In today’s fast-paced world it is kind of hard to be too picky about relationships, everything is always moving so fast, and people tend to jump in and out of relationships just as fast. It is not our faults though, it is all part of being human - love can just hit us out of nowhere. We may have all kinds of ideas about what our perfect partner should be like, but then many times we end up falling in love before we ever find that one person with all of the special traits that we are looking for.

When men think about what traits their baby mamma should have, sure, they can come up with a whole list of things, but unless you are very strong-willed in the love department, there is a good chance that Cupid is going to strike you very unexpectedly. Being able to find someone with all of the qualities you are looking for before love hits you is a very unlikely scenario. Although these dating sites they have now may give you a better chance, that is of course if the other person is being honest in their profile, there is really no way of knowing that, so you have to take a chance.

15 Must Be Well Educated

Most dads would like their child’s mother to be well educated, so as to be able to not only take care of the child but also be able to hold onto a good career and to help in financially supporting the family. There are still those guys out there who would rather have their baby mamma stay home and take care of the child/children and the house, while he earns all of the money.

However, in today's world a lot of women do not want to be trapped in the house, but would much rather be out in the world making a living, and apparently, many men prefer that in a woman. Not to mention that for the average household it takes two incomes to make things work, especially when the family is growing.

14  At Least Moderately Beautiful

Ok, so what man doesn’t want his lady to be looking good? And it’s not just men, women want their men looking good also, but when it comes to his baby mamma, he wants good looks to be in the genes. If the man himself is not all that good looking, then the looks need to come from somewhere. If both parents are below average in the looks department than the child does not stand a chance.

There are many things a man will look at besides her appearance, but yes the majority of men asked, say they want her to be at least moderately good looking. Besides everyone wants good-looking children to don’t they? Good looks are nice, but just keep in mind the most important thing, above all else is that your child or children are healthy.

13 Must Be Mentally Stable

It goes without saying that almost all men want their baby mamma to be mentally stable. Of course it is kind of hard to tell how stable she really is and sometimes you won't know until after you have already taken the plunge and put a ring on her finger, and by then it is too late - if she turns out to be a bipolar nightmare, well, you made your bed now you must lie in it.

Of course, if you don’t want to take the chance of breeding with her, there is always adoption - there are so many wonderful children out there needing homes. The best thing you can do is make sure that you date for a very long time before making any commitments so that you have a better chance of seeing who she really is.

12 Should Have Good Morals

Dads need a woman to have good moral values to pass on to the children. If you do not have any morals yourself, then your children who are obviously going to learn from you, won't have any either. So, if you are seeking a woman with good moral values, one of the first things you could do, is make up a list for yourself as to what you consider good. Here are just a few things to think about : be kind to others. Your baby mamma should be able to teach your child how to treat others because too many kids get hurt badly by other kids who bully online and at school. Stealing, and lying should be taught as being very wrong.

How they treat others is probably the most important, because there is already way too much hurt in this world, and a better world starts with just one child, and one home, at a time. That child will follow mom and dad’s lead and then some of their friends will follow their example, and so on. Sounds a little too simple, and it should be.

11  Must Have A Sense Of Humor

Who doesn’t like a sense of humor? In the family unit, it is very important to have fun and laugh together. Laughter is extremely contagious. If your child grows up seeing the two of you laughing with each other a lot, they will also pick up a healthy sense of humor, and in turn, they will eventually take that out into the world with them and share it with others.

Of course with or without a child, a sense of humor is very important. In almost every family, at some time or another, there is bound to be some strife and when all of the members of a household have a good sense of humor, the conflict that may arise will not last as long compared to households with people who seem to have very dull personalities.

10  Must Be Honest

When a man is looking for a baby mamma, it pretty much goes without saying that the woman he gets into a relationship with must be honest. Honesty is always important on both sides, and it is always a good thing to be teaching your children the importance of honesty. Anyone who has been happily married for a good number of years will tell you that honesty is an important quality in marriage.

Both parents need to be able to teach their children how important it is to always be honest. Nobody likes a dishonest person, and if you are not honest with your child, he or she will in turn eventually be dishonest with you. Monkey see, monkey do. Teach your kids about good old honest Abe.

