I categorically don't date single/divorced/widowed moms. Kids are a bad scene for a bachelor about town, and I have no interest in raising some other guy's children.
Unfortunately, I wasn't so lucky. I dated a woman who was divorced with a kid for several years and it clearly didn't work out. The woman (rightly so) will always put the child first, period.
I agree. (And I'm female.) I look primarily for widowed men. At my age, I'm not looking for some guy with a gaggle of child support to pay and a string of failed relationships.

Sad day ping........
I note that you can't "miss" that which you never had. If these kids have never had a Dad, they'll never know what they're missing.
to be honest, this doesn't bother me that much. we have low birth rates in this country, and if these women want children and they can afford to raise them, let them get pregnant if they want.
I married a lady with 2 children and for 25 years, they have brought more love and blessings into my life than I could possible imagine and I now also have two wonderful grandchildren.
Because I was part of his life when a boy needs a father the most, this fine young man now has 3 step children plus one of his own with a wonderful girl. To him, it was normal and not something to run from.
I know that because of my son, these 3 young children will be part of the solution and not part of the problem that is rampant amongst today's fatherless youth.
I'm generally suspcious of single women with children and tend to avoid them like the plague. I mean i cant help but question the judgement of a woman who has a child and is single. That kid deserves a father.
