In the age range of 18-24.. there's this one broad that I like, but she has a child. Tell me guys, or girls, would you date someone that has a child?

You are a guy, aren't you? Have you ever asked your buddies how they feel about the idea of dating a woman who has a child? It could make for a very lively conversation!
My own feelings/ outlook are:
If the man is mature and caring, he will accept the idea and treat both the woman and her child well. It is the same for a woman, if she really cares for the man- she will most likely be willing to care for his child, too.
As for calling any woman a "broad"....I would not ever have dated a man who called me that. There is no respect in it. It is insulting.
Fortunately, I am married to a wonderful man who raised my two sons as being his own. They deeply respect him and have a very good father-son relationship.

From experience, I have. I also have witnessed friends dating women with child(ren) from previous relationships. A majority of the time it does NOT work out. There is a radio personality that states single women with children are for dating not relationships. I agree and here is why. From all the times I have seen this senario, it seem as if the woman doesn't show or give or tell how much it matters that you except the add burden of caring for a child that is not yours in a relationship. Relationships are hard enough but then you add this. Time, money, and possibly the worst of all- THE BABY'S DADDY. Baby daddy drama. You don't know how psycho this guy may be. Great. In my situation, no matter what I did my lady's mom expressed one way or another that I was not as good as the baby's daddy. The dad-a bum. When he got her pregnant he was 20 and she was 15. A real winner. Not only a bum but a non-convicted sex offender.
I was in my home town talking to some lady friends and I asked why are so many lady's having baby's?One lady said that she was bored, so she had a kid. I think she has like two or three kids now. I thought she needed a hobby, not a baby that will be solely depending on her to take care of it. With the thought process that she has already displayed-the solution to bordem- she definetly should NOT be having a child.
Now,I live in a city where the percentage per population of single working mother is tops in the nation. I waiting to move. Finding a lady 24-30 without a child is like finding a 100 carat diamond.
Good luck-date them-hook up with them-use protection-make sure she is using birth control. But relationship is to be question. I refuse to do it now. Because I can.

In this day and age its not a big deal like it was in the say......50's when an unmarried woman with a child was an outcast. There is much more acceptance and even a lot of respect for a woman who can take care of a child on her own.
The only thing to watch out for is if the child attaches to you or not. There is nothing worse then being told "your not my daddy and never will be!!" You also have to consider that you are not only dating the girl, but you are also dating the child. Its a complete package. Also consider you may be seeing the "baby daddy" around too, if he is still involved. Depending on how you handle it and the complete situation, there may be a little friction.
To use the term broad, its something not to teach a child, its rather disrespectful. Remember since you are around the child too, that child will also learn from you, that is if the relationship lasts.

Depends on the guy, but usually men 18-24 are not mature enough and ready to have a ready made family. Men over the age of 25 are more inclined to date "a mommy". I met my husband when I was 18, he was 23 and he had sole custody of his 2 year old son. We've been together for 10 years. Women are more inclined to start raising a child earlier in life than men.

Yes, guys like girls that have kids. I go to a school were it's an all girl school and all the girls here are pregnant or have baby's. I have a baby and I am 17, you wouldn't believe how many guys don't care if I have a baby.

I don't date guys that have children because I don't want children. When you start dating someone who has kids, the potential for you to be come a surrogate parent is very great. I have no desire to take on that sort of responsibility.

I would like him if he's a nice person but I probably wouldn't date him for the fact that I'm not ready for children.
