There are some of us out there that will date men with children. I have dated 4 men that had kids. The latest guy I dated had four kids and what made me really fall for him was how he interacted with his children.
I think the biggest reason women are not looking into a relationship with some single fathers is that if you have your kids every other weekend, that means their time with you is limited. They are not the center of your world, your kids are. If a woman feels that way you are better off with out her to start with.
Also many men that already have kids don't want any more. They may say they do to start with, but then change their minds. This is a big consideration for me, I want kids and that isn't a point I am willing to cave in on.
Good luck and keep looking!

Single dads DO get praise. The thing is, there aren't that many of them. There are significantly more single mothers than single fathers. And, there are a few reasons for this: nowadays, more women CHOOSE to be single mothers (a man can't choose to be a single father as he doesn't bare the child), courts favour the mother in most cases or offer joint custody, and men generally aren't as willing to take care of children all on his own (which means they often don't fight the courts for full custody). I've only known a handful of single fathers through my life. One was my husband, another was my own father. The rest weren't single fathers by choice--the mother died leaving the dad the children to take care of on his own. But, even with that said, I've known probably 10 times the single mothers than single fathers.

Okay,let's see if I can break it down for you-
This solely depends on age.I don't know your age but I can put women in general on one for you.
***18-25= These women are just beginning to realize they have an attraction level,they are so busy trying to determine their own skills,they are not in tune with what a relationship requires of them.
***25-30=Most of these women have already tried a lover,a husband,a family and it didn't work,now they have children to finish raising and they hold a grudge against love.However, some women in this age group who still have it together and have not let their past relationship destroy them,could be in the right frame of mind to be and share a new life with a single dad,willing to except your children as she would want you to except hers.
***30-40=A lot of baggage come with a women of this age.Lots of experience,both good and bad.If she's mature and honest,she could be redemmed by the right man(someone who knows and gives her what she needs)She could also be the best step-mom for your children.However if you meet one who has no children,she may not be willing to take on yours,not unless she truly loves you and falls in love with your children over time.This is the age where you don't move too fast with consideration for all involved.
***40-50=Most women of this age are beyond motherhood and is dabbling into grandparent land,having young ones to raise again is not too appealing.
What matters most of all is you must keep looking until you find a women who is not so skeptical and self-centered and look for a women who loves life and all that it can and may offer.Your local bar may not be the place to look.Also, do a personality check before you show any major interest in her, she may not be worth your time.

not all women feel the way that you think that they do. i know what it is like all to well to be a single parent, trust me it is know different for me. i have been a single mom for 13 years. have you tried dating women that have children? i find that if the other person has children they are more receptive to the fact that you are also a single parent. don't concern yourself with the ones that are not into someone with kids. why waste your time. i also think the key is to be up front about it, before you even think of asking a lady to go out with you. i found that while talking to someone of the opposite sex, that if i bring the fact that i have kids into a conversation, you can tell if they are ok with it or not. learn to read people.

I TOTALLY know what you mean! I have 9 year old twin daughters and as soon as a guy finds out...they run screaming!! I'm not looking for a daddy figure either, they already have one. You just need to be patient and she'll come to you. Good Luck!!

I know where your coming from. People are like that and it is ridiculous. Your just trying to find someone to share your life with and it seems that people are afraid of already made families. I hope you find someone worthwhile - good luck!

Single dads are definitely not a problem - - - as long as they are good with their kids. If you aren't a good dad to your kids then they'll RUN AWAY FAST.

I think women are still getting used to the fact that now dad's have the kids living with them but they are out there just keep looking. Not to sound mean but welcome to our world. lol
