Being a divorced father with custody of my child, I have come to learn that it is a 2-way street. There are plenty of women that high-tailed it out of my life when they realized my child came first.

Hate to say it but when I reached the point in my life that settling down was an option I had definite criteria concerning men I would date. #1 on that list was that he have no children and preferably not have been previously married. Because I wanted children of my own I didn’t want him to have had a family previously. It would split his attention and finances away from any children we would have. Selfish? Yes, but I want my kids to have all the benefits that a stable intact family could give them. Him sending a huge chunk of this paycheck to another family was not something I wanted to deal with. Divorced dads often have a ton of emotional baggage and crazy demanding ex-wives. I didn’t want my kids to be a “second family”.

Yup. I am in no rush or hurry. My kids will be brought into the pic when the time is right, when or if it is.

I am so very blessed
I just took on four step children, a step-son-in-law AND a step-grandchild ( :yikes: ), and it has been a wonderful enrichment to my life. Did I set out to marry a man with so much history? No, but it has been a really nice addition to my life, and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

Now, I'd probably have a slightly different opinion if his children were younger, but as young adults, they really are fabulous people and I'm glad to have them in my little world.

...are your needs?

I'm not being flip. What are your needs? Get laid once in awhile? Go out to dinner once in awhile? A movie? Or do you need a male in the house most of the time to do...what? Argue with you after a long day about how the kids should be raised? Share the now increased laundry load? House work? Help with the bills?

What are your needs?

I think a lot of single women feel the same way for the reasons you mentioned. I think single men are more willing to date a woman w/children then a single woman is willing to date a man w/children. But nowadays, especially depending on age group, there are not many single ones out there who have never been married or without kids.

I feel if you are really interested in the person then you give them a chance and just see how it goes.

And if they have a hard time finding their next victim, they should have thought about that the first time around. :shrug:
