I seem to find a lot of questions on here about GUYS prepared to date a girl who has children from a previous relationship, but what about the other way around (whether the guy is a full-time dad with kids at home - which is rare, or not)? Are girls not interested in guys who have kids? What would you think about a guy who has kids from a previous relationship... especially if he DOES pay child support and spends time with the kids every second weekend? I have recently become aware that many girls tend to see a guy very differently if he has kids, however MANY guys I know would have no problem dating a girl who has kids. hhhmmm interesting. What do you think?

Thanx for the answers I've recieved already... it just seems pretty shallow to me that girls seem to have more of a problem dating someone with kids than guys do (not all the time). Ultimately, we ALL have a past and surely if a guy is good with his kids it would be an excellent example of the kind of boyfriend and father he could be with YOU in the future. Instead of wasting your time with some immature, inconsiderate guy perhaps?!

My Sweetheart has 2 young children, although he is not very much younger than I am. (mine are grown and I'll be a grandmother this year)
He is very gentle with them. He's a good father. And you're right, it's very much a mark of the type of man that he is. I adore listening to him talk about them. His voice is so filled with love. And a man with that capacity for sweetness is the kind of man I want.

I guess that depends on what kind of Dad he is. There's no better way to see how good a dad he'd be to any children you might have together than to see him with kids he already has. If he's a good dad then I don't see why it would be a problem. Hopefully you can get along with the kid(s) and build a strong relationship. Personally, I doubt it would work out with me though. I'm not ready to be a mother so I doubt I'd make a good step-mother. If I weren't in a relationship and I came across a great guy, who happened to be a father, it wouldn't be a deal breaker, and I might surprise myself and rise to the challenge- so it might work out. But when kids are involved you have to look at the big picture and I think my not being ready would screw that up.

I could see myself dating a single father if he was responsible and spends time with his kids. I would never date a guy who had kids by different women because there is definitely something wrong with that picture and especially if he didn't make time for his kids or pay child support.

I don't see what the problem would be. I would date a man that was totally responsible for his kids he has a right to a life and if i cared for him I would care for the whole package! Kids are great just more there to love. It may be hard but I would deal with it and get counseling to understand and be there for his children through the bad and the good.

Men aren’t “supposed” to seek out advice on how to get women or ask their friends how do I get a girl. We don’t sit around analyzing each other’s relationships. Still, picking up beautiful women is a skill that anyone can learn with enough time, practice, and access to the right resources. Read here https://tr.im/5YGXY
There is a ton of stuff ( to help you get started. Sometimes the techniques go against “conventional wisdom” or what seems to work in movies and romance novels. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and try them – they DO work and they are a huge advantage over the competition.

I am only speaking for myself, but I would never date a man with children only because when there are kids involved there is usually a momma around and like it or not you'll inevitably have to deal with her. Not to say that every ex-wife with kids is horrible, because not all of them are, but it's still a complicated situation and I always knew I could never deal with that.
I have known 2 different women who MARRIED their husbands knowing they already had kids from a previous marriage and then resented and mistreated those kids.
And they also had THEIR OWN children from previous relationships!
Very unfortunate.

i think if the age of the kid really makes a different. the younger the kid the better. but if the two really loves each other, there's always a solution for everything.
