!

If one can accept the kids n their hands then surely she can accept the man n her heart..

I think its very attractive. Seeing a man be a good dad is one of the most heart touching things ever!

...... bn a zingle parent mom or dad iz an awzome role b proud b happy GOD got ur bak

Thank you, when we become parents , it is a gift . The children are our heritage. I have a deep respect for all single parents. In whatever case the situation makes dating and marriages difficult. However it merely difficult not impossible. (Sitters,schedules) an honorable parent , has room for all that is required. Those who chose not to explore May not be worth you anyway! Their loss be grateful!

blessed reading humble response ................... may all are true by heart

Yep; that has been my experience with single dads and although single dads make great parents; they don't make very good boyfriends. Tried several times to date single dads but I was treated like crap. Never again.

Single dads who contacted me on this site mostly wanted NSA but were not upfront about it. However, one shouldn't generalise, so let me say that some of them also have stated on their profiles that they are looking for intimate encounters, only.

Some left marriage and children questions with "no answer" in their profiles and some didn't even put their photo or wrote anything - they just clicked on an invitation to become friends without even reading my profile first!? If they have read it, they would take a guessing out of an equation since I was upfront and quite clear about what I am looking for and what I am NOT looking for.

That is my experience with single dads here. I do not want to make any conclusions since everyone's experience is different. I am just sharing mine here. So, please, hold the fire!

Single dad/mom or not, I believe everyone should first create their own profile, put some photos and at least basic answers to the questions and read a profile of a person they would like to contact.

Single parents might also be upfront and tell the person they contact about their kids, how old they are and if they are still living with them because kids are important and these are the questions they should normally expect when meeting someone online or offline.

I believe honesty is the best policy, especially if you are looking for a serious relationship, so why not say it upfront and skip playing games? Others will find out anyways, so why complicate things?

It would be great! (For a single mom anyway! ) ;-)

no.

Its a shame that you've found this to be the case.....I think most women do appreciate the circumstances as your sister in law told you, most women do appreciate a man that takes care of his kids if they are in the home or not.....I also appreciate the comment another member made about women maybe not having confidence that you would be able to put time aside for them....personally if its just sex you are hoping for.....be open and honest about it then women will know what to expect, we like that just as much as a man does. Knowing where you stand is important to both sexes.

This is an interesting topic. I have bookmarked it and came back to read replies again.
Then I found the similar topic on the forum.
It is about single moms. Just in case some Minglers find the related topic interesting, here is the link to save them time for searching the forum:http://mingle2.com/topic/402760?page=1
On a personal note, isaac_dede and klc's posts explained well how I feel about that type of a relationship.
Well written, worth reading and I'd like to thank both of them for posting on that topic!
One can always express an opinion in non-insulting way to others who do not share it.
That's what I like about some people on this forum whose posts are really worth reading.
Perhaps I should have been more considerate in my previous post on this topic. After reading it over I realized it might be mistaken as an opinion that all single dads are here just for NSA, which is NOT THE CASE.
I am grateful to Minglers who showed me a better way to express my taught by example.
THANKS!!!

Whether one is a single mom or a single dad with full custody of children, potential partners could turn away. The mind says -- too much complication, added responsibilities, children after all should be a parent's number one priority; issues of time and even rivalry or jealousy among the children could surface. But, one should always be true to one's self, values and principles first, and hopefully for some people, the heart will prevail over the mind, and say I'll take you, children, pets and all. It's a package deal - take it or leave it. When they leave, they're not the right ones for you anyway, so just keep moving forward with a happy heart believing that the best is yet to come.

I think single dads with full custody of their kids... are something amazing!!!

I got left with my two from when my boy was 3months old.i found women would run a mile.think it because they dont have the bond with them like would there own.me i would take on a women with kids a treat them limd they were my own.dont think it work other way round much.other one you take kids to schoolu a all the women dtand talking a so on.you syand there a it like you not there.they dont try a get to know you.wish i could find someone just to love you back at not screw you over.because kids see it all.

Mad respect from me for being a solo dad it's not an easy task and takes a lot of time and devotion... I'm sure other solo parents could sympathise in you predicament... I see from earlier posts there are women out there who fully understand and find your situation appealing... It's just mission to find them....

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone-we find it with another.

I think it would be a bonus to meet a full time dad.it can be hard at times for single parents they would understand and appreciate the situation.
