Why is it that you don't hear women say "I don't want to raise another woman's kid" yet you hear men say "I don't want to raise another mans kid"?

Because there are women who are hot, responsibe, fun to be with and DON'T have kids. Why is that so hard for people to understand? I would be denying myslef happiness and my sanity dating a woman with kids.

Maybe I should start a new thread, but I am curious with the men who won't date single moms, do you ask women if they are single moms before you start dating? And if you don't, when you find out later that they have a child, do you then stop dating them? I really am curious because in all my dating, no one has ever asked me (although I am sure to volunteer the information as soon as it comes naturally into conversation*). So I am wondering how you find this out.

I suppose it's different and you do online dating and it's right there on a screen in front of you, but how do you approach the subject otherwise?




* I should note that I tend to date men who are also single parents, so it's not like a bomb dropping. The man I am seeing now doesn't have kids, but he's know me for a long time and he knows my daughter too--so I didn't have to break it to him before dating, lol.

Yeah but they don't say it 1/10th as much as men. The thought is much more repulsive to men in general than women and I'm Just wondering what the psychology is behind it.

It comes out one way or the other. It's just like any other deal breaker you have if you're already dating. Once you find out, you're just honest that's not something you're looking for in an LTR.

Yes, who wouldn't? If I'm talking to a woman I'm interested in when I go out, I ask are you married, do you have a boyfriend, do you have kids. If she says yes to any of the above the conversation usually ends quickly.
