the roles were reversed when my daughter was born. the mother is the one that walked away. stayed out drinking, won't pay child support, has no visitation rights. I think that if you have your kids or kid full time, no shared parenting would make you a single father. it is nice to know their are others out here.

In my experience...us full custody dads are great conversation pieces. ladies compliment My dedication to my daughter. But when it comes down to it..ladies I've come in contact with are put off by the competition for my attention. Even single moms seem put off by my situation. I hoped they'd understand.

Idk, I think when it comes to guys with daughters I am ultra sensitive with men who put too much emphasis on their relationship as a father to the point where it interfere's with normal adult relationships.
The one experience I had with a single dad who had a daughter really freaked me the fu*k out.
There were no physical or emotional bounderies in place.
To the point of HER acting more like a jealous gf than a daughter...
She was 12 yrs old and dude claimed he still had to "help her wash her hair".
He would also let her climb into bed with him in the middle of the night whenever she wanted.
I seriously contemplated reporting him but i never got his address and all I had was his prepaid cell phone number.

Anna...I never got the feeling ive freaked anyone out. My daughter is 5, ive been the sole provider since she was three. her mother sees her about 5 hours a month. I came from a no mom or dad ordeal. I was raised by my grandparents. And I viewed to do my part in my daughters life. And then I was given the blessing/burden of doing it alone. True, my free time is very limited. But I do have some. And I'd try making more if there was a lady I wanted to pursue, or wanted me to pursue her. Lol its not my fault im a dad with a daughter to raise.

Hi,
Single dad with 50/50 custody. Seems from the posts below that women aren't really interested in dads. Their loss I guess. Kids come first anyway.

From what I've seen, this is my OPINION.. as SOME of the men here and myself KNOW we are good men and responsible and loving, caring and all that, and we are Full time dads.
I constantly see the women saying this "Where are all the good men?" What they really mean is "Where are all the Hot supermodel looking men?" Because that's what I am gathering from this. They keep asking this question because they are clicking past the average looking guy that is very responsible and a full time dad just because he is Bald, or has a pot belly or he just isn't attractive.
But that's the answer to "Where are all the good men?"
We are right in your damn face. You have to sacrifice or "Settle" for one thing if you can't get both.
Can't have your cake and eat it too. 
That's just my 2 cents. Take it as you will, if it offended any women I'm sorry but that's what I feel is the reason behind it and why the genuine "good guys" get passed by.
Or your too young, or live States away. Cant tell you how many AMAZING men i have met on here, but you all live too far. I cant move, and my youngest is 4. thats a long time for a long distance relationship

Ehhh! These dating sites. ?? I question the reality of them. Here goes nothin. ... I am a single father of two children. I was previously divorced for abt 7 yrs prior to my children's mother, my ex wife passed away. This hapned abt two yrs ago. We are all devistated over the loss of such a. Beautiful person. I'd trade places with her In a second if I cud. She was a great mother. I'm such a loser for a dad. I can't wash clothed, do dishes or cook dinner right for the kids and I. It has been a challenge that's for sure. I love them dearly and keep warm and close to them.

Thats a little different... Your daughter is 5 yrs old.
Shes still at that poijnt where she needs most of your attention and thats understandable.
But when I hear parents talking about devoting ALL their time to their kids who are a little older it makes me pause and ask why.
My son is 8 yrs old. Smart, creative, and everyday that I see him become more self reliant, I become more proud.
I just stop and wonder why parents get so wrapped up in being parents that the forget their ultimate goal is to create a fully functioning adult.
People say "My kid comes first"
Okay... Thats all well and good but when your child hits 18 and is gone for the rest of your life.
Will you still be putting them first?
The way I was taught it was God, spouse and THEN children.
Somehow people get all twisted in their thinking and expect others to follow along.
Yes I want someone who will be good to my son.
But when making that final decision I want someone I can spend the rest of my life with after the kids are gone.
And that means you gotta qualify for a whole helluvalot more than just getting along with my kid.

I'm attracted to a man who has their children in their lives period. Rather it's every other weekend, every other month or everyday. When he puts his children first , it tells a lot about him as a person. I know not all situations allow men to see their kids when they want so IM understanding of that.

Heaven forbid your kid ever gets verbally or physically violent with your supposed significant other...
If you're sure you will always choose your kid over your partner/spouse, then im not sure why you guys are lookin for relationships in the first place.
Seems like you're fighting a losing battle.
Like it or not there comes a time when you have to teach your kid how to stand up for themselves and what they want.
But just how can you do that when you prostrate yourself as their personal slave put on earth to serve only them?
Seems to me you guys are either HUGE liars when it comes to putting yourself last or you are seriously delusional as to the effects that will have on your kids in the long run.

