Most guys wouldn't, but when they get to 32 they probably would. I think most guys have children anyway, I seem to see a lot of young parents about these days ... I think I will be one of them this year :\
I wish you more luck than most have darlin. It's not so bad as some make it seem.
Thank you, it's just I know me and my boyfriend won't be together forever so it kind of scares me I don't want to be alone, :( Thanks though hun <3
age doesn't play a factor in who you date, and ull probably even end up with someone you don't prefer. did you ever see boy meets world? eric started to date a single mother, cause he didn't care about age he cared about her. until she found out she had a kid. the fact is, he simply wasn't ready for that kind of relationship. that's why I don't condone one night stands or fwb's. the risk of the girl getting pregnant
yes I would date girls that have kids because I love kids and if its all possible I would want to girl that would want more kids that way I can have kids of my own also
I wouldn't date a woman with a kid cause I wouldn't want to take his or her father's place in any circumstances.
no,
women with a kid and no dad are irresponsible and usually gold diggers. They will most likely get at least 1 divorce in their life time
How are they irresponsible? If they were in a commited relationship and got screwed over yet stepped up to take care of their child while the father turns his back and sheds his responsibility how is that irresponsible?
They have poor judgment skills and who else haves a baby at that age.
Are you a virgin? Because if you have sex every method of birth control can possibly fail. Responsible people step up and either take care of the child that comes or gives it up for adoption. Yes there are some who make that decision to have a child that young and most times it is irresponsible of them but most cases are of those that tried to protect themselves yet end up getting pregnant anyways. You shouldn't be so quick to judge those you know nothing about.
Dont listen to this guy. He is a douchebag. This one comment even states that.
Personally attacking him isn't helping you, he gave you his answer.
You can choose to accept it and learn from it or you can choose not to do so.
I'm a single woman with 3 kids, I work full time to support my children. My relationship broke down after 17 years together, I've been single for 8 months and would like to date guys. I have no desire to replace the children#s dad nor do I seek financial support from a man. I find your comment very narrow minded
For every person out there, there is someone they are destined to be with.
There will be that guy, one day, that was looking for exactly everything you have, which will be your you, your faults, and yes, a daughter.
Good luck!
I'd date her and be a complete gentleman, wouldn't treat her any differently while we're dating, but unless she was amazing in every way AND really hot, I wouldn't consider letting it go very far. A kid is a huge responsibility, I wouldn't want to end up with a girl that had baggage in the form of another guy's kid.
fUCK NO, that p**** is loose as hell, wouldn't want to wax a chick that got knocked up
Ha obviously you've never been privileged enough to have post prego p**** and you know nothing about female anatomy. Most women are actually tighter after giving birth than they were before and sex is generally better too. But hey to each his own...
It will never be the same ever again. F***post prego p-uss, I'd rather f.uck you while you're pregnant, put a dent in your kid's head
That's not physically possible dumbass
just joking...dumb ass...get a sense of humor and an abortion
You are a disgusting pig sir and far from funny.
guys are selfish, only mostly going for hotter ones and shameless about the fact also. some do, some don't. lots of reasons exist, including paying child support and not liking it if the 'father' of the children gets involved.
Amen. I totally agree with you... Even though I got call bitter or cynical by the one asking if guys would date a woman with kids.
If a guy dates a woman with a child he never has to worry about child support wth? And as for the rest of your comment women are quick to throw stones at men and while there are quite a few pigs out there, damning the male populus as a whole is not only stupid it's sincerely wrong. People in general are faulty it is not exclusive to either sex men just get the short end of the stick because their dirty laundry is out there for the world to see but in this day and age women are just as selfish,
superficial and promiscuous as men. I can't tell you how many men are damaged because of some encounter with a woman like that. So yea there are the bad ones but don't walk around with a chip on your shoulder because you'll just end up missing out on the good guys. If people were honest with themselves they'd see that it's all just a vicious circle with men causing more bitter women and women causing more douchebags. But is not ALL women or ALL men. I hate generalizations.
