    i'm the same way too. maybe i'm selfish, but i currently have no interest in having kids. i'd rather save the dough and the headache and travel around the world...that is, when i can finally afford to lol.

    If he was a new guy I just met, no. But if I was already with him and greatly invested in the relationship and he just learned he had a son, I'd weigh the pros and cons but I'd probably stick around.

    exactly my point, it has a lot to do with attraction, wealth, then having a kid.

    It would be a good idea to post age. If you're older more likely to accept children as part of the package. I'm 26 and I wouldn't want a partner with a child.

    LOL not necessarily. I do commend you for your efforts, single DAD- that's not common.

    Actually my sister in law is dating a loser who has a kid but is letting his mom and dad raise the little one. He has only stepped up the the plate as a "big brother" not responsible father.

    Thanks, I would never ask or expect another to raise my child but I can see at the same time why most women would run for the hills at the mention of a little one

    Go ahead and try, keep your son really far from all the ladies. Do not bring home chicks to bang, no no none of that.

    Even though I'm a boy, I agree 100 percent with girl68. Don't ever bring home anybody like that especially if your son is there. Hope I didn't sound redundant.

    Guy commenting here: I was reading just to see how people responded to the question. I have a son, and it is something I tell any potential gf right away. I am currently dating a woman who has a child, and that has been going MUCH better than when I was with women who did not have kids of their own. Being a parent fundamentally changes you.
