I would never judge someone because they are a single parent, and when I was single I did date a couple of very wonderful, attractive, successful men who happened to be dads as well. I do not see the correllation between a cigarette smoker and a single parent at all, one gives you cancer and takes away life, the other enriches it.
The tv show about the single father looking for a wife.... got me thinking....
Would anyone date a single parent?
To me, that kid at home or every other weekend is about as attractive as a cigarette hanging out the mouth or yellow teeth.
I might if the kid was over 18 and not living at home.
Just don't understand all those women lining up to date/marry a man w/ a kid.
Just to let you know, I'm a single parent with a young kid, and while I can understand people's reasonings for not wanting to date someone like me, your post came off as crass and left a bad taste in my mouth.

Please do a search. This topic has been discussed a thousand times already. And to answer your question, I wouldn't chose to not date someone just because they're a single parent.

it sounds like you don't like having kids around
a lot of people DO like having kids around
parenting asks a person to develop skills like maturity, responsibility, patience, sharing, valuing a family.....those are really attractive traits to many people.
I would find it hard to date someone who did NOT have kids, whatever age they are. They tend to not understand or value what it is to be a parent. They tend to be more selfish and less flexible. That is just my experience, and by no means true for everyone.
When someone is a parent they usually have to grow as a person in a whole lot of ways that people who choose to remain childless don't.
yes of course. kids are great. i would not, if they had brought a child into this world and didnt take responsibility for it. thats ared flag. but someone caring for another individual is tops in my book.
