View Full Version : Should a guy be criticized if he doesn't want to date a female with kids?
TVFactFan 05-26-2003, 10:33 AM Just want to know should a guy be criticized for not wanting to date a females with kids? I personally prefer not to date a female with kids because i don't have any and i'm not really ready for family outings. So right now, a single famale with no kids is best for me at this time. Please only mature respones. Any thoughts?
vienna waits 05-26-2003, 10:40 AM maybe you should just give up on females. they obviously have too many hang ups for you.

Thank you, yeah it's crazy how certain females will just get so hype when you prfer to date women with no kids.LOL
Janice 05-26-2003, 10:47 AM I don't think a person should be criticized for not wanting to date someone with children. If the relationship results in marriage and the one without kids isn't committed to their spouse's kids, then it's not fair to anyone involved, especially the children.
I married a man with kids so I speak from experience. It hasn't always been easy, but things are great now. I knew going in that he had financial and emotional obligations to his children.
Marrying someone with kids is a huge commitment, and if you know it's not for you, it's best to not date someone with kids.

Mysty Eyes 05-26-2003, 10:52 AM Not wanting to date her because she has children? ~ No.
Many people don't feel comfortable around children at any time. Some don't feel equipped to handle kids at a particular time in their lives. To date a woman with kids is a huge responsibility. It takes a lot of patience, and the child(ren) will always have to come first. That is a given.
BTW, that works both ways. A woman should not be criticized for shying away from dating a man who has children.

peter may 05-26-2003, 11:56 AM no i don't think they should be criticized, I would not want to date (at the moment as I am only 21 - way too young for kids!!), a woman who has kids.
also, whats with all the solomon bashing, i think his posts are fine and i hardly think he is the next Rainman, I don't think anyone can be as bloody annoying as him! :rolleyes:
Even some married couples choose not to have kids. Nothing wrong or hard to understand about a single man or a single woman choosing to shy away from getting involved in a romantic relationship with someone who has children. The opposite sex is difficult enough for us all to undestand. Toss kids into the mix and you can count on sailing some choppy waters. If you think you're up to the challenge then it could turn out to be very rewarding but still difficult. If you're not interested in taking on that challenge then by all means don't.
Georgia's on my Mind 05-26-2003, 12:02 PM not at all, considering i tortured all of my moms boyfriends until i was 13, ah good times.

:rolleyes: You obviously don't know what Nate was like. SOLOMON has a brain and Nate was lucky if he could spell him name right. Why do you think he always signed his posts? For practice...
-*Leah*- 05-26-2003, 12:50 PM I dunno. I don't think it would really matter to me, unless the kids were like HUGE brats or something, because I usually like kids. I wanna be a teacher someday, so I will have to get used to kids someday any how.:D I don't think that anybody should be criticized for having kids.

Yeah, you're right, Solomon actually posts questions that make you think a bit, even if they sound controversial. The best Nate could come up with was your favorite things about K-Mart, what you liked best about K-Mart, what was your favorite K-Mart logo, your favorite Blue Light special at K-Mart, your favorite checker at K-Mart, your favorite snack at K-Mart, where the best places to pick up girls/guys were at K-Mart (which applied both ways to him), sales figures nationwide for K-Mart, bankruptcy updates for K-Mart, favorite memories over K-Mart, and whether we'd choose disembowelment over missing K-Mart.
Btw, did I mention he was seriously into K-Mart?

I don't think it's a problem if someone doesn't want to date someone that has kids. It adds too much responsibility to the relationship.
Mijada 05-26-2003, 03:29 PM No, Not at all. I don't blame them. I'm a girl and I don't really like dating guys with kids. Too much baggage as far as I'm concerned unless the kids are grown and out of the house.
Ewan's My Man 05-26-2003, 03:40 PM The only person I really think would date with kids would be Ewan. I don't want kids...I wouldn't want to get involved with somebody elses.
*Melissa* 05-26-2003, 03:47 PM I don't think he should be criticized either. I'm female, and I don't even want kids, let alone someone else's!

