I think it’s difficult for most families to get by on 1 income alone. I also think many women would love nothing more than for both parties in the marriage to be equally committed to the family unit. There are many good men and good women out there who believe in working on marriage, but if two don’t believe, you’ve got nothing. Thank you for joining our discussion. I hope you come back and visit again.

Most men want the family circle but i believe its to easy for women now to leave and not look back. Why isn’t there more Families sticking it out anymore!
I say Because they both have jobs that can support themselves! no reason to work together like the cave man days! We really don’t need each other to survive just flings to get us by

Chuckling. In my unscientific polling, Vanessa Williams and Lucy Liu came up multiple times as fave divorced men hotties. (Penelope came up once or twice too, and I ithink she’s adorable!)

Interesting. Blushing yet again. Love that you are doing some very scientific polling on very important topics. (By the way, that Lucy Liu? She’s a hideous creature, no?)

Very fascinating… It’s good to see some of the old traditional rules still hold up (no messing around on the first date if you want a relationship etc.)

Agreed with dadshouse. For divorced dad’s to score more, requires a commitment from the girl. From my experience, being a divorced dad is not necessarily a immediate wall, but one that requires them to commit to the idea that they want to be there. In your world.

And, of course, if your spending time with them, you want a real relationship and not necessarily a hookup anyways.

The other element I’ve been asked early on, weirdly enough, is if I want more kids. Basically asking me if I would start a family with them. Good question and rightfully deserved. Since, it seems that I attract the older single women. There in family mode.

They want to be in your world, but want the idea that your willing to be in there’s too. So it’s all fair.

Divorced Mom’s come with there own issues and concerns, but I have found that there is greater level of maturity and understanding, than single women. It is very valuable perspective. And, when you need to explain that you “have” to go to the ex’s house to pick up the kids, then they are more understanding. This issue has shown up a couple of times with single women. Especially if they are interested in starting a new family.

Divorce sure does present yourself with a double-edged sword.

As a divorced dad, I agree with much of what you wrote. I disagree with this one though: Divorced dads can score pretty easily.

When I was newly divorced, I found it easy to get dates. Partly because internet dating was new. Partly because my kids were quite young, and women could picture themselves in my kids’ lives.

These days, I find it MUCH harder to get a date, let alone score. The available pool of women is much smaller for me. I don’t find it easy to score these days, at all.
