Prefer that over a divorcee or never wedded with children

A widow with kids is probably one of the best options out there if you are older and are not going to date someone in their 20's.
She is not a divorced woman with unresolved issues. She is not a tramp in her 20's that suddenly found God and posts inspirational posts in her stories. Still a lot of baggage there.
Most likely she is a good wife who loves her family, and unfortunately her husband was taken from this world. That is not baggage, its just an unfortunate situation.
She will be looking for a very good man to help raise her kids. She will put her kids first but will want to love again. It will be a challenge for an average man to understand that along with all the complications with kids that are not yours.

Depends if the deceased left the widow with a huge pile of money, bass boat, and condo in Orange Beach. I could be down for that.

Age of both the widow and the kids would factor heavily. Quantity of kids would be another factor.
If she’s early 30’s and has one kid and you both wanted more kids too, no big deal.
If she’s pushing 40 with multiple elementary school aged kids, then no

I know someone who matches this description and I'd put a ring on it right now.

A friend of mine married a divorcee with kids. Nice gal, and great kids, but the ex-husband was a total deadbeat, and made things difficult for them. My friend ended up spending a fortune to get full custody. It's a common story. It was totally worth it to him, and I respect him immensely for it, but that is something I would prefer to avoid.
I figure the majority of women have at least 2 kids. If I ever got divorced or wife died, no way in hell im committing to anything serious. I have 2 kids, I dont want 4.

Did she kill the husband?
Yeah, might want to check the details. Might be one of those serial black widows we've all heard about.....

Man, A LOT of generalizations in this thread.

Any reason you singled that specific post out to illustrate you point? That might be one of the best posts in this thread

This is aimed at men to answer but just thinking in reverse:
If I were the widow, I’d make it clear early on that my wife was my soulmate and would be talked about often. I think that can be tougher for women to embrace.
I think the most natural thing is for two widows to end up together. I’ve seen that happen a couple of times.

Because its just a lot of assumptions about a hypothetical person, and he's implying that having a dead husband somehow makes this hypothetical woman virtuous, motherly, loving, trustworthy, not a whore, etc. What does having a dead husband have to do with any of those things?

Here's hoping none of us ever wind up in a rescue dog's situation.
But yeah, I think most any bloke would have done well to date Mr's crocodile hunter.

Kid or kids?
1 kid, I am ok.
2 or more, there are other guys out there that would be a better choice for her than me.

when I was a single man ho a chick with kids was a hit and run, or maybe a few dates area only for me, didn't intend to marry, damn sure didn't want to be raising someone else's kids, in retrospect that was a pretty shitty attitude on my part and probably let a few pretty good women get away

I dated one a few years back. It was tough, you aren't and never will be her husband and her love for him doesn't die either. So you end up being in this odd limbo. She loves and cares about you but at the same loves a ghost of a perfect husband. She seemed to always have this unbelievable reverance for him like he was superman. I kinda knew the guy he wasn't that and didn't even treat her great.
It's a hard situation to jump in to.

My wife might take a dim view of this.

Guard your sperm. Nobody has more incentive to trap you than a widow/divorcee w small children.
