Even if I did date single mothers, I would be hesitant to date a AI mother. She has show that she doesn't care for her kids to have a father in her life. She has shown she basically thinks the father is useless part of a childs upbringing. So why would I have a kid with a mother with those viewpoints? I'd much rather prefer a single mother who was divorced.
Or she just decided that she wanted to be a mother so badly that she wasn't willing to wait. Most women who go the AI route get their ducks in a row first and are financially secure and have adequate family support. They make sure that grandfathers and uncles and cousins are involved. Bottom line is that the child is wanted and planned, not just an accident she has to deal with.
I think every women wants their child to have a father but getting pregnant by a guy does not mean your child will have a father in their life.........I'm an example of that.
If you wanted a father in your kids life, you should have married a man and had a kid that way after you vetted him on his potential as a father.
It's an odd question. It seems to imply that an artificial type of conception might make a woman less desirable
Yep, that's exactly what I found odd about it. I know the OP will say, "Yeah, but that's why I asked," but just the fact that he thought it even needed to be asked is odd, I think.
Years ago I considered being an egg donor and ultimately decided against it partly because of that. I would always wonder if I had a biological child and it would depress me especially if I never had a child.
My issue with donating eggs was they have been opening closed adoption files. It's one thing to help out a stranger. And I don't mind giving my family medical history. But my privacy would be important.
I have no problems dating single mothers, and I share this view to a point. If the woman "really" has the viewpoint that a "father is worthless" than why should I date her? That would imply she would also think that her own father was worthless
In the case of the woman I work with and most women I imagine, it's more a case of running out of time combined with not finding an eligible man. This, I am fine with.
That is probably the norm in these situations. I would be suprised to hear about a ton of 20-something women going for AI or IVF, etc. One of the women I worked with took this route. She didn't have anyone in her life and she was in her late 30s. She's a PhD scientist who earns in the 6 figures and will no doubt provide a good life for her twin boys 100 fold compared to millions of children conceived by accident. With that said, it's likely that these type of women are not in the available dating pool for many men in this thread and on this forum.

So true, but your situation doesn't apply to this post. This is just about AI.

I really don't think I would do AI.
I think a father has a huge role to play in a child's life IF he is a good father. I would not intensionally demean the significants of a fathers role in a child's life by choosing AI unless I saw it as my only option.
