Ok all y'all youngsters probably won't be needin' to read this but some of us have lived a bit and ended up with progeny from past f"@&ed up relationships and this is where I could do with some advice.

I'm a 50% dad, 50% single guy these days and as 30-something single guy have no probs pickin' up cute girls from pubs, clubs, the gym etc etc. Which is cool. But the other 50% of the time when I'm with my boy (4 y.o.) I can't really go to my usual lairs and I've not really worked out how to be an Adam Sandler 'Big Daddy' yet.

So any other fellas out there who have worked out how to be a Big Daddy, could you pass on the benefits of your knowledge and wisdom? I would be much obliged! I've heard it said that guys with kids are in some way attractive to women but does that apply to super hotties? Or just to women who have had kids, bin f"&@ed ova by a guy and want evidence that there are AFCs out there?

Cheers Guys

Im not a Dad! I do however have many female friends and conversate on many topics.

The general feedback is that the attraction is to a clearly GREAT Dad. What women find attractive about men with their children is that its a chance to see them show their softer side (what women think is the real you minus the ego you have around other men and women). No man is more vunerable than around their own children but again this is only if your a GREAT Dad. Not the AFC Dad

They like it if you act the fool, be silly, show love clearly - all of this plugs into one of the core requirement for a woman to feel attraction for a man and that is he can emote properly. This mean not being an uptight cool ass with your children. Once they see you dont have a rod up your ass and your kid comes first they become putty!

The best places are for example magic city, indoor play grounds for kids where the parents all hang in some far of cafeteria whilst kids go crazy. You can join in with your kids then retreat to the cafe and easily start up a conversation about a million kid/location related topics once they have seen you be a GREAT Dad! Key sticking point.........DO NOT LET THEM SEE YOU CHECKING THEM OUT OR LOOKING AT THEM AT ALL UNTIL AFTER THEY HAVE SEEN YOU WITH YOUR KID FOR AWHILE OR IF THEY DO STICK TO THE 3 SECOND RULE AND APPROACH!!!!! Nothing less attractive to a women than a man using his kid to game!

Thanks fella, however, here's the rub - when I'm out on my jack I have no problems hooking up with younger women mostly in their early 20's but the kids haunts you mention tend to have a higher proportion of 30 something moms, and while these can be great fun, there is often a greater than average chance that they bring with them a whole host of head mashing hang ups, and frankly I don't particularly have the patience to be dealing with that in my life.

Do you think that what you said here:
... would apply to many younger single women, without kids? Mind you, I have a week off as it's half term and I'll be spending it with my boy so I may as well find out for myself and let you know!
