    How ignorant...

    Says the single mother looking for a sugar daddy

    Why the hell would anyone want the wrecked village bike when 18 year old girls are coming on the market everyday

    Ugh.

    In an ideal situation dating a woman with kids would be no issue. Sure if you like her why not.
    That said... when is it ever an ideal situation in this world? The father could be poking his head around causing you grief. Kids might hate you. Imagine being step-daddy to a moody 14yo who constantly reminds that you are not their daddy. She (mother) will always feel that the kids come first (fair enough on one hand, but that's also not fair to you as well)

    I get it... some guys have successful relationships with mothers with kids. But the successul ones don't mean all will be like that.
    At the risk of getting a bashing from other boards members. Just hook up with a mother. Think long... and very hard before anything else.

    hooking up with her could be risky as well, iv had the chance to hook up with single mothers and chose not to, what if you add to the kids she has:eek:

    Interesting topic.
    I've as a single free male dated women with child(ren) that were dependent on their mom. No real issue with it. Relationships just didnt work out for other reasons.

    I now find myself contemplating going back into the world of dating, but this time as a single dad and I dont know how I feel about it. Obviously dating a single mom now means 2 kids involved and while that I dont mind I'm more scared of will women with no children date me or are they now a grp that's shut off to me. Would you date a single dad?

    Not all single mothers want a relationship. Some just want some fun at the weekend as they are too tied down to their kid(s) and jobs during the week to have time for a relationship.

    It wouldn't be ideal for me personally, but few relationships are absolutely ideal. If you met someone you really liked and got along with as well as being attracted to, you shared the same sense of humour and values, had similar goals and opinions and clicked in every way and they also have a child, it seems like a lot of potential happiness landed in your lap for the sake of adapting to a little person you might get very fond of and enjoy having around anyway.

    As for never being the most important thing in the mans life, that's easy. Kids come first, always (or nearly always). If the man didn't put his child first then I'd probably be completely uninterested in him as a person as I don't see that as a positive trait.

    Not quite single (well, technically he was) but I went out with a separated father before. Never ever ever again.

    His kids were spoiled little madams. I met his ex wife a few times and she was lovely. She said to me herself that the kids (her own children remember) were way too spoilt by him.
    She wasn't bad mouthing him or anything. They still got on fine, but it was absolutely true.

    If that's one of your life goals, good look to you. As for the use of the word "bastard", it's incredibly distasteful and just shows us all the type of person you truly are.
