I THink its way harder for a single dad to find a woman than it is for single mum, In our society its view like He done somthing really bad, I don`t know maybe im wrong

I'm single and have a beautiful daughter, although she lives with her mum.

I have to say I'd certainly have no probs seeing a girl who's a single mum, wouldnt be the first time either.

Its funny that some guys get hung up on the fact you have a child/children, its not like its anything to be ashamed about.

In my view, if a guy cant take you and you kid(s) as a package, or has a problem with it, he's not worth the bother, this applies to girls too. i've had girls not go out with me purely because I have a daughter. I always make sure that one of the first things I mention is the fact I'm a father, after all she's quite a large part of my life, and not something I should have to or want to try to hide.

asked the exact same thing on 4th june on the dating forum under "Y"!i got the same,although my daughter's recently left home!most people just don't want to be lumbered with other peoples kids(sad but true)just noticed this was also posted on 4th june

Must admit that the issue of having a child has only come up once in my past & that was when i was dating a girl with no kid's . She knew i had a daughter from the start cause i was upfront with her but some month's into dating her a friend of her's let it slip to me that she did'nt see a future with a guy who had a kid , at the time i was kinda confused as my daughter lives with her mum & i alway's made time for her & my daughter but then i could see the other side as somone single with no kid's would idealy want to be with somone who has'nt got kids ! Of course i stopped dating her but dating women with kid's is not an issue with me & the older you get you must realize people do come with baggage of all kinds weather it be money , family , health & personal issue's etc

I'm not just a single mum, I'm a single mum with an autistic child. Most of my child-free friends don't visit anymore because he tears around the house, throwing and destroying things while laughing all the while. For anyone who isn't used to it, it's incredibly unnerving. People just assume he's a bratty child and I'm a crap mum - as you can imagine, dating possibilities are near zero.

But oh well, I guess if it happens, brilliant, if not, at least I know where the batteries are.

its hard enough to find a man who is willing to take us as a whole packge but when we have a child that displays behaviour problems associated with a disability such as asd and learning disabilitys (as my daughter has)even when i do meet somebody i am very reluctant to let them into our lives for the fact people are ignorant and these days empathy and compassion isn people is so very sparse!!im slowly giving up on love!!

id like to offer my opinion if nobody objects, i firmly believe that single women with children are far more attractive than single women without, one reason is because they dont have time to prance around trying to impress men flirting teasing and playing silly cum get me games which is pathetic, an all u barbies out there take not, thats if you can read, single mothers prove time and time again that they work hard, they have an immense ammount of love and devotion oozing out of them, they strive to obtain all the best they can for their kids and above all that they still look healthy happy and beautifull, any man who would rather have a barbie girl rather than a single mum is a totally self obsessd prat and only thinks about what he looks like with hi trophy girl, give me a single mum every time, the kids are a bonus as well because they have a personality of their own and they can make you laugh cry worry and be proud as you get to watch them grow into adults, FELLAS GET A GRIP, YOUR LOOKING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, but sod em if they want to be used by a barbie golddigger then let em, SINGLE MUMS GET MY VOTE UR TOP OF MY LIST! peace and happiness to you all paul x x x,,,,,

You go girl. What you say is too true. I have a 5 year old daughter and me and her mum are cool. we work towards what is best for her even if we want to kill each other. I think that People(male or female) don't know the beuty or responsibility of having kids untill they have them. Being a parent has made me less interested in searching for love, or a partner because it takes all your time doin the best for your unconditionals. XXX
