Do you think men are more willing to date single moms than women are single dads?
In my experience this seems to be true, and if you agree do you have any thoughts on y that maybe

yes.
really? I would think it could go either way…
Most men assume the mother will "take care of" the kids and his lifestyle won’t be that affected. The woman knows that she will be stuck with caring for the children, so she is more careful.
I’ve seen both plenty of times. I think age, personality and lifestyle plays a bigger role than our sex when deciding if we’re going to date someone with kids.
about equal
This is just a personal opinion, maybe not everyone else agrees, but I think woman are a little more threatened by the idea of a territorial mom coming around than men are of a deadbeat dad. I would say yes, I agree to an extent. Because woman are more likely to stay involved in their children’s lives. That’s not to say it’s 100%, or something to stereotype over, just my thoughts.
no some dumb men see a womens children and extra baggage but a women would not care about a mans kids they’ll accept its part of the relationship
It depends on if the other person wants the responsibility of taking care of children. I know single parents and many (not all) are only looking for a free babysitter for their kids. I’m single and I’d prefer not to date a man with children.
in my experience this seems to be true, I think it is because men are mostly looking for sex and dont get as attached to children. Plus I agree with what someone else said women tend to be more jealous and would be more affected by another mom stepping in.
Depending on the situation I think that can be the case. Obviously it can go both ways. I’m actually in an area where there are many young parents and I’ve only seen a couple of situations where the father and mother invested equally. Most of the time, the child is with the mother most or all of the time. I think it has to do with the fact that a father can leave, and a mother doesn’t have much of a choice but to stay and invest in the child.
Whenever I knew someone in their late teens-early 20’s dating a father, it usually doesn’t last due to baby-mama-drama or something along those lines.
From a practical perspective if a woman wants to date a single dad not all women expect to pay for that first date dinner—if they want the man to pay then they better have that preplanned? In some places its always been the person who asked someone out on a date to provide any payment for dinner or entertainment./ To me it doesnt matter so much but most of the time I know to bring payment on a date/ I only met one woman in 9 years who wanted to pay./ and that was weird. I try to always have a good time on any date/ dont get me wrong its not all about money but its something to consider / Dateing man or woman—it should be equal and maybe it will evolve sooner or later but I only hit on one problem area right now.
really? In my experience I would say it’s the other way around. I mean even as stereotypes go, guys w/babies are known as chick magnets, but alot of guys are scared off by that single mom and they have the absurd idea that she wants them to be her kids’ new daddy, or needs a meal ticket. Part of why I think my statement is true is b/c most single moms are raising their kids full-time, don’t get much free time to date, but most single dads only have their kids every other weekend, or a few days a week.
Myself, a single mom, found it very difficult (before I met my bf of 2 years) to find a guy that wasn’t turned off by the fact that I had kids. I remember going speed dating once, and I couldn’t believe how the face of each guy changed (in a negative way) when I told them i was a single mom of 2. It was like the conversation was over at that point!
well….idk..maybe your right..if you really think about it…. BUT .i didnt have any problems startng a relationship with my husband..and he wa a full-time single day….he had custody….
