I’m a single man with no kids and I’d prefer to not date a woman with kids. I don’t want to date a woman with kids. Children annoy the hell out of me and I do not enjoy the company of ill behaved kids. I want a woman all to myself. I don’t want to have to be with a woman who has to cancel our dates because she can’t find a baby sitter or can’t find her “baby daddy.” I’d actually prefer a single childless woman. I don’t want to be second to any woman’s brats. So as I said before, no women with kids.

I musy say kids have a way of making you realize how selfish you used to be and how selfish most people in the world are.

this is so good! And there ARE guys out there who are naturally more open-and even excited- about the fact that you are a mom. Kids to them are not baggage, but icing!
Like what my friend’s G.U.. said to her in a recent email:

“What scares me is that it does not scare me. [Name of child here] does not scare me either. I’m going to have to restrain myself here and not go on about how much I love being around kids…”

Love, love, love these thoughts!!! What an awesome discussion.

So – the conlusion = single parents get it.

Now if we could just find each other in the flesh. So funny! Because we’re all stuck at home parenting and can’t meet. I have to arrange a big single parent party in my city.

Has anyone ever done that?

One thing I have noticed about dating a single dad is that they just … GET IT. Where as the childless men don’t. I had one man tell me that my “availability sucks” and another that told me that my face lights up when I speak of my daughter. I think, it just depends on the man.

I heart JonB.
