As a white man of course. It seems I come across this question in the dating world a lot these days. I sometimes meet these women who prefer black men for most part but wanna date me lol. I always hear"my ex beat me up and is no father". I feel like these women are red flagged instantly to me. I wanna know others opinions on this subject. ---

Yes, I would date a white woman with a black child. No, I would not date any woman that is just looking for a free meal ticket or a ‘baby’s daddy’. Which is what I think you are trying to imply. ---

It depends on the lady. If I got the impression that she was crazier than a shit house rat, no. But if she was normal, why not. Of course I’m not in the dating pool, so take that as you will. ---

Duckster’s “Reported” response indicates that he has alerted the moderators so that they might move this thread to a forum better suited to its subject matter - in this case, most likely the In My Humble Opinion (IMHO) forum, where opinion-laden responses are sought. ---

That’s crazy. I for one would not want to raise one of [these](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_That_Be_Your_Last_Battlefield). The kid would be teased endlessly. ---

I would hope it’s the top half. Otherwise, what’s she doing with a pair of baby legs? Yes, I would date a woman with a child. The skin color and racial makeup of the mom and the child are not relevant at all. ---

Fuck no. Of course I wouldn’t date a woman with a white child, an asian child, or any other child. ---

> [@](#): > > Risky question:Would u date a white woman with a half black child? I dated a woman with two of ‘em, back when I was dating. Dating a woman with kids was challenging and I wasn’t up for it, so it didn’t last. But it had nothing whatsoever to do with the kids’ racial background. ---

The question is: would you risk a white half-woman to blacken a child? And if not, then would you half-question a black woman’s risky child? Because if you would, then I think that’s racist. ---

maybe dating means something different now, but what does the child have to do with it? dating is not ‘pre-engaged’ as they used to say. Drop her off after at home or at the sitter’s - makes no difference. Certainly age has something to do with it. By the time you are in your mid-30s, most of the women you date will have a kid.
