I was divorced about a year ago and fought fror 50% custody which i won. Now i am kind of stuck on how to date women when i have 2 kids. Most people my age dont have kids, and it seems that women that dont have kids have no interest in a guy that does. What it the TRUTH about my situation?

I am 25.
While i love my kids and they mean the world to me I sometimes feel like i kinda screwed myself by fighting for them. I thought women didnt mind kids..etc..

You don't need just any girl, you need someone who will love your kids and accept them as your own if you two ever get married. If you focus on being the best dad you possibly can be, the kind of women you are looking for will be throwing themselves at your feet!
Before you jump into another relationship, take a breath. Divorce is almost never just one person's fault. Have you addressed the issues that contributed to your last marriage not working out?

An age would help. It may take a while to find someone that wants a relationship. But since you have two kids it should be worth the wait to find someone compatible with both you and your kids. Dating a guy with kids isn't that taboo any more, so it isn't hopeless. You need to move in several different circles. Don't limit yourself to dating sites and bars, try going to the park, depending on the ages of your kids, there are play dates that could have single moms, sports events, school events or concerts to try. Don't give up - but don't rush either. Things happen for a reason.

If a women loves you for who you are she won't care if u have kids or not. She will understand the situation fully. You have duties to full fill and if she can't see that, then she is not for you. Talk to a woman and get ot know her an dif you really feel like you two have chemistry let her know before you two get involved or she will feel robbed. Let them come to you sometimes. ;)
Good Luck.

You have to be a parent first. In time, when someone geniune comes along and sees that you are a good parent as well as a great guy, they will love you.
Put the kids first and always first.

well some girls like men with kids because they like kids and some dont because they dont wanna get in that drama with the ex girlfriend or wife but yeah theyll be some that will and some that wont and i guess your just gonna have to find a girl that likes kids and is willing to be with you and your two kids.

Love your kids..openly. If the woman is worth anything, that will attract her to you. You know a man is not a deadbeat when he takes care of his family. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that?
Oh Yeah...good luck and God Bless.

What you do is try to meet someone on the internet like on eharmony and then you get together and watch "Cheaper by the Dozen" and Brady Bunch re-runs.

Geez, welcome to single mom world.
The truth is you should expect that your best dating prospects will be people in similar predicaments, because they will be the most understanding.
