    Well, sorry to hear that. But....

    Many women won't date a guy with kids for the same reason many men won't date a woman who has them. A ready made family is a big responsibility, and she might not want a man with so much baggage.(no offense) Also, many women think the man with kids is looking for a housewife to take care of them. They just want to date and have fun, not take care of kids that aren't theirs. I don't need to tell you that women are greedy when it comes to your time; how will you provide the attention a woman requires when you've got all those kids?! Try dating single mothers. At least you'll have single parenthood in common. good luck.

    not all women would run away, in fact some like me with run toward a guy who's that committed to his kids. If you are there for your kids, it's a good chance you will there for her children too. But don't feel bad if someone rejects you. After all, you need a woman who will love your kids like her own. I hope this is the best answer. Good luck and continue loving your children. Truly, a heritage from the Lord.

    Honestly? For a lot of women it is a jealousy factor. You are HER man with someone else's kids. They look at the time spent with the children as time not devoted to them. The type women you speak of have a hard to understanding that while they will come first in their man's life, most of the time, when needed, the children will always surpass her. Tough blow to their egos, hence selfishness. Keep looking, there are women out there who have no problem with men who already have children. It's just like trying to find a needle in a hay stack sometimes.

    Not all women are scared of men with kids - but probably a large majority are. Look at it from the woman's prospective- she has to not only woo you, but also woo your kids (who are probably much tougher!), she may be in their mother's shadow and have to live up to their real mom (you didn't specify the situation with their birth mom). The fact that they don't have kids also means that they are potentially jumping into a mom type role with your kids - especially if they hit it off with you, and some women just aren't ready for that.

    There are women out there that don't care if you have kids or not, just keep looking! Have you tried dating other single moms - they probably know exactly what you are going through in regards to dating.

    I can't believe that women would see that as a bad thing. I personally think that proves you are a great man. Some women might just be jealous that you have another love in your life that will always be above your love for her. Don't waste your time with woman who won't see what an amazing and rare thing you are doing raising your kids.

    Hi Justin all I can say hun is you are one fab guy looking after your children. You hang on in there, someone will come along and will be very happy to be part of yours and your children's lives. The ones that have done a runner were not meant to be and your children wouldn't have been happy with them. Keep up the good work hun

    They think it would be difficult to go into a relationship with a man with children. How would the kids react to her? How is she supposed to react with them? It can be overwhelming for a woman with no children.

    You may just have to find a woman with children already.

    Good Luck and I hope you find someone.

    Women hate every aspect of responsibility. They are much worse than men though they dispute this absolute fact.
