when i’m an adult i would. i’m only asking because i’ve seen multiple questions like this about single mothers, and it feels more than vaguely misogynistic to me, so i thought i’d flip it around to make things more even.
Stop getting brainwashed by the internet and woke bs. anything that a man wants or thinks or does that you don't like isn't misogynist by default. Grow up...
Words use to have meanings, misogynist no longer has a meaning because of stiupd people like this, your 17 tho so you still have a chance to turn your life around and be an intelligent human being. Stop letting these woke morons brainwash you, don't become one of these psycho feminist with pink hair that think oxygen is misogynist. And Stop hating men, men are aloud to have thoughts, opinions, preferences, love, peace security and equality. Ain't nobody out to get you because of your gender, you're just use to seeing fragile women cry wolf and your falling in line, be different, be brave, be better. Stop being misandryst, live and let live.
Be a woman. Not a girl who cries wolf whenever a man has thier own opinions. Men have a choice who they date.
Please learn from these mistakes. Let your hatrid for men go. Before you go too far down the wrong path, good luck to you. Have a nice day
I can assure you from personal experience with this topic is the truthful answer for most is NO , I was a single father and although having plenty of sex during this period the vast majority did not want to get involved , part of this would have been I didn't really want more children ( and I still dont have more , I stuck to 2 ) , women are far more prejudicial on this topic than men , no matter what they say.
All of my girlfriends were far younger also , so that dated another dimension , so my answer is in relation to " serious dating " , obviously they'd all go out with me , that was not an issue.
I voted yes. It's true there is a lot of misogyny around single mothers. I've learned to ignore it. Most of this red pillers couldn't do what I do for even one hour.
In high school, a guy hit on me when I was on transit. He was cute he took my number we started talking.
He was upfront that he had a kid and he was also honest about the fact that he broke up with his baby mother but, for lease reasons I guess, they still lived together.
I even called once and she named handdd him the phone. I just couldn't.
Years later, I saw him again on transit (he didn't see me) and he was with a gorgeous little girl about 7 or 8 and you could see how close they were and she was well-cared for. A lot of young guys who have kids would have been way out of the picture by that point.
I slightly regretted not giving him a chance, but not that much. My respect grew for him that day and he crosses my mind from time to time.
Just like a dedicated single mother, a dedicated single dad is someone who exhibits love, empathy, compassion, dedication and responsibility.
Why not?
Yes 💕

Most wouldn't date a custodial single father
It'll be fascinating to see the answers you get.
It's always interesting to me reading the responses on this question from either gender. Like I get it if a person really truly never wants children ever. That's one thing. But to refuse a relationship on the grounds of a previous child... I can't even fathom it. No judgement although I don't like it -- I just can't begin to understand it.
I'd date a single mother or, if I was a woman, a single father.
Possible, I'm not ready for kids, or even positive I want my own, but honestly I'm not sure I'd mind someone's else's since I really do like kids. It would definitely suck if I ended up attached to the kid and we broke up in a way that meant I couldn't be there for the kid anymore, especially if it was a long-term relationship. I also don't really expect it to happen, partly because of how uncommon single fathers are, especially at my age (that and I'm not ready to be a mom if we end up working out), but I wouldn't be objectively against it if I came up against that situation a few years down the line.
Sure. Again, when I’m an adult and probably out of college.
Been a single dad since 2015 , my son is @ Uni , my 16 year old daughter lives with me , she works part time for her own money , but I still support her. I have stayed well away from " dating " , not interested anyway , as I like being single too much , the marriage I ended took it's toll on me , & I am well aware that single dads are the least desirable demographic group of all. A woman generally wants a protector & provider , I cannot provide for a woman , when my 2 children are Priority 1. It's been hard , but worth it. Women tend to view men in a negative light , when they were younger & taking them to various events / days out , I received a LOT of needless hostility from mothers that assume ALL men are kiddy fiddling perverts , was so glad when they became more independent & not dealing with that crap anymore.
I'm a single mum so yeah I would date a single dad, but only if there is 1000% no romantic feelings left for the mother of his kids.
I would also only date him if he actively involved in his kids lives, and that he didn't want anymore kids, as I can't go through with giving birth again, even though I only have the 1 child.
I would and I did. I have been with him for 20 years and we also have two teenage children of our own.
Sometimes the single father is single because he's widowed.
Like in "The Courtship of Eddie's Father".
I'm childfree.
It would be unfair to both the child and the father if I dated him. That kid and that father deserve someone who wants their whole family.
Of course, depending on how he ended up in that situation. If his wife passed or if his partner chose to leave the kid, it’s not his fault at all. I see no issue in dating a single father, but I’d refrain from meeting the kids until we’re engaged it’s so they can maintain physical and emotional stability.
Nope. Man or woman, I'm not dating anyone with kids.
I would hope that people think it through. If the guy is responsible and has custody (somewhat redundant now that I think about it), that is one thing. If he has a half dozen kids he chooses to never see and fails to pay support for, that is another thing altogether.
If I liked him yes. When dating a single parent their kids are part of the package so take it or leave it.
As a guy, I would date a single mother with kids. So far I haven't had any kids, but life is still young, Lol
As a single father, there have been women who've looked to date me to get an instant family, and those I avoid, but others have dated me as they would anyone else, much like I would a single mother
No. I tried it once. Was too jealous of the fact that someone had him first before me! Got a chance to give him a child before me! 😡 It built resentment.
an alternate and more important question is "how would you treat the children"...
I've seen some go with divorced men and women go for guys whom are breaking up that have kids.
no BUT only bc im not ready for that. him having a kid doesn't bother me but that i can't fulfill being a good step-mom one day. i got a lot of my own issues and i don't think i'd be a good influence
I wouldn't get mad at the ones who say "no" or label them a misandrist for having a personal preference. That would just be stupid.
You're always going to come second to a child who isn't yours. You could end up loving the kid, break up, and never see them again. Both are very understandable reasons for not wanting to date a single parent. Nothing misogynist or misandrist about it.
I also thought that some were just plain misogynistic. But look at it from a guy's view and you see sense in quite a few of them.