I don;t have any problems, i just wanted to know should men be attacked if they don't like females with kids. On the flip side, Most women don't lke to date men with kids but they are never criticized but men are.

ok just wondering since all your topics are on women..:D
fr00ti 05-26-2003, 05:29 PM Why? Do you want to be criticized for it? I mean seriously, what's the point of asking?

I'm asking because most men who prefer females with no kids are called all types of names. So i wanted females responses on this question.
Titania 05-26-2003, 05:43 PM no... you have to consider that the relationship would be very different if she already had children.
but i do give guys who would date someone with children a lot of credit- my friend has a 5 year old daughter and her bf of two years is so great and it doesnt bother him that she has a child.
but not everyone could deal w/ that.
Brian Damage 05-26-2003, 06:14 PM I've dated a couple of women who had kids of their own and it could be tough...so no I don't think a guy should be critisized for not wanting to date them.

Not at all. If a guy isn't ready for kids or doesn't want kids at all then it's fine if he doesn't want to date a female with kids or who wants to have kids. Eveeryone has the right to choose to how they live their life. If they don't want kids right away, it shouldn't be a big deal.

LOL!
Okay, I wouldn't date a guy with kids. I might lose out on being with the guy I was supposed to be with, but I just don't want kids. I can't imagine myself having kids. I have zero patience being around kids. I go to Walmart and I want to have a quiet, peaceful time shopping. No way. I hear who knows how many screaming and wailing kids acting up. I just couldn't take it. Seriously, couldn't take it.
Okay, so what about dating a guy that has teenagers? Nope. Yes, it's true that teenagers don't scream and wail, but they can still do other things. Teenagers (some do, anyway) has this offensive guard. If I started dating their dad, I'm sure they would diss me, hate my guts, because they think I have a chance of replacing their mother. Just no way, all the way around. jmo
Edit: If I were the one with the kids, I wouldn't criticize the guy for not wanting to date me. The guy might feel the same way I talked about above. I sure as hell wouldn't criticize him.

Unwanted Angel 05-26-2003, 08:15 PM No i don't think he or she should be criticized for not wanting to date someone with kids. Its your choice, I on the other hand love children and i wouldn't care if i dated a man with children. Its the love that counts.
Solomon what would you do if you fell so deeply in love with a woman and she had children? Would you not date her? Or would you because you are in love with her? Just wondering!

It would never get to that point because I always find out quickly whether a female has kids or not.
BrandonS 05-26-2003, 08:22 PM And then there was Sherry N., who brought her 12 year old daughter along on most of our dates. That kind of put a damper on things.
~*Hannah_Lee*~ 05-26-2003, 08:23 PM I dont think a guy should be criticized for not wanting a woman with kids. That's very understandable. Maybe he dosent think he is ready to handle a family. However, if you truly fall in love with someone, it wouldn't matter as much if they had kids. I'm sure it would still matter, but I think you would be more capable of seeing past it. All in all, though, I see nothing wrong with not wanting to date women who have children. I don't see anything wrong with still being friends with them, however.

It would. Well, you shouldnt be criticized, but if you were serious about her, then she told you about her kid, and you dumped her, yeah you should be criticized for it.
BrandonS 05-26-2003, 09:11 PM No, I didn't dump her because of the daughter. I just kept trying to get the kid out of the dates (without making the kid feel bad).
Sitcomwriter 05-27-2003, 12:08 AM They shouldn't be because some guys aren't ready for kids yet.I believe that I am even though I'm only 15.I would love to have a family although I'd prefer the kids to be my own.

Yeah,I wonder the same thing.
harper 05-29-2003, 11:42 AM your not being discrimatory toward anyone it takes someone with alot of patience to deal with competing or vying for the womens affections because you are not a constant in her life her children are.I dated women a few times with children and it wasn't easy.the problem is that you cannot always choose who you fall in love with,so apart of taking that chance of dating and falling in love is that person might have children or just 1.I don't like undiscplined children,My child is going to understand when it comes to being social there's children hour then its adult time.I hope that helped alittle.
Nanny Fine 05-29-2003, 11:58 AM I have a 9 year old daughter and I have been on a total of about 5 dates in her lifetime. It's extremely difficult, at least for me, to find someone to date because guys can't seem to understand that we are a package deal. You get one of us, you get both of us. She will ALWAYS be my priority. Always.
