I just want to get some idea of how ppl feel about this subject. Would you date someone who had kids and consider marrying them? Or is it a turn off?
I myself think that children are special and its not their fault that their parents are not together. So it doesnt bother me for a man to have kids and i know they are part of the great equation.

no problem here as long as our kid(s) get along with your kids. most fellas want a kid of their own or not any kids at all. so, do the math, your kids, and our kids. we call that simple math. why would any woman think that a fella would come in and pick up another fellas load and "thank the Lord".

to be honest, i prefer someone who has no kids yet so we can spend all our precious time together. you can call me selfish but i want to live a life without worrying about other woman's children. that is just my preference.

Raised two, fostered more, and would consider it a great bonus if I could find someone with grandkids...kids are kids. I like them and they seem to like me, so that's never been a problem. I, however, always seem to attract men who've never had kids and like it that way...

I've already married a woman with 3 kids. The kids are the only thing I miss from my marriage.

According to some people, children are parasites.

I actually had a guy (from another dating site) want me to take care of his child while he left the country for a couple of months for work. He was going to pay me, but we hadn't even met yet, and I hadn't even met his child! I was pretty shocked.
Of course I'd date a guy who had kids, but of course when it comes to marrying someone there are many decision makers involved aren't there? Him, his kids, me, can we all be a family? How involved is his ex? That would take some thought and consideration, it's not just an instant yes or no answer until you get to know each other.

I actually prefer dating (or marrying) a woman that already has kids, because she tends to have a better understanding of who I am (because I'm a single-dad too).

20 years ago I married a widower with 3 kids... sad to say, the kids had issues with their mothers death and needed professional help... it helped with the 2 younger, but the oldest boy was violent and angry all the time and most of his violence was directed at me.. I had to leave for my own safety... and my husband was such a wonderful man too, but he could not control those children.. all of them have police records now and the oldest has been in prison numerous times..

 Sorry, no small kids for me. I'm way too old to start raising a family. By the time they're in college I'd be almost ready to retire.

Most women my age go running when they see I still have a 11 and 16 y/os at home, since they've already raised their's, and they're ready for freedom. I can't say that I blame them, I'd feel the same way. As far as marrying someone with younger kids, I'd have to think about it long and hard.

In my opinion whether or not they have children shouldnt matter if you are serious about that person. The first thing that comes to mind is that the children of a person is only an extension of that particular person. Therefore it is a package deal. The other thing that comes to mind is that the children of that special someone would need your love as much if not more than the significant other because that is a part of their life that is missing. i think if a person has children, it only means that there is more to love. Not to mention what you can add to their lives and what differences you can make in thier lives. Just remember there are bad people with good children and bad children with a good parent but they all need to love and be loved just as you do. (JMO)

I dont think that applies to the original post but then again the glass is always half empty to some.