I don't think it's about being selfish, I think it's just the fact that most guys don't want to deal with the stress and frustration that would ultimately come with dating a single mother.
Definitely would. I did for a while... Turned out she just wanted sex though :(
I'm sorry to hear that darlin. It's rare but it does happen...
Ahhh yes... Happens a little bit more than most people think I think :) but alas, not dating her meant I got with my very perfect girlfriend :D
Congrats :)
I'm 33 and out of the age range but I would date a woman with a child. :)
Haha I was waiting for you Kermit... You know age isn't important when it comes to dating and relationships unless its statutory...
Why were you waiting for me? Maybe you put 32 as the cutoff age just to see if I'd answer. :p
Haha nope I just realized I didn't actually say what my age range is but I was waiting to see if you'd answer. You've left some pretty interesting answers on other posts. I was just curious...
Oh, I thought that "GUYS age 22-32: Would you date a woman with a kid?" was actually the age range of responders you were looking for. Well, you could always message me if you are curious about what I might say. ;-)
Ah I entirely forgot about that. I thought I took it off before I posted the question...
I've done it before wasn't a big deal. You have to accept someone for who they are and what they are. If that means they are a mom then so be it. If I'm into them it won't be a deal breaker
i would then again I want kids but I'm single and not really sure I'm ready to be a father all the time
just depends imo one the guy and wether or not he's ready to settle down
whatever may be the age of women her figure is the most attractive thing
guys generally get attracted to figure,
hope you are not such an ugly
Haha no thankfully I've never had that problem. Even after I had my daughter I actually was smaller and more shapely than before.
then its not a prob
every guy may dream a date with you sweetie
so its not a prob
every guy may dream a date with you sweetie
do you prefer older men because the youngers guys don't want to take on the responsibility that the biological father does not want.
No her father is older also. I've always enjoyed the company of older people in general and older men romantically.
so like boring guys. I guess we all have our preferences.
no they aren't boring. why does being older automatically mean boring? I've always found guys my age immature and selfish. Older men are generally more open minded, responsible and involved. Considering your response and the fact that you think kids are "mistakes" I'm thinking you're one of those immature guys. I've actually met and/or dated guys closer to my age who "didn't care" that I had a kid but in the end just weren't mature enough to deal with me as a person. They never even met my kid.
I've never had that problem with older guys.
The reason why older guys are willing to take the responsibility of taking care of children that is a mistake becasue they already have children so taking care of another child isn't a big jump. Younger guys don't have children yet, so they don't want to take the responsibility of a child, but that doesn't mean young guys are immature.
I wasn't talking about younger guys in referance to just kids. In general they are more immature mentally. As for older guys having kids so another isn't a big deal most of them don't have kids(at least the ones I talked to didn't) and I wouldn't go for an older guy soley because he did have a kid or kids. And in all actuallity it is a big deal to date someone who also has children because it adds a whole new dynamic to the relationship. My daughter is not a mistake and never will be. Her father
and I not being together does NOT make her a mistake. no child should ever be seen as a mistake. They didn't ask to be conceived and should be loved regardless of circumstance or surroundings. Most of the guys I've talked to and/or dated since becoming single have not had kids and some haven't been much older than me if at all.And as you can see from the answers below there are quite a few men who would date a single mom whether they themselves have kids or not. Your "choice" aside you are still
demonstrating the linear and also presumptive thinking associated with immaturity.
the guys are lying. guys don't usually like kids. The only kids we like are the kids that are our blood.
Just because you feel that way doesn't mean all guys do.
not all guys, but most do.
Have you spoken to most guys? I don't think you have and all you're doing is furthering my suspicions that you are indeed immature. Oh and by the way a good example of an "older" guy who isn't boring is the guy who I gave best answer.
"I guess I should have specified what my 'age range' is..."
You already did in question: "GUYS age 22-32: Would you date a woman with a kid?"
Anyways, I would not date a woman with a child.
I was directing the question to guys in the first age range for curiousity's sake and refering to the age range I date in the update. Just FYI
Oh, I didn't know that.
Sorry guess I should have explained better...