Putting kids first has nothing at all to do with the garbage u are speaking. Thats what most of it is complete garbage. There is a difference in putting kids first and teaching them right from wrong. Its not rocket science to figure that out. Kids do something wrong they know and they will be taught whats right. I would rather be single than with someone who takes and thinks they should be put before my kids. Thats why they are called kids not adults. If there is a parent that puts themselves before their kids then i feel bad for the kids.

Again... Im wondering wth you even try looking for someone.
The reality of the process is
Meet a woman, fall in love, get married, have kids.
The unspoken rule being that your wife came first and therefore always will.
Now obviously speaking, you have fu*ked up your process or else you wouldnt be single.
And im thinking you are seriously delusional if you think you are going to get a woman to willingly accept that fu*ked up process and then agree to NEVER come first in your life.
Might as well get comfortable being single...

I completely agree...no man will ever come before my daughter. What is good for her is the most important thing. Her being around a bunch of different guys just because it's more convenient for me is not good for her. Sorry, but if a guy can't accept that my kid comes first then they aren't the kind of person I want to be dating anyway.

I agree. A child should come first. At least until they are adults themselves and no longer rely on your support. I admire all selfless parents who put their desires on thr back burner. my mother and father were too busy putting me somewhere around 16th most important. I would rather be proud I succeeded in parenting than proud I got a date. However, it would be great to do both. Its just so hard, and frankly kind of scary.

