I never got this, how come when women say they don't want to mess with any guy who has kids its ok and no one says shyt. But when a man says he doesn't want to date single moms you got people saying he's not a real man and try to assault his character :upsetfavre:

And the crazy thing of the people i know that say they wont date a person with kids the vast majority of them are female:heh:

Those are two different types of men and women. Women with children don't have an issue with dating men with children. Men with children don't have an issue dating women with children. It's usually the men and women that don't have children who say they don't want to date a man/woman with children. You have to take notice of who is filing the complaints.

I think people are allowed to have whatever type of standards as far as dating. However people with too high or just outright ridiculous standards are typically single and complaining about it and those are the ones you laugh at.

They do that to make themselves feel better. You shouldn't take it personally.

Yeah, when I didn't have kids I dated women that didn't have children. Well, I take that back, I dated women with kids but I wasn't really serious with them. The ones I saw myself serious with was the ones without children. Then when I had my daughter I dated women with children. It just so happened that I ended up marrying my wife and she doesn't have any children but when I had my daughter I was willing to be serious with someone that had children as long as they didn't have too many.

I had a friend who tried to tell me I was lame for having standard of not wanting to deal with single mothers. This is what she said

"nothing wrong with having kids aint no one asking yall to play daddy. a lot of single moms are on their own not on welfare handling their business. half yall dudes are lame searching for an ideal chick you will more than likely never find. so stop searching and just settle for a chick who can handle her own just respect you simple shyt"

"okay well maybe we do maybe we dont but im looking at it from a mothers point of view as well as a females point. im not saying settle but how do you know the bad ass girl walking across the street doesnt have a kid and she just could be perfect for you? with a degree. Every guy looks at a female with a kid and belittles her to a chick with no kids. i have a daughter i have 2 degrees. I have my own. i mean my ass aint the biggest but im loyal and ever guy who sees me and my daughter and looks past that only because i have a daughter and i dont need anyone to play daddy to my daughter"

"you don't neccersarily have to settle but don't over look or look past a girl with a kid now if she got like 4 then keep it moving. lol. im joking but the females with kids are no diff than the chicks with out. only diff is they have a kid(s). True but females bypass dudes with kids and vice versa yet we are probably fit out there for a lot of dudes."

She obviously caught feelings because I put a status on FB asking where all the fly, single ladies at? :smugfavre:

I'm a single dude without children and I expect the same. It's unfortunate that I have met decent women that have their ish together but they f**cked up along the way and had a child by a dude that saw them as p***y and not a wife. I got a chick that if I asked her for a relationship now, she would say yes in a second. Sorry, dear.. I want my own family with my own children.

Not trying to :cape: but the flipside of the single-parent double standard is that single moms seemed to be looked down upon by dudes, whereas if you're a single dad, you're praised by women.

Personally speaking I don't have any kids so I prefer my man not to have any. And I think in general females don't wanna deal with dudes with kids because of all the drama with the bm( she can't stand the sight of another chick being around her kid) most dudes I know wouldn't mind dating a chick with kids because the bd don't trip out as much as a bm would

who cares what other people think. if it's a person you want to deal with and you're of sound mind and thinking capabilities then go for it...
