I have 5 and as soon as i tell them the first response is wow..then i never hear from em again

I would date someone with children being I have a 3 1/2 y/o son myself.

I like children and I have no problem with a woman who does. I just never really get an opportunity to get to know anyone once they hear I have 4 children. I say no problem. When it is meant to happen it will. I just have to make sure she is crazy like fun, not crazy like sitting in the corner rocking back and forth having a debate with the Kool-Aid Man on the state of the union.

Open heart, open mind, open ears and open your mouth every once and a while. Close even one of them and things are bound to go wrong. But, then this is just my opinion.

Heh I have just the opposite .! I have 3 children at home and as soon as a girl finds out well nuff said but my children are my life

I have no kids, but dont mind if the lady does. I like kids.

i have 2 kids at home full time and its funny to me that in the last 7 years i have had more single mothers refuse to date because of my children than single ladies without children. Is it just me or is there something really wrong with that. but such is life. I am starting to understand that single mothers dont want single fathers cause that means they aren't the only parent anymore. Okay maybe im just jaded from the last 3 single mothers that freaked out when they found out i was raising 2 kids of my own. lol
But i can understand that having my own kids can bring about whole other problems. What kills me in the end with 2 of these women is they ended up in relationships with men who had children but didnt have anything to do with their own children.

I would like to know the age of most of the men yor talking about, perhaps they just have not mutured yet

The greatest joy on earth is that of children

I have always thought of women with children as a bonus, the men your talking about, I think are just boys who do not know what they are missing

Before I had a kid I wouldn't have dated somebody who had a child.

Reason being, they aren't reliable enough to stick to who they had that child with and create a stable family. It would make you think that they aren't capable of that.

Alot of men know there is going to be baby daddy drama and they ain't ready for none of that. Also they feel they didn't make the kid why raise it. The main reason they will never truly have that woman cause the child will come first.

Whoooa! Jealous over a child? Where did THAT come from? Uhhhh KIDS DO COME FIRST! LOL.

There is NOTHING wrong with dating a guy who has kids.
Or a girl who has kids. Just takes mutual agreements en understanding. That what kids need. It really is not that hard. Just we live in a very selfish culture. One I am not familiar with.

I havent had a problem, not that I noticed.

My typical introduction is "Hi I'm Nial I have 2 kids" It weeds out the ones that can't deal. My favorite is when a really young girl is flirting with me, "How old are you?...Oh I should introduce you to my son, he's 24"

I have not had trouble finding a man to date me just cause I have children. If they don't like my children well I've 3 words for them

GO TO HELL

I always say check the sources before you worry about the response. Personally, I think it's just an indicator of the PERSON'S (because there are women who won't date a single father like myself) preference. Most guys think that the child or children will get in the way of having quality time with a woman. So if they don't have to, the feeling is 'Why should I?'. Personally, I think it's the WOMAN for me that dictates anything. A good woman will have her stuff in order, so kids won't be an issue.

well think that way if ya want
but one day u'll be told all about ur new baggage
when that 18/20yr old call an tells ya all about her new baggage
that u help make
so what then u going to date her then or
be that guy that says is it mine

I don't consider children baggage....they are part of the package.....kids are great and I would never not date a man because he has children.....but there are some men who have children and still prefer to date women who don't have any. I love kids mine are almost grown youngest is 14 and plays school sports.....best times of my life have been because of my children...

oops I mean men have children of their own but do not want to day women with children.......geesh.......oh well I think you all knew what I meant.....

I've never had a problem getting dates. I get more dates now that I have kids.
I just have a hard time keeping the men I date. I think that has more to do with than it does my kids though.

I've only dates two men with kids though.
I actually prefer men who do not have kids. I think it's the same concept.

Ooo unless the kids are awesome, or close to the same age as my kids.

I'm not a fan of kids.

As a male single parent, I get the same from women. It's just that there are more female single parents than male single parents which is probably why it is more talked about.
