I don't need advice on what i should do, i'm not seeing any single parent guy and neither am i planning to. I just wanna know what attitudes women have towards a single parent guy with a daughter.

There are so many things that come into play in this situation.
1) Is he a good parent who is involved with his daughter?
2) How old is he? How old is the woman?
3) What other qualities does he bring to a possible relationship?
4) How long was he with the child's mother, or was he with her?
I'm now involved with a man who has 2 children. I have been in this situation before and I've learned from my past mistakes. This time my bf is a great guy. He's a father who puts his children first. He makes good money and has a great job. His family is tremendously supportive of him and his children.
This isn't to say I never have regrets. Sure, this would be far easier if he didn't have children, as I don't have any. Forget about the kids---this would be far easier if not for his ex wife. She's just an angry, bitter person. He does such a great job in dealing with all of it, though, so I can't fault him.
He's worth the effort, though I never imagined I'd end up with another guy with kids. But, you can't control who you fall in love with. He's worth the extra work. :)

I may be partial to this, because I was a single mom with a little girl. But if I wasn't already engaged, I would definitely date a single guy with a daughter.
I can also play devils advocate and say that most single parents have that extra person (child's mother/father) in your relationship ALWAYS, and you have to be completely comfortable with them always being around.

I suppose it would depend on the situation. I love children and I am very attracted to those guys who love being dads or love the concept and are looking forward to it. However, as a couple of people have mentioned, getting involved with a father means I'd be getting involved with his family. I believe that his family comes first. So the little girl and her mother would have to be a part of my life too. It depends on the situation as to whether or not I'd put up with an Ex and a child.

I would say yes! I met my now husband when he was a single parent of a daughter and it took some time for his daughter to see I wasn't trying to take her daddy away, but in the end we are all happy now and have a new addition to the family. So it can work out for you if you really want to try.

not a girl, but a single male with custody of my daughter.
I would have to say yes! Get involved with the guy. How many guys do you know who are willing to raise a child? Goes to show he's a loving and caring person.
Just remember, you will not only be getting him, but his child as well. You will be walking into a family Environment. Make sure you're ready, to be a mom, sort of.
If you leave, you will not only be leaving him, but the little girl as well. Theres alot involved here. I wish you the best of luck!

If I really love the guy why not. I love him and I'm wiling to accept and love his daughter too. The problem would be if his daughter doesn't like me. But that's another story.

yes but it would definitely depend on the circumstances such as......
-if i got along with his child
-if his child liked me
-what his relationship with his ex is like
-if he would be up for having more children
-what his parenting is like and if our parenting styles are the same
-if he was financially in a good place (a lot of single parents are not and have a lot of debt, kids are expensive)

With or without a child, the person has to be "the right" person for you. The rules are the same.Don't worry yourself with thoughts about his child, first of all spend time with him alone, so that you can know if he is the right man for you. The relationship first has to be right for the two of you. Trust me, if he is the man for you, and if you feel that you love him for who he is, getting to meet his child will only be "loving another part of him"...
