Being a single dad is not for the faint-hearted, the heart breakers
or the players. It is for grown ass men who understand what
responsibility and love are. It might have been pretty easy to knock a
woman up but it gets darn serious when your baby takes its first breath
and you become saddled with the responsibility of parenting.
We’re
talking about diapers, sleepless nights, visits to the ER, school fees,
and a list of other duties that don’t end until you die. Your life is
literally snatched from you the day your baby is born and you never get
to recover it. You simply learn to re-invent yourself and become a new
being, growing and learning alongside your child. That is why in Africa,
a parent loses their name and becomes Papa so and so and Mama so and
so. Very apt.
Now,
some people are lucky to have their better halves with them to raise
their kids together. While others are blessed to do it all alone. It
becomes more difficult if you’re a man and you have to become both mom
and dad for your little one. This automatically means no guys night out,
very few or nil dates and basically no time for yourself. If you want
to be a good father, that is.
You put in your entire time, savings
and devotion in your child and this actually builds something in you
that makes you attractive to the female folk. It’s not the same as being a single mother.
The society is less judgmental towards you and you don’t have this
desperate need to find a spouse just because you are considered to be
out of the market. In fact for being a single dad, your market has just
opened and you find that you have become more eligible to be bedded,
dated and wedded than any other guy out there.
Here are the reasons why women will want to have more sex with and date you.
1.
You understand your role as a leader and role model. Leadership
qualities in men turn women on. And these are most seen in single
fathers.
2. You value character and commitment over shallower
qualities. A single father is committed to his child, this invariable
means you keep your promises and you’ll always be there for those you
cherish. Women are attracted to this.
3. You are playful and have a
great sense of humor. To be a great father you have to be childlike,
let go and take a joke at your own expense. Single dads don’t just
overdose on chill pills, they are chill pills. And what woman doesn’t
want a man that will ease the stress off her shoulders?
4. You are
protective and think of the safety of your loved ones first. Growing up
with my dad, I remember how every night, he’d come into our rooms to be
sure the fan is not too high or we were sleeping well or we have locked
the backdoor properly. He was our guardian angel. Single dads are all
their children have in terms of protection, and protection is an
important factor for women looking for a man to love whether for just a
night, a few days or for a lifetime.
5. You’re emotionally mature.
A single dad is not allowed to be emotionally deficient because he
already has someone filling up that position in his life already. He has
to step up in emotional maturity and find a balance when tackling both
motherly and fatherly roles. Hence, he is more sensitive and stable with
his feelings and this is a plus for him when it comes to women. A man
who can put his shit together at all times will never run out of dates.
6. You love kids.
You’re good with them. Women naturally have baby blues whether they are
mothers already or are yet to conceive. Hence you become a chick magnet
when spotted with a child. The moment they see you and your kid(s)
together, the first expression is “awwww, aren’t they so cute together?”
Well, you know what will happen next.
7. You attract help. Women
always want to help out a single dad with chores and childcare. “Can i
cook for you?” “let me help you braid your daughter’s hair” “is it okay
if i do your laundry?” You can never run out of help once you have a kid
with you.
8. You are patient. Try helping a child in kindergarten
with their homework and have your first taste of what patience means or
try babysitting a two year old who is pumped with sugar. Single dads
who can go through these phases and still come out smiling can face
anything with a woman. Ladies know this and they want a man who can
comfortably handle them.
9. You are gentle. It started from the
day you were handed your newborn and you panicked over how you would
carry the fragile soul but somehow you managed through it. Days, weeks
and months later, you have become conversant with doing things gently.
Your rough manly nature is toned down and you develop tender and caring
hands. Now,what woman doesn’t want those hands to handle her?
10.
You can keep house. Yes, single dads learn how to take care of a home.
For a woman, it’s a sign that he won’t be so difficult and demanding to
live with. He already understand the stress that comes with housekeeping
and will appreciate every effort she makes if they eventually move in
together or get married, and will be hands-on with house chores.
11. You’re
unavailable. The fact that you have a little one to care for makes you
unavailable and this, in turn, makes you attractive to women. You pose
as a challenge to them and trust me, women love the chase as much as the
men do.
12. You are married but without the ring. We all know how
attractive married men are to single women. Now imagine a man who
possesses same qualities as a married man but is not bound to any woman.
The possibilities are endless!
What I’m trying to say
here is that it is not a bad thing to be a single dad at all. Once you
can put your act together, ladies will flock to you like moths to a
flame.
