This comes from one of the other threads and Ive never heard the question asked. For men:

Would you Date/Pursue a single woman who chose to have a baby alone, without a man, through AI? I'm talking about otherwise healthy women(Who could get pregnant conventionally) who chose to have a baby without an SO or husband in her life. Some people would say that this is selfish. I think that arguement could be offset by the natural biological desire to reproduce.

For me, I would be fine with it unless she had some underlying Psychological issues behind the decision.

A nice straight yes/no will sufice. No bashing please.

The way I see it, you're asking the question backwards.

A woman choosing artificial insemination wouldn't make me more likely to pursue her.

I think you want to know if a woman choosing artificial insemination would make someone less likely to pursue her.

On that, I'll answer yes. Kids are great. They are also a great responsibility - a responsibility that is not really one that I'm wanting to deal with.
So, it's not the fact that she choose artificial insemination, it's just the fact that she has a kid and that's something I'd prefer not to deal with.

Why should I care about how she had a baby? It's not my baby, and if she chooses to have one, by AI, IVF, ONS, etc., why is that my business?

That's what I'm wondering, too.

The potential issue would be the complications that come from dating someone with a child. How the child was conceived is of no concern to me.

It may or not matter, that why I posted the question. From my perspective It's about making the decision to purposely decide to have a child alone, and would that affect a womens prospects of having a future relationship with a man?

I have a woman at work that decided to do this twice. Shes not a Lesbian, she was just 35 and wanted a kid and the available male pool was lacking so she decided to go it alone. She went to a sperm bank and was inseminated artificially.

That's why I said "potential issue," because it would be an issue for some and not for others. I'm just saying if there is an issue, it's likely to be due to the fact that there is a child, not due to how the child was created.
