Would you date/marry a divorced woman with two young kids (less than 4 years) if she was the one that ended the marriage? No infidelity or anything like that,but marriage wasn't working out,frequent arguments,unhappy etc.
Dad would very likely still be in the picture and involved in kids lives.
Secondly,if mom and kids are a different race,specifically black?
ps. Please I don't need anyone to make a big deal about the race issue I am just looking for honest opinions.
Sometimes it is easier to ask strangers important questions.
Well, with two kids I will definitely NOT date her seriously. Maybe for sex thats about it. The race of the kids has absolutely no bearing on it and as far as Im concerned pointless.
Well, I am 26 so no I wouldn't date a divorced woman with kids. There are enough women in my age group who are never married and have no kids, so I'll always chose them over divorced women with kids. But if I was a divorced man with kids as well, then I wouldn't mind it. In fact, it's not like I would have much choice. The dating market for divorced people with kids are not as big as it were before they got married. Your pool of options is smaller, and rightly so.
You have to understand single men with no kids will always 99% of the time seek out single women with no kids.
This is true Dorrans. I learned at times it is easier to hang out with single dad's. But also there are men whom wanted children, but can't have them. Or men whom waited too long to have them. There are all kinds of different factors to deal with in different situations.
He's just being honest. She wants to know the truth. The truth is, just because a guy dates you it doesn't mean he considers you a viable lifetime option. We might know something, but it doesn't hurt to hear it out loud every once in a while to remind us. Some guys struggle with the idea of paying for some other guys offspring. Some guys like it. It feeds a hero complex. Look for a cop or a fireman. These professions draw a lot of macho jerks, but they also draw a lot of guys who want to rescue someone.
I think it makes it much easier that the kids' dad is in the picture. If the woman was very attractive and we had a lot in common, I would consider it if she only had one kid. But two, no way. I'd be quite up front and honest with her about this.
But if the woman had kid(s) and the dad was NOT around, I would not even consider it. But that has nothing to do with the OP's current situation. I think its really cool that the dad will continue to be there for the children. As a parent myself, I think its great.

In a word, no. Plenty of women out there without the baggage. Only way I'd consider it was if she totally outshines all other women possible.
