Those are things that vary by man.
I dated a single dad before. He was amazing! But failed relationships affected us differently. Although I wasn’t that into him yet, he made it clear that his marriage really hurt him and while he was a good man to me, he didn’t want to think of getting remarried any time soon.
Most of the guys I have been with didn’t have kids. Two have been amazing and knew exactly how to handle my daughter. A few were too eager to step in as the ‘new dad’. That didn’t go so well.
If you are a single mom looking for somebody to date, I suggest you not worry too much about if they have kids or not. There are good and not so good men on both sides. Just make sure they are ok with your rules when it comes to how much freedom they have to ‘play daddy.’ And if you do get with a guy that has kids, make sure they are compatible with your own little family. The kids probably wont’ get along perfectly, but you want to know that they are at least physically and emotionally safe around each other.
They all want to play the field for a little while but that starts to get old after a bit

I think there’s pros and cons to each:
guys with no kids might not have the understanding of what it’s like to balance dating when you have kids, they may not understand what’s normal kid behaviour, but maybe they’re a teacher or coach or have worked with kids so who knows. But at least you won’t have to share him with other kids, you won’t have to deal with another man’s baby momma, in addition to your baby daddy.
My boyfriend’s baby momma can’t stand the fact that her kid’s dad is helping to care for my kids, I’ve tried to explain that we’re in a relationship and trying to build a family and that of course he would form a relationship with my kids, but she’s resentful that he spends time with my kids instead of time with his own kid (who she hardly lets him see anyway LOL – just can’t win!)
guys with kids typically understand kids and balancing a little better, but it requires alot more balancing and sharing. guys could feel guilty about giving your kids attention instead of their own. And yes, most of them want to enjoy there freedom when they first become single again.
I wouldn’t worry about stereotypes, it’s on them, if they’re not cool enough to get to know you for you, it’s there problem, just move on to the next guy. I’ve dealt w/stereotypes like guys thinking I must be on welfare, but it doesn’t get me down
