Some do, some don't.

 

Every situation is different and your query is too broad to be able to assess.

 

You can't assume that someone's attraction to you is or is not based on your children.

Depends on the gal.

 

I have two separate friends who are both dating single dad's.

 

I don't want kids, and enjoy a child free lifestyle, so anyone with kids would be a deal breaker for me.

As others have noted, it depends on the person.

 

I have met single women and men who will not date someone with children and have no interest in children if they have none, themselves. It would be deal breaker for them.

 

There are a lot of people without children out there.

 

On the other hand, I have met men and women who seem attracted to people who have children and will only date men or women with children.

Depends on how he treats those children.

Totally with Mrs Rubble here.

 

Yes, I could find a man who has kids attractive. However, for me to have a relationship with him I would have to see that our parenting ideas align.

I could..but I'd also like to have kids myself so he would have to be open to that as well.

I am dating a dad. I'm glad he put it in his profile so there were no surprises. I was very nervous meeting his kids, but they are wonderful, and my life is so much richer for having them around.

 

One of the reasons I was open to dating dads is that I want kids of my own. I thought that someone with kids might be more interested in having a family with me.

 

I got incredibly lucky - amazing guy, amazing kids. And I'm expecting one of my own with him now. :)

I'm a single mom. My experience is some men will be OK with it, some will love it (I've met men who wanted kids but couldn't have their own), and some it will be a dealbreaker.

 

Now when I look at dads, I look at how they treat their kids and what the situation is with the mom. I'm OK signing up for a single dad but I don't want to invite a large amount of drama or a man who doesn't maintain his relationship with his kids. Though I've seen a lot of women who don't think about these things and then complain later when their own kids are being neglected.

When I reached the age of being ready to have children, suddenly single dads became hotter than ever. But only good dads. I can remember feeling the opposite however, when I was in my 20s and not at all ready to be a stepmom.

 

How well he gets along with this ex....I mean, sometimes a person can't help how stable their ex is. There's a reason the relationship ended, and it's obviously ideal when two people can put their differences aside for the child's best interest, but..things don't always work out that way. That said I'm also a little skeptical of people who split after having more than one child together. I wonder....how did it take you so long to realize it wasn't working, and why would you put more children through this mess of your failed relationship?

Everyone is different and has different tastes, it depends if the person wants to get involved in the big step especially if they don't have kids themselves. When someone doesn't have kids its hard to relate to someone who does.

Only if they really really love kids. There honestly aren't too many people who are that nuts about other people's kids, though. A younger woman has no reason to take on that type of responsibility and the limitations that come with it and may not be prepared to deal with you seeing the ex and all that either. I don't see why single fathers don't just stick to seeing single mothers. It just seems more beneficial all the way around.

A friend put it very well for me once: 'dating isn't an equal opportunity game. I'm not obligated to give someone a go just because they think they deserve one.'

 

Harsh but true, dating is the one arena where people are allowed to not want to be with you for whatever reason they please and really it's better that way. Saves time. I don't think having kids is a massive deal breaker though, most people have kids and plenty of people have several major relationships in their lives. Just don't get angry and bitter if you get a few rejections along the way.
