I will never date a man who has kids again. The last time I did, it turned out that this guy was still creeping around with his "baby mama", he even let her move back in and didn't think I would find out. I have no kids, so I prefer a man who has no kids. I don't like "baby mama drama" and I don't think I should have to deal with that crap.

It was truly interesting to see several of the responses on here. I myself never married and I don't have any kids. But I would imagine that single dads have an even harder time to date than single moms, because even the single moms don't want to worry about someone else's kids.

I don't want kids of my own, and I certainly don't want someone else's.
Kids are a dealbreaker for me.

Single parents can date other single parents.

If a single parent doesn't want to date someone else with kids, then it should be obvious to them why a childless person would not be interested in dating a single parent.

WOW you could be missing out on the love of your life with that attitude. I met my wonderful soul mate 11 years ago and he was divorced with 3 boys...UGH!!!!!
I never became their step mom but became their friend. I never lived with them or did any mom like things for them. But I am indeed their friend. I never interfered with their relationship with him and now they are grown and we are still going strong. There is no other man like the man I have. I am thankful that I did not allow the fact that he had kids to stop me from loving him. I never wanted kids either...and have never had a child.

I have never believed in this man created institution. He did ask and I did decline and we are happy as can be 11 years later.

A true soul mate is someone you don't have to trap with marriage.

Not to many woman want to raise another woman's kids. Think about it a woman would have to deal with a mans ex GF or wife and i bet she a itch to deal with in most cases.

Men on the other hand will and are for the most part willing to date a single mom no problem . The odd are the single mother baby daddy is not in the pic so the guy does not have to deal with that bag for which one douches in .


yea i am generalizing get over it people.
