Just thought I'd flip the equation around from the thread below "Women with children"....

I went south as a man with children from a previous relationship and was concerned with what Latinas would think about accepting the "package" of me & my family. Maybe it was by luck of the draw that the ladies I met, were very receptive to me. I remember being "interviewed" about my children's ages, interest & how much time they spent with me. Having full custody "shocked" all the ladies that I met. It definitely worked in my favor :-)

BTW...several of the women I met, had children. Some women, did mention that they would have some reservations with men, who had 3 or more children living with them.

From what I have gathered, having kids has been a negative for many of the young ladies without children.  It is hard to know for sure weather it is the kids or the fact that I am ugly and dumb!  
Frankly their lack of real interest is a good thing because they wind up saving me from myself.  Those ladies would most likely be unable to cope well with my situation yet I could fall for them for some of the wrong reasons. So I should thank them for weeding themselves out for me.  
I am currently interested in a young lady with a very young little girl.  When I go back in January I will learn more of her.  
See YA

Howard,
I remember that.The women were blown away you raised your youngest daughter since she was just months old.Mucho Mucho points with a Colombiana for that one.I was even impresssed.Here If the father got custody,which they sometims do,its always the abuela doing the real raising,My ex girlfriend current bueno amiga Angela,yes I made a deal with Beatriz,no more sex but SHE IS MY FRIEND.Lunch once a month OK?DON'T WORRY,ONCE I COMMITT I NEVER SCREW AROUND.Her ex got custody or her son.Out of spite.Didn't reallly want him ,but wanted to get back at her.You got the bucks,you get the attorney,you get the kid.She said she was so depressed she got in to HARD DRUGS for awhile.Now the guy decides the kid,13,pushing 14 is just in the way,so he  gives to her.HMMM,I think Angela will be 31 soon,I am going to give her a stereo I don't need.This may sound strange and maybe it is not good.But Beatriz wanted to move in.I said your here 95% of the time but that last 5% is my freedom.Then I tell her I just can't say "CHOW " to Angela,but If I can keep her as a friend and I see very seldom,OK,I just can't bear never seeing her anymore.She is SUCH a good person.Wasn't looking for a gringo.IF she is iterested I will get her dates.This girl is GOLD,but Beatriz FITS MY LIFE and loves me more.Angela loves me but can take me or leave me.It would destroy Beatriz and I WILL NEVER DO THAT.
OK,chew my butt.I am going to help her get a job,I have a new contact.
ALSO,I asm so proud of him,my  step son is working as a WAITER in the only Colombian retuarant in San Jose.Shopping center,SE  corner Curtner and Almaden Rd.,back by the theaters,Recincito Colopmbiano.I will tell you he is the best translater in the place.Spoke English after 6 months.Sebastian.Dark short hair.About 5'8".HELL of a nice kid.

Really, damn I was just in there maybe 3, 4 months ago.  I'll have to get back over there, I'll make sure to introduce myself to your son. The couple that owns the place is actually from Cali.  My wife and I met another Calena and her husband there for dinner a few months ago and I took in a bottle of Ron Viejo, but the place was packed and he didn't feel comfortable opening it up since he can only serve wine and beer. -TNC

Looks like the time limit for editing has expired. Maybe Hoda or Patrick can delete this subthread.

I keep telling Angela,I play her the song actually,"Take it Easy ",opening line."I'm Running down the road trying to loosen my load I got 7 women on my mind,4 that want to own me,2 that want to stone me,one says she's a friend of mine".Angela is the friend of mine.Friends of mine are like Gold.I had one before.We both drifed.I saw her yearslater,she was married,I was living together.We got together one time,my girlfriend really liked her.She tells me John,the husband had no idea there was ever  a  sexual relationship.I said,Jenny Niether.Sex is usuallly so good,at least with both of them.No presure.Friends and Fun.The last time Angela and I had sex,like 12 weeeks ago,it was it 2 kids in high school.I couldn't help thinking of "Night Moves" by Bob Seeger,",I used her,she used me,we neither one cared,we were  getting our share."
Beatriz is a wants to own me.Thats fine.I am ready to own and be owned.62 years 8 months friday.Enough.Give me love,intimacy,togetherness,acceptance,commmon goals and purpose,family,I love her family.Getting old?Yes, I admit it.

Hoda,

This is why I respect you. You are doing a real mans job.  Having yur kids full time is a hell of a commitment.

It takes a real man to be there for them.  Your innner light shines though yuur soul.

A standing salute to you Sir.
