The worst thing and most hurtful thing that could ever happen I imagine would be getting rejected because of the most wonderful thing that could have ever happened to me. The thought of someone thinking less of me or treating me differently and using my son against me honestly makes me feel sick. I know loads of you men on here refuse to date a single parent and I understand that.

I'd date a single mom, no problem..I like being around kids. All of my ex-girlfriends had kids.

1) What type of guys are you after? Reason for asking is when this subject comes acress, it seems to teeter around childless guys who are the ones that "run" when they find out you have a child. Are you exclusively seeking childless men or also single dads?

2) Which leads me to my next question, if you managed to find a childless man to settle down would you be open to having a child with him? There are plenty of guys who would love nothing more than to go through the process of being a dad. For some men, it's a huge milestone. Would you be too concerned with him paying favoritism with his child against yours?

Around these parts (where I live) most women seem to have a two child limit before they hit 30 and any guy without kids are expected to suck it up unless an accident happens. I've watch many of my childless freinds get into this and after a few years I get to hear all the buyers remorse stories of never going to be a dad, I can't describe how crushing it is to see them like this.
I'm happy to answer any questions and of course I'll be honest...

1) I would like to meet a good, loving,kind,honest and decent guy....... I would date a single dad I think it would be tricky us both having kids and maybe the other kids mother would not want her child mixing with mines etc....in my experience some women can be really nasty when their ex meets someone new but I wouldn't rule anyone out.


2) i would definetly be open tonthe idea of having another child but that would only be an option if i was married........I really don't think the guy i choose to marry would favour his own child over mines due to the fact that I would be married therefore the guy would have spent a considerable amount of time with my son although its obviously a thought as I know how much I love my son therefor think could someone else love him as much.

If you have anything else to ask feel free

This is pathetic!!

Not all women want a man to look after them financially, certainly not me anyways. I'm more than capable of looking after my son all on my own I don't need a man to spend his precious hard earned money on my son or myself......I don't understand how some men think like that? I mean don't you realise we have supported ourselves and children perfectly fine before you came along so what makes you think that's going to change?

My sons father made his decision not to be a dad while I was pregnant and no he does not pay for him. I do not wish to take any money off him, In my opinion money means nothing in comparison with a full time loving father.

Woman like you is PATHETIC and SELFISH, you never really took consideration of your kid's well being! what if you kid wants a dad?? You have brutally deprived his/her basic huamanright for being a single monther by choice!! You said you don't wish to take any money from him, becacuse you are a proud woman who can take care the kid by yourself, lol. just because you had kids with a douchebag doesn't make you a good person, and your poor decision does tell people some of your abnormal personality traits. How rich you are? Do you have a six figures job? raising a kid today ( in a health way) is very expensive!

I am a Chinese single professional male, I make about 4K a month and I definitely wouldn't have kids without my parents financial assistance. My girlfriend is a smart, beautiful and respectable Jewish lady, she said she would never have kid before the marriage