I wouldn't care. I love kids. As long as you didn't have like 5 kids it would detour me.
I love kids so it doesn't bother me. But it certainly would be baggage, the girl would have to be special to me.
well I'm 21 but I see myself as a father even when I'm 32. maybe that will all change someday when I'm ready to settle down by then. I guess I prefer the lone drifter lifestyle :P
Honestly, if a guy would say no...he'd just be shallow and conceded. just because a woman has a kid, doesn't mean she's not the right one. so yes, a guy would date you...just wait for someone to come by.
Honestly no because I don't want to raise another mans children.
That makes a LOT of sense
should have been best answer :(
I would probably try to find someone in a similar situation, as your values and experiences may be similar.
Absolutely! You're a family person and you put out! Win win here! =)
Wow could you be anymore of a douchebag? There is no putting out going on. Especially for stupid, prick, d***wads like you. Do all girls a favor and go f*** yourself with a chainsaw.
Wow, no wonder you're a single mom. I was half kidding, but the real d-bag has shown her face. Even if you're cute on the outside, you're sure ugly on the inside. I'll take the fathers side on this one. I'm sure he left your ass because of that almighty attitude of yours. Do the kid a favor and drop her off at an orphanage, shed be raised better.
Seeing as you have NO idea who I am or what I went through so you can go f*** yourself. Sorry if I don't have too much of a sense of humor when it comes to that seeing as I've had to deal with crap like that from guys on a day to day basis. And just fyi her father was an abusive, lying, cheating ass who caused me to get cervical cancer because he couldn't keep it in his pants. Guys like him are the reason girls like me are distant and terrified of guys. Maybe you should be more careful what you
say to people because you don't know what they've been through or are sensitive to.
Again with the attitude. You're scared of all guys because of one? I don't buy it. Or you're better at giving people a ration of s**t, but you can't take it. From my perspective, you're the reason guys leave women. That makes you worse than bad, it makes you worthless.
He's not the only reason I'm wary around men but he had a lot to do with my concerns now. If you'd actually read some of my responses you'd see I don't go around man bashing and in no way approve of such antics. Yes with you I have an attitude because I simply don't like your so called "sense of humor". You can insult me all you want darlin but it is what it is. And honestly its a vicious cycle: guys mistreat women, women mistreat men and no one knows who started it. I'm done arguing with you.
so much anger in this thread...
well, I suggest you to date a dad who is in the same situation like you. If you want to date a single guy, its not impossible, but you can find only if you try.
Men just want sex. They do not want a serious relationship with a female with kids.
Bitter much or just cynical? Not all guys are douche bags hun
Thank you for standing by us-the not douche bags guys- :D
Yeah, most guys are. Try being a single mom in you 30s, see how guys ask you out. Good luck.
Actually I've seen that and as stereotypical and albiet unfair as it may be, if you take care of yourself and don't look like crap there are guys who have no problem dating a single mom. My mom had me and my sister and she still had guys asking her out left and right. It helps that she's gorgeous and doesn't look her age but that's society for you. The better you look the more play you'll get whether you have a kid or not. And just because a guy bases his first impression on looks doesn't mean he
ust wants sex. Attraction is a huge part of chemistry and if a guy thinks you're fugly then why would he waste his time. If he thinks you're beautiful and feels that sexual attraction pursuing you is only natural. Yes some guys are jerks who only want sex and will use any means neccesary but not all guys are like that. The men in my family and the male friends that I have are proof enough of that for me. You just have to be careful of who you keep around. And who you drop your panties for. If
you make them work for it you can usuall figure out 's in it for just sex and who's there for more.
I do take care of myself. I am not ugly. I don't go around 'dropping panties'. The truth is MOST men do not want a women the has kids! The assume she is looking for a Daddy. And if you already have the answers then why did you ask this question? And you're right it doesn't take long to figure out what they want. THEY ALL WANT ASS!
