Also if they choose to not date a woman with a/or kid(s); it's their preference and doesn't make them bad men. Probably the ones who don't care are in your friends zone. Just an added note. There are some women who don't date men with a/or kid(s). In other words you have to deal the hand life has dealt you. It's that simple.

soulflight Dayton, OH 52, joined Apr. 2014	My personal choice was to not date until the youngest was in high school and well on her way to independence. Parenting does take 100% of your time, directly or indirectly and the time I took for myself was still an investment in them. I needed to be healthy and whole before I even considered being in a partnership again. I always knew that I could not reasonably date during that time, it's just how I'm wired. Some women can. They have a better, broader support system. It's a challenge for any single parent and some difficult choices will have to be made. That's the commitment of parenting. Another thread is making great sport of the 90 day rule re: sex but too many kids are exposed to mom or dad's new squeeze in less time than that.

Raising another man's child is life's ultimate failure for a man - that's just instinct and nothing you could ever do will ever change it. And be aware that when that cat is away, the mouse will be a complete jackass to your kids cuz NO man has your kid's best interests in mind other than the one you made the kids with. Maybe you should've made it work with THAT guy. At least thats how any worthwhile man is gonna see your situation. Hes gonna think to himself, that if your kids truly mattered to you, you would have. He's gonna project your failure to do what's best for those kids onto the potential kids he would plan on having with you and... errrr! next please Unless a chick is an undeniable 10 all around, the baby daddy is tragically deceased, its 1 or 2 small children, and the kids could pass as my own (which means they'd have to be adorable ) I just can't see any potential whatsoever in a relationship with a single mother

Because this is America and the culture here has pretty much destroyed women from the younger generations. Women aren't mothers anymore. They're either obese, man-hating, working professionals with cats or they're subsidized baby factories encouraged to break up the family they recklessly started for a free ride and a biweekly allowance in child support payments.

reader85037 Phoenix, AZ 39, joined Apr. 2014	it just seems like men now days don't want to date single moms What do you mean now a days? Can you remember a time when men were clamoring all over the place "Why can't we find more single mothers?! Where are all the single mothers?! I'm tired of dating these no child single losers!" why is it so hard being a single mom and dating Because despite all the smoke being blown up your a** about how single mothers are some sort of hero, in the eyes of the dating "world," or dating pool of desirable people, you basically have a c*ckblocking parasitic STD that is never going to go away and is more than likely going to cause problems and stress in the future. Because people that take relationships seriously understand that dating a single mother means forming 2 long term serious relationships as opposed to just one. Because people already know, or at least feel, on an instinctual level that you've pair bonded with someone else, you've chosen someone else to mate with and judge their genes as worthy to pass on. So any kids you may have in the future there is greater potential for doubt as to whose it really is. I mean this other one isn't his, so who's to say this new one isn't either? Not to mention the kid that isn't his represents future competition. And that's 90%+ why men find you attracted and want to date you in the first place...you represent someone they want to pass their genes on with. Thanks to civilization people don't act like lions and perform infanticide (all that often, albeit some women seem to kill their kids when trying to attract a new mate) when taking on a mate with kids. Ehhh...lots more reasons, I'm just bored of typing. Sorry. Thems the breaks kid.
