And there's just something about guys who are good with kids. For me (and I'm sure I'm not alone in this) it's probably one of the most attractive things ever. :P

Well, I've dedicated my life's work to children (I teach elementary aged kids), so I hope I'm good with them!
Seriously though, I have always been good with children. I remember the first time I ever held a baby (I was five years old). I remember that same baby came to stay with my family when she was a toddler and the two of us were inseparable. I decided to work with kids in my mid twenties. I never regretted it. I met my wife while working with kids, and she thought it was HAWT that I got along with them and how they got along with me. Alas, we never had kids (she could not conceive and she had a hang up about adopting... the source of many arguments between us). However, I take solace in the fact that I try to improve the quality of children's lives five days a week. AND, this question comes on the day I've been told I'm ABOUT TO BE A GRAND UNCLE! YAY!
And why not? How could I not have an affinity with people who look at the universe with wide eyed wonder? How could I not like people who peer into microscopes and telescopes with utter fascination? Why wouldn't I like people who listen intently when I tell them that marine fossils have been found near the summit of Mt. Everest (HOW DID THEY GET THERE? they always ask in utter surprise). Why wouldn't I feel an affinity to people who become awed when they hear their bodies are made of tiny cells, and how each cell is a living thing unto itself? Why not feel an affinity to people who are shocked and full of wonder when they find out that the same things which make them are also found in rhinos, butterflies, and giant Sequoias? Why wouldn't I like people who get thrilled learning how a car's engine works, or how airplanes' wings give them lift?
Now, this is not to say I am naïve of how cruel children can be. Indeed, I have witnessed spectacular feats of cruelty by children (and was guilty of them myself, when I was a kid). However, this is often because they lack the experience to give them empathy.
We can teach them to be better people (usually). Kids aren't all sweet and nice, but I'm much more forgiving of children who lack empathy than adults who lack empathy and should know better.
by the way, asker, the woman I'm dating now also finds men who like children very attractive. I think that's why she likes me (not to mention I am a spectacular shiny blue medal!).
WOW such a great answer, Bluemax :) agreed with everything you said. You deserved the MHO as well!
hahaha yeah I think most of us women have a thing for men who like kids hahah don't really know why.
Oh and congratulations on becoming a grand uncle! yay! haha
I like kids, and it seems that they like me too. I was the one (and still am) that entertains my cousins. It's exhausting when a 5'11 guy has to play hide and seek with his little cousins in a small apartment. Trying to sneak beneath the bed or inside the shower xD But I still enjoy being with kids. I plan and hope to have a kid when I settle down.
that's adorable and nice and sounds like you're gonna be a great father one day!
I hope I will. Having my daughter (I want a little girl, but it really doesn't matter), say that I'm a great father will make me the happiest man ever, to be honest, I can't say I won't shed a tear or two xD
Oh goodness that's just great i always like when a guy wants to have a daughter lol no idea why. May you have a little girl and she says you're an awesome father and makes you cry! hahaha
Thank you! :)
Babies are cute but I really prefer working with middle childhood or adolescence. I smile when I see one but other then that have no desire to hold them or be involved with that age range of childhood development, even if it is a critical one. Despite this I am good with children, and am currently studying in Child and Youth and enjoy working with them. That being said, the more I learn about children the less I actually want any of my own. I like to work with children and try to improve the institutions that are shaping them into adults but I would never want one of my own. My approach to them is more of a sociological one in that systems are failing our children and need to be reformed; hopefully in some fashion I can have a small influence in reforming traditional molds of education that constrict individuality and do not account for the diverse ways in which children learn. Honeslty, if I had children of my own to look after I believe it would interfere with the time and energy I`d have to implement into creating this change.
I love kids to their great!! I work at a childcare so I'm around them all the time. Some can be so sweet and adorable but trust me when I say this... not all kids are adorable. Some are a pain in the rear end. Though some are adorable but can be a pain in the rear end lol they have their days when their naughty but I still love them <4
nice! yeah you just need some patience to deal with them right? haha
Haha sometimes you need a whole lot more then that xD
hahah yeah XD