I agree kids are VERY important.
But I also believe that people are inherently selfish animals.
And in expecting someone to be selfless when it comes to you and you arent willing to give that much in return, you wont ever stand a chance at finding a love that lasts a lifetime.
Im not looking for love right now.
And since there isnt anyone who can return any logical introspective, I guess these posts are more like an ongoing conversation in my own head.
~~~~~
Hey colts, I get that you personally feel attacked by my posts.
But my lack of response to your trying to bait me is because honestly, you have very little bearing on my thought process.
I see what has come from you as nothing more than the wounded howlings of a hurt animal.
And I take that only to mean that what I have posted must have hit very close to home for you to be trying so desperately hard to insult me.
(P.S. Ask around, I dont insult easy. Nor do I back off quickly. In the end, your attempts make me laugh more than anything else.)

Anna...no offense but you're ignorant. All colts is saying is that what's good for his kids will always be most important. The person you date comes after that. Obviously you don't have kids, because you don't understand. If you do have kids, I feel sorry for them. Dating is so much easier if you're selfish and do what you want to do when you want to do it, but it ends up hurting the kids in the long run. No man will ever tell me to take time away from my daughter or give me an ultimatum like it's me or the kid. You need to grow up and realize life isn't all about you.

I can't believe what I just read. A single mom posted a request for a man with no kids on the single father's forum. I understand it's a free world, but we exist and through no fault of her own my daughter has me to raise her. Regardless of what happens on this site my daughter is first.

Umm... Yeah. Where did I say ANYTHING about dating????
Seems to me like you need to do a little more reading before you close your mind to what I have said.
You little one, are the one who needs to grow up.
Ftr,
I am not interested in dating atm.
I AM looking for logical introspective feedback which seriously seems to be lacking in this forum.
What? You guys check your brains and ability to debate at the door just cause you have kids?
I guess I AM over reaching in expecting ANYONE in this forum for whiny b*tches, who like to blame their perpetual single status on the fact they have kids, to actually have anything interesting to say in response.
I am simply trying to debate common conceptions about being a parent and finding a love that lasts a lifetime.
As far as I know, the way yall are going about it hasnt worked for anyone... Ever.
If someone managed to come up with a logical reason for believing the way they do I would be open to hearing it and might even change my stance on the subject.
But unfortunately I just keep see the same BS reasons and excuses bouncing back and forth between people looking to validate their own reason for being single.
But in the long run that isnt going to get you anywhere.
A mind could shrivel up and die in here, without anyone even noticing!

You really are a moron Anna. I'm not blaming my being single on being a parent. I have a very busy schedule and I'll admit that. Maybe it's you who needs to do the reading. Most people on here have not said that their kids are the reason they are single, just that their kids come first. It's a lot harder to date when you aren't selfish, but that doesn't mean that I'm blaming my daughter for being single.

As of this post I am no longer interested in responding to you. In fact if I had known you had some sort of learning disability I wouldnt have responded in the first place.
I truly believe there is someone out there for everyone.

Single weekend dad of a beautiful 14 year old angel. I'm not ashamed to be a weekend dad.
I'm glad to have that, when I first got divorced my x took off across the country and I didnt get to see my girl for 3 years. My x is an awesome mother, we just didn't get along and she did that to spite me. I could of pushed for custody, but im about keeping the drama to a minimum, and to drag my daughter through an across country custody dispute was not something i wanted to put her through. Now that my x has grown up some, she moved back and I get to see my daughter.
Just because I only get my daughter on the weekends, doesn't make me any less of a man, and damn sure doesn't mean I love her any less.
Every custody situation is different. Take each with a grain of salt.

Single weekend dad of a beautiful 14 year old angel. I'm not ashamed to be a weekend dad.
I'm glad to have that, when I first got divorced my x took off across the country and I didnt get to see my girl for 3 years. My x is an awesome mother, we just didn't get along and she did that to spite me. I could of pushed for custody, but im about keeping the drama to a minimum, and to drag my daughter through an across country custody dispute was not something i wanted to put her through. Now that my x has grown up some, she moved back and I get to see my daughter.
Just because I only get my daughter on the weekends, doesn't make me any less of a man, and damn sure doesn't mean I love her any less.
Every custody situation is different. Take each with a grain of salt.
No but it sure as hell means you dont have NEAR the same responsabilities!
I mean cmon! You JUST admitted you went 3 years without so much as even TRYING to see your daughter.
Forget that bs about being anti drama, sounds like you didnt care enough to make the effort.

I do have the same responsibilities, just for 60 hours, my x gets the other 108. That doesn't mean I love her any less. Why are you constantly putting down every man that doesn't have 100% custody of there child? Do you have some inner personal issues you need to deal with? Your father never see you? You have kids with deadbeat fathers? I'm not honestly going to give you the time of day to look at your profile to see. My x wife took my daughter. I couldn't do anything about it. Well I could, but really, within 3 years she bounced from Oregon, to Texas, to arkansas. I looked into it, there was no where in the divorce that said she couldn't leave Florida. I always was told she would be back In 6 months. Always running to her mother whenever she had a problem, never wanting to work anything out. She did it to punish me because of her own deep seeded issues with her father. Well her mother screwed her over in the end and she realized I was really the only one she could trust and moved back to florida, close enough where i could see my daughter on a regular basis. Ive gotten into enough details, but like I said EVERY custody dispute is different. I care for my daughter, see her when I can, pay over the amount I'm supposed to in child support, I'm there for my child, I support her, give her guidance, tell her I'm proud of her, wipe her tears, she's daddy's little girl. Don't come on here and judge me. You have no idea what I do to make sure my x-wife's new little "family" always has a safety net. I'm not apologizing for my daughter not living with her mother and myself both 100% of the time, that's just not possible.

Its laughable that you chalk it up to "daddy issues" or that you rationlize to yourself that you have NEAR the same responsabilities as a full time parent.
You get your kid on the weekends. You dont have to deal with yelling at her to clean her room, or trying to get her to eat her dinner.
I have guy friends that only have their kids on the weekends but I dont see them EVER giving some bs excuse for not seeing their kid on a regular basis, let alone for THREE years!
"Oh I could have tried to see her but I didnt. I knew she was a flake and would come crawling back eventually"
Meanwhile you got to live your life kidfree for 3 years. No REAL parent ever has that option.
No one could ever take my kid away from me for that long without me planning a murder. And I know several fathers who feel the same way.
You're an embaressment to REAL dads everywhere.

Anna, you still take every post and twist every negative out of it. I really feel sorry for you and your kids for the negative outlook you have on the world. I am done debating my worth as a father to you. The people around me know I'm a good father. You see the world in black and white, not the 1000s of shades of grey it actually is. You should do us a favor and actually look at yourself before you start being judge jury and executioner. Judge not lest ye be judged yourself. I for one, and I'm sure most on this thread are done with your negativity, this is supposed to be a positive thread, let's keep it that way.

I used to be a deadbeat--but after Aug. 20, 2007 I have been in my two teen daughter's lives. They even moved from Michigan with their mom to stay with me. I am a full time around the clock dad. No space for relief and I love every waking minute. God gave me the opportunity to raise them in their stages before becoming a women. I am grateful to be in their lives responsibly. 24/7---Commend all the father's keep it up. I come with a package it;s three of us ladies no negotiation all or none.

Everyone just needs to ignore her! Some are just bored and on he to stir up drama on social media. Its called date hook up. If u ain't trying to date or hook up... then I don't understand why some ppl r in these forums... boredom.

As long as ur emotionally n financially supporting ur child/children, ur a good dad. Why let some stranger define something they know nothing of