Yes I have my own ideals but I wanted the opinions of other men who I don't know personally. And yes men by nature are more sexually inclined but you saying that ALL men ONLY want sex is just perpetuating the prejudice that sets women up for failure. There are plenty of great guys out there who also want a relationship and not JUST sex. Penilizing all men for what some do is just stupid and wrong. And maybe the majority of men don't want to date women with children which is something I can
honestly respect because it's not for everyone and it is more complicated than regular dating. But my question was directed at men specifically for that reason, to get thier take on it and see what guys in a diverse age range had to say. This wasn't an invitation for women to bash men because I for one don't believe in judging an entire gender based on the actions of a part.
"Men just want sex. They do not want a serious relationship with a female with kids." somehow that that's them a doucebag? and of course that even always the case
Yes. I would. I'm 32 and I want a family. I'm completely OK with kids.
Yes, I would DATE a woman with a kid. But I wouldn't ever initiate a RELATIONSHIP with her.
It's quite sad that the two are no longer synonymous. For most women dating and entering into a relationship go hand in hand. What is the point of "dating" without commitment being the goal? You only waste both parties time.
that is the mistake that most people tend to do: consider Dating as an immediate precursor to a Relationship. When I asks girls to a date, I make sure that they understand that no intimate connotations whatsoever shall be tied to this "date". Dating should only be done to get to know the other party better, and nothing else. If chemistry chances on that date on mutual grounds, then it is safe to go further. Case in point: there should be nothing "romantic" about dating. That would be premature.
you should read I Kissed Dating Goddbye by Joshua Harris he explains it a lot better than I could. I tend to get a bit defensive. The world today and the ideals of today's generations saddens me greatly.
Actually I do agree with you that dating should be done strictly to get to know someone. But if you know you do not want a relationship with a mom why bother dating one? You know there's no future with her yet most people, i.e. moms, enter into dating weighing whether or not they can see a future with that person. You're essentially deceiving that woman because you already know that there is no future. Again I ask: What is the point?
^Excellent point sir ^
A mommy at 21? Seriously?
Either you have no self-restraint, irresponsible or reckless. That's the two assumptions men are going to make right off the bat against you. I'm sorry, but that's just how it is.
Technically I was a mommy at 13 and I was none of the above. I was brutally raped and ended up getting pregnant. And instead of getting an abortion I carried the child and gave it up for adoption. You have not nor ever will talk to most men so you cannot assume to know what they will think. And if they do prejudge people to that extreme I wouldn't want to know them anyways. But seeing as you're from Korea I can see how you would think that way. God I feel sorry for your girlfriend or future gf.
That is so rude! I got pregnant at 21. I am a pretty nice girl, have lots of close friends and was studying at university. My boyfriend, who was 26 just turned out to be an absolute ahole. Very unsupportive. Women are the ones who have to carry it... it changes theyre body... generally they have to take care of contraception and If they get pregnant its their fault. Males can be sh*t sometimes... just saying!
I don't know how old Korean women are when they give childbirth, but IMO there's nothing wrong with a 21-yr-old adult having a kid. I chose to have my 1st child at 21 (married at 20) because I didn't want to be an old parent. When they're out of the house I'll still be young enough to travel and have fun and I have plenty of energy I need now to raise them.
i wouldn't go further than sleeping with you a few times, if you were particularly hot then I would also take you on a few nice dates, but as far as relationship with you... sorry I would not, hope I havnt hurt your feelings :l
No offense taken but I will say that guys like you with that mindset are the reason so many women and not just single moms are afraid to give guys a chance. I'd basically see you as a douchebag who isn't worth the air you consume. Your actions can damage a person for the rest of their life. Maybe you should think twice before just casually using people like that. It might come back to bite you if you don't.
If I was in the right age for parenting (I'm not anymore) and if the kid was under 8, to have the time to accept each other fully before the kid's puberty starts.
NO! because there is a lot of drama with the baby momma, or the kid may not like you. The father my get mad at you when you try to correct the kid, or put the kid on a corner, or on punishment. He may not like how you treat the kid. THEY ALWAYS BELIEVE WHAT THE CHILD SAYS. That's how it is, I always hear bad about people who date others with kids.
You're going off of stereotypes and rumors. That's the worst possible scenario for dating a single mom. Not the typical one.