I've not much experience with babies, and once they get to that 5-10 range they've stopped being as cute although they still seem to like me.
But that age where you can throw a paper airplane and they'll gaze at it in wonder and then laugh and chase after it, that's a great age.
haha yeah agreed
I absolutely love them, I even help in the nursery at my church. And I agree with the guys being good with kids thing, my boyfriend helps in the nursery as well and seeing him with them is unbelievably attractive, especially if i'm holding a baby and he's doing stuff to make him/her laugh ^_^
that sounds adorable *.* haha glad to know im not alone lol
so cute! ^.^ and you're a lucky girlfriend haha
I can hold them, and babies seem to me like. but maybe they're like that with everyone? hmm.
haha they're not like that with everyone maybe they feel safer around you than others bruh you're the FBI guy after all :P
oh my gosh, I forgot, babies can smell money! hahaa :D
hahaha yeah! lol
OMG YES! I LOVE BABIES!

I like most kids, that's when they start getting attitude but most are tolerable and cute.
They like me back as well. :')
I like them better than adults I'll tell you that much.
Kids do stupid stuff cause they're learning the world.
Adults do stupid shit cause they're just self-inflicted morons.
Oh i so agree with this!!
Hahahahahahaha option B.
I am really great with kids actually. For some reason they tend to gravitate toward me too. Maybe they sense that I'm ok with being a big kid sometimes? Who knows? LOL
lol yeah that pic is just hilarious XD
hahaha maybe, it's nice to be a big kid sometimes! :P
Kids (as well as animals) are naturally drawn to me for some reason, and I'm great with them, but... I hate kids! I hate being annoyed, and other people's kids are always so loud and never shut the fuck up! I, myself, don't have children, but I do want them. I can only guess that I will not feel this way about MY kids if/when that happens, (at least I hope so).

My brother is like that. He loves his little girls but hates everyone else's kids, lol.
I love little babies the best! when they are like a loaf of bread. They are so cute to hold and play with ^_^
definitely!
Yea, until they start screaming for hours and shit everywhere :)
And they do little spit ups on :) yeah I went through all of that with my little neice. First 2 months I helped my sister every other day/night and I would change all the diapers and feed the baby with the bottle ;( I miss it
Nothing can put a smile on my face like a baby.
I think people who are afraid of them have mental health problems lol
I'm not afraid of them, I just want nothing to do with kids.
Kids in general?
or just your own?
Both A and C... It's kinda sad I don't know why but babies, toddlers, young kids, etc they'll just cry or put up a tantrum with their paretns, family, etc and when I hold them, talk to them, or just get around them it suddenly stops and they begin to smile.
Babies are amazing, they always like holding my chubby cheeks as if I was one of them xD
hahaha
I love the pic of the evil baby. Lol
I love babies. :)
yeah haha i hope people voted B for that baby pic and not because they actually hate them lol
I love babies especially when they get to start running. I chase my niece all around the house and we play princess and the dragon or sit and I read books with her. If we are both tired I set her in my arms on the couch and sleep until my sister gets off work.
my family calls me the baby whisperer because all babies love me and want to be around me (i blame my boobs, tbh) but i don't like them, mostly because i don't trust myself with them.
Children love me, because I'm good at hiding my negative emotions, but I honestly dislike them. I don't ever want kids, but I am an only child... If I want to keep my families bloodline going, I have to do it...
why dislike?
oh I see now
I love babies/kids! I always play with my nephews and niece. They're my stress relievers!
And you're right about guys who are good with kids! <3
Haha Glad im not alone
"There's just something about guys who are good with kids" <-- I get the same feeling about guys who love cats.
Voted for B.
lol why hate them?
cats! fuuuurrrrr
I can't deal with them. .__.
@BertMacklinFBI Fuurrrrr <3
I love babies, and I love my three cats
@girllovesquestions , you obviously have a big heart. ^.^
Haha
Maybe sometimes too big😏
I like them but i hate it when they cry in the middle of the night, in public places especially movie theatres, public transport and restaurants :P
oh yeah that's annoying as hell lol encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images
I don't really care like children too much. I'm not really good at handling them and due to their behavior, I find myself getting annoyed with them more easily than adults.
I see some are just naughty yeah
I love kids :) And I agree with you, men who are good with kids are f*ing SEXY :3
Ikr! *high five* sis! XD
