I'm right there with you bud. If this was easy everyone would do it. My guess is we are hearing from a lot of women who don't have their kids. Which to me means I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole much less mine. A woman who doesn't help raise her kids is useless in my book. I am raising my adopted step kids by myself and I cannot believe what some of these women are saying. We are screwed up for raising our kids? wtf? Someone has to kiss ouchies and cook supper all the while trying to convince them it's not their fault mom puts her own craziness before them, soak up all the tears she left in her wake. The biggest difference I see is women have people lining up to help them. Most people don't seem to think single dads even exist. You would think they would be lining up to get us if for no other reason but we don't run no matter how hard it gets. Sometimes you have to cut off the diseased hand to save the rest of the body. Good luck man.

Thanks bud I needed that. I am afraid my wiener may check into a shelter though.lol

Yep what you said.

wow.

singles dads are just as awesome as single moms! You deserve as much credit!

"Ifyou're you ever get time, like their mom actually takes 'em for the weekend or something, you should look if you can. I didn't, and now I am looking way late in life. It is worth it in the end, but would have been more pleasant if I could've found a single mommy to mend two families...."



My wife decided she wanted a different life and left me with a 1 1/2 and 4 year old. Raised them by myself for 5 years after the divorce finalized. I remarried and the new wife even adopted my kids. Now at almost 16 and 18, SHE decided that she wanted the party/bar scene, so another divorce goes down... I don't understand what the deal is. Anyway, I have 3 more years before the youngest is "out of the house" as she was born late in the year. The kids are pretty hacked about it all and really don't want anything to do with her now, so looks like I'm back to single dad status. I'm definitely up for dating, but I'm pretty gun shy for getting serious with someone again.

Love love love admire & honor single dads !!! :/)

i dated a guy over 10yrs ago
that was a single father
for 2yrs

i wouldnt mind one bit
to find another guy
that is a single parent


i have a nephew that has been a single father
for a few yrs
my great niece(she is 4yrs old) mom
is still in the pic (semi)
but he has mainly full custody

im learning the realities of this.
it's great to say sure I'll go out with a single dad.
it's not a bad thing but a big adjustment to actually date one.

it takes finesse to include the child and still have time for each other.
also, at least in my situation, even though he has only one son, it takes getting used to having multiple kids around.
it's a joy when you start bonding

I have seen this type post in different forms many times. But same core type question.

IMO,

Single Dad and Moms are special people in the sense that they handle their responsibilities without complaint and they are tough people. Their #1 objective is the welfare of their children, which I admire.. very much.

I have the utmost respect for single parents who, thru sacrifice and determination raise their children.

i also have a cousin
that has raised his daughter
from birth
for her mom was in the slammer
for drugs (not sure if she still is)

she is now 4yrs old
and i have to say
i salute
single fathers

my cousin has bent over backwards
even took on 4 jobs
even has worked as a forrest ranger

even though she doesnt know her mom
he will make sure the right one
will come along

op... I don't really think anything about single dads ...
before I meet them that is ...

I think it's awesome! And sexy

We Men are bound to make mistake and get them patched. I love my kid and though a widower. We all don't plan to fail or have a broken home..still boils down at understanding and commitment.

Amen Man. I got two girls and a son. I've been looking for a good girl to join OUR family but they're lose. I think they assume its our fault we're single.

there are a lot of assumptions about single moms or single dads.
however, like many situations, when you get to know the person and what they're about, you either find someone you're compatible with or you keep moving.

it is a bit different dating a single parent because you have more than yourself as a couple to consider.

it takes time and effort to bond with the child or children and make them part of the relationship.
it also takes someone willing to be understanding. in a relationship we often want to bethe nnumber one priority.
however in a relationship where there are children involved, especially younger ones, one has to remember that the child is the priority.
it can get a bit challenging, especially if one is dating a parent who has sole custody. but it's not impossible

good post dreamer

being a single parent does not stamp anyone as good, bad, hardworking, or lazy

only their action does that
when it comes parents who work hard and are good parents to their kids,,

I have plenty of respect for their doing the job meant for two ,,,,the best they can

You were right. I'll admit I had a bitter taste in my mouth that day and regret the cold statement. Its just ironic though. All the guys I know seem to think being a single dad makes you a chick magnet but what they don't know is that it makes you a chick repelant. And I know single moms endure the same treatment. I just don't understand how all the single moms I try to talk to complain about not being able to find a good man to be in a serious relationship with but then I'm like hey here I am they have a thousand excuses to not wanna try. Then I see them on here month after month with the same complaint. Am I not attractive? Am I not rich enough? I must not be doing something right.

Hot hot hot lol, as a single mom, watching a man who knows how to treat his kids, and love them is a very attractive trait

Again as a single parent, I see it as a great trait that a man knows how to look after and love his kids on behalf of two, I think a lot of single parents though presume that one is looking for another person to become an instant mommy
