As a woman...I would say YES! I would have absolutely loved to date a man with children. There are other events for single parents too besides Parents without Partners. Just look locally. And oh...if you can or do have a dog...that is also a fabulous babe magnet besides marvelous you. Single parents are not the only option. To me, a single dad is a powerful yummy. That is partly because I couldn't have children, and partly because a good dad is such a blessing. Just be sure and go through your grieving process in other ways, don't bring a bunch of 'baggage' into your dating life. You will know you are ready when every conversation doesn't revolve around your ex. Best wishes!

I was just thinking that same thing and then I see it listed here.
I asked myself this very often and so far I haven't gotten a satisfactory answer.I got custody of my kids during the divorce (ages 12 and 14) so I didn't have much time for a personal life.Now my kids are 18 and 20 so I can have a life beyond them but so far I haven't found anyone that I feel would be interested in a single dad with baggage.I make a good living with a modest bank account.I'm not a socially out going person so I don't stand out in a crowd.I consider myself to be a good catch but I don't have the right bait anymore.It seems that in order to meet single ladies these days you have to go to bars or clubs and that isn't for me.To answer you question I'm sure there is life after divorce but finding it is so hard.My advice is don't settle for less than what you deserve and don't take less than what you want.Trying to hard hurts more than it helps also.I learned this the hard way.

I think so. I don't want kids of my own and sometimes look at dads with their kids like at the mall or a restaurant and think they are so sexy. Especially if they took over the responsibility of the children. I did date a guy with a young child but the kid wouldn't give me a chance which is unfortunate because I really liked the kid and him. Being a single dad also shows a woman you can settle down and take life more serious than alot of single guys.

As long as you are breathing there is hope, there is a will to move on..., there is life.
No matter what has changed you are still a dad. That is an extremely important position and can be very time consuming.
Start with the kids and you will see there are a lot of possibilities after divorce.

Yep, there is. Just remember your kids come FIRST. I am a female that believes that a 'Dad' who is good to his kid is far more attractive than the 'Dads' hanging out in bars bragging about how they have kids but the ex is a ***** and all of that.
My advice is to move on from the divorce and take care of your kids FIRST -and take them to some age appropriate events and you may meet a great single Mom.

Sure! Just like there is for us single moms! It's just a lot more complicated!!
Always put the kids first, and wait until you really decide you want a relationship to be serious before introducing the kids to her (especially if they're still fairly young or emotional about the divorce).

Yes there is. If you mean finding someone to be your wife that is another question. For that you basically have to get back out into the dating world. I have found that women like men that spend time with their children and put them before themselves. You will want to tell the person you are going out with that you do have a child at home so they can make a decision if they are ready for that step in their life. Don't get discouraged if they turn you down after knowing this. Many people will tell you not to tell your date until the third date or longer but i find that this only leads them on. It is better to prepare them for that dating you means that you will have someone at home they will have to meet sooner or later.

join a singles group,join a local church club,try an online dateing sight to find some friends and connect with people.
how about the friends of your children -and there parents - mingle with them.
You can have a great life as a single dad !! Most of all enjoy your kids,and give them lots of quality time

I know that there are a lot of women who want to date single dads and take care of them. I think you'll be ok. Get yourself a good baby sitter and get out of the house once a week. You'll be fine.