I totally agree.It's too much drama.
I don't know who yall go around but maybe you should start with not being around drama filled people in the first place. All of that happens in the movies but unless you're seriously socially impaired most of that will never happen to you.
I wouldn't mind. It would be a challenge at times, but I'm not afraid of challenges :)
i know lots of guys that would! not only single dads too. =)
If I had an alternative? No. Kids are baggage.
So your market is guys who don't get that many girls. There is hope.
I call Bullsh*t.
hahaha not true...my friend is 25 and has 2 kids...she gets guys with no problem at all. she was lucky enough to find a guy who doesn't mind her children and is great looing, funny, and rich as hell lol
...
Well it's true. Most guys, especially younger ones don't want to deal with it. Why would you pick a girl with kids when there are plenty available without kids?
I'll tell you why... because some guys can't get the available girls with out kids. Or they're older, mid thirties plus. Or they have kids themselves. If you're friends with kids get good guys... what can I say she's probably a 7.5+. A girl in that category can defy the odds. A 25 y/o is prob hot.
Go have kids and tell me what it does to your dating life. I'm not saying it's impossible. It's gonna be harder. Less attractive guys are more willing to overlook it. Generally speaking.
Not me, no :/
I'm wild, you see :)
I believe for myself that I won't settle down before I'm ATLEAST hit my 30's.
I need time to party and stuff before.. getting locked down.
And a kid locks you down. Very much!
At first I didn't think I could. But, I've met an amazing girl with 2 kids and it has made me a more mature and well rounded person.
yes, I would as long as there is no drama. A lot of woman still have feelings for their baby's father, do you? cause that would be a big problem?
In a way yes but not in a romantic if I could be with you I would kind of way. My babygirl is half him and the love I have toward him is simply because I am so thankful that I have the most awesome kid and the greatest gift of my life which wouldn't be the same with out him.
kids bring drama all their own. they are number one in a mother's life.
Why do you say that like it is a bad thing? Even if you get married once a woman has kids (most of the time) she will begin putting them first. Even over her husband.
ok my baby don't worry about that if somebody love you he love your everything your baby and your family . don't worry if he love you he will take you and your dauhter out
Of course. If you are attracted to them and are mature enough to be a good role model to her kid, there shouldn't be any reason to let that be a problem.
Too much baggage... you'd have to be pretty much an angel for a second glance...
Not great. I'm a bit beyond your age range, but this would definitely be a handicap. Not insurmountable, but you'd have to bring a LOT more to the table than a girl without a kid.
damn you got like every user on GAG to respond that's awesome
I am 52.I would date a woman with grandkids.
haha. that's awesome.
Epic answer sir lol
these answers make me way sad...:( I'm a single mom...hmmmm...
but I would also perfere a guy with kids...
I don't have any kids. And, honestly, a lot of women find me attractive. I'm not bragging. I am just making a point.
I'll date a woman with kids. Well, I'll date a woman with kids if she has no drama with the father of the child. I don't want to be bothered with that.
However, I wouldn't date a short girl :-) Sue me.
im tall;)...i shouldn't discriminate...lol
Im in the same boat, I guess there IS guys somewhere out there. But I'm not sure if 22 is old enough to handle the situation as tenderly as need be. Us single moms gotta stick together! :) Good luck!
Only if there was the possibility of me getting in on a little mother-daughter action when she got older.
That is disgusting and you're a f***ing pig
i agree you are a f*cking pig
sick
yes I would date a women with a kid because I love kids, but I would also like to have one of my own, if she's wanting more.
I'm not a guy but I really don't think it should every matter.
Yes yes yes! love kids!
no ..its a lot of baggage.
You're not a guy...
i would not just being honest
i hope so for yummy mummys sakes
I think the thing that most of the men in the age group that you are looking at would be more concerned with being cockheld by your previous partner.
I know a guys who don't mind women with kids.
depends on the kid...
maybe, hard to say for sure.
never!
No.
hell no.
Yes I would I'm 28 my girlfriend is 39 with 4 kids
