It is the same if you really think about it.
The question is ... "Would you DATE a single mom/dad?"
The question is not ... "Would you MARRY that person?"
People date others all the time who are hot looking who they have no intention of marrying... |

This tells me all I need to know that im not interested in dating this woman. Obviously its not because she's a single mom, but because her behavior shows how incredibly irresponsible she is in that regard. She is smoking hot btw, but definitely not a relationship material.

That's a very interesting situation ... particularly if the father is mostly out of the picture.
The child could almost grow up thinking you were the father.
To me ... that's not so different than having a kid with her yourself. |

Actualy the father is in the picture and he is a standup guy, but the reason they are divorced is that he was cheated on several times. Wish I never wasted my time, to be perfectly honest. |

No way! As a matter of fact, I had to clip a friendship with a male friend who had a little girl. He actually asked me to be his baby's mama! When we hung out at his place he was always asking me to brush his daughters's hair and take care of her! Children aren't for me...ever!

Good thing you RAN. That was presumptuous on his part. Where was the girl's mother? Was he even married to her?
They say you change your mind on this when they are your own, but once I turned 35 and added 22 to get them through college, I said this ain't for me, so I'll never know. |

a single woman worthy of dating is a woman with kids that are grown and the father or multiple fathers are dead. This ensures that he will not be in and out of her life...

Ain't that the truth. BTW: I voted might consider widow. There was a receptionist for a while that I got along with fantastically. She was feisty and had gone to parochial school, like me, and we were the exact same age. I only liked her as a friend. She had a thing for picking bad men, and had 2 or 3 kids from 2 different guys.
We decided to go to an Italian restaurant one Saturday afternoon because she told me I would dig it. It was good and the owner was awesome. She brought her daughter along. We split the tab appropriately.
She said: "The next time we can go to...."
My thought: "there is NO next time" |

In reality i don't think Ive ever seen a really attractive man or woman with a great attitude get rejected for having children.
I have a great looking cousin who has an Air about him who has women throwing theirselves at him and the douche has 3 kids out of wedlock with 3 different women. "You hang a great looking piece of meat in front of a dog and thats all they see". Not the best analogy but it applies.

No.
I have a vasectomy for a reason.
All of the drama that goes along with a woman having a kid or kids from another guy or more than one guy is not something that I should have to include in this amazing journey known as my life.
And seriously, if someone is single and has a child or children - they need to direct their time, energy and resources towards raising those children (and yeah, it is a fulltime job if you are a parent folks) and not dating.
