Popsicle Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Maybe there are some dads out there who think since it's good for them to come off as great dads, they push that image to the max and over-do it. Yes, I believe that's it most of the time. The rest don't know what else to say. This made me lol so much. 1
Ami1uwant Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 What is off putting for me is when a man says those things and he's really over emphasizing how important his kids are to him, it makes me feel like he sees himself and his kids united against any newcomer who dares to think she might one day have a place in his life too. When he goes out of his way to make this clear, it sounds like he's giving a warning, and that he thinks women would try to take him away from his kids. Maybe he had such a problem with a previous gf? Would be different if the guy says those things to everyone he meets at work and shows his kids' pictures all the time to strangers, (and some do!), in which case, it's off putting because he's awkward in social behavior. There should be some moderation. I don't know how old you are but it's a good shot once you are in your mid 30s or older if two people are dating is likely one of them is a parent. From a mans perspective the idea you are good with kids (if they are your own or not) us a very strong selling point on your character. The stereotype on hen will be they don't want kids, don't care fir kids, or are a deadbeat dad.

But now that I date men whose kids have long ago left the nest, I don't see that behavior anymore. The older men don't feel they need to say how devoted they are to their kids - it's simply understood. 1