9  Be A Good Listener

A lot of women like to complain that their man never listens to them. Well, that goes both ways - a lot of times, women do not want to listen when a man talks about things that interest him, so both men and women can at times be poor listeners. Now, when a man is looking for someone to share parental responsibilities with, whom he chooses must definitely be a good listener.

We can be very impatient with children sometimes and so it is very important to be able to really listen to your children when there is something bothering them, as well as when they have done something wrong. We need to be able to listen to what was going on with them that made them do whatever it was they did. So yes, a woman should have a good ear for children.

8  Should Be Patient

Raising a child or children can really put your parental qualities to the test. Most men agree that it is extremely important for their partner to have a good amount of patience. If we do not practice patience, we will be unable to calmly handle the craziness that energetic children can bring to a home.

Obviously, you would have to see a woman interacting with a child or children in order to really know if she truly is a patient woman. Even the best-behaved children can try the patience of most adults. They do say that patience is a virtue after all. Although it is not always easy to come by. Patience is not instilled in you, it is something that needs to be practiced, and obtained with time.

7  Must Be Empathetic

Being empathetic to other people is a good trait for anyone to have. The ability to feel and understand what someone else is feeling and going through is very helpful in many different situations. When you are dealing with children, being able to understand them and feel their current emotions makes it so much easier to know how to handle most situations that arise.

Emotional pains are many times much worse than physical pains, and many times when children are upset, the first thing they say is, “You don’t understand”. Being able to sit with them and really show them that you are very understanding of their needs helps the child a lot, rather than, “oh, you’ll get over it”. That leaves them walking away feeling like they are all alone.

6  Should Be Respectful

If a woman shows you great respect, she will more than likely show the same respect to your children, and in turn teach that child or children to also be respectful. So many kids today show absolutely no respect for their elders and any authority figures, all because they are not shown any kind of respect at home. It is true however that every child is unique with their very own personality, and even when taught how to be respectful toward others, some will still be just the opposite, but that is probably a small percentage.

There is no reason that our children should respect us if we do not show them the same. Remember we are our children’s very first teacher. They should already be taught how to act and treat others before they ever step foot in a classroom.

5  Ability To Be Authoritative

Hardly any man wants a woman who will rule over him or who will, “wear the pants”. But when it comes to raising your children, they should be able to do so with authority, so that the child knows who is in charge, them or the parent. Too many parents today become so overwhelmed by their children’s behavior that they end up throwing in the towel and just let the kids pretty much run the house.

One mistake so many parents make today is that they try harder at being their son or daughter’s friend rather than their parent, and if a child is not brought up with a loving yet authoritative role model, then when they get to school, they will not listen to teachers. They will expect all adults to be easy to manipulate.

4  Must Be Supportive

Every man needs a woman to be supportive in all aspects of their relationship, especially with parenting the children. Of course, it is often the other way around, where women are the ones who are wanting someone to be supportive. The truth is that you should both support each other in everything you do.

One thing that often divides parents is their different views on raising the children, especially when it comes to punishment. Both parents should support each other on how a child should be punished, and not just punishment, but how a child might be rewarded for something they did well. Also, parenting can be heartbreaking sometimes, so you should both give each other a lot of emotional support as well. It makes it much easier for both of you.

3 Ability To Love Unconditionally

Unconditional love is a given in every aspect of life. When you get married the words "for better or for worse" have a lot of meaning, it is saying I will love you unconditionally. When you have a child it should be the same way. When they disobey you, when they get bad grades, when you have caught them in a lie, if and when they become unruly, you will still love them.

One thing some children will do only because it is the most hurtful thing they can think of when they get angry is to say to their parents, “I don’t love you.” or, “I hate you.” Even if those words come out of their mouth, we still love them. That is unconditional love. A child will learn a lot from that.

2 Knows What Her Priorities Are

Men want a baby mamma to know what her priorities are, and what is most important to her. Will she make her family, her husband, and child or children their number one priority? Every man wants his wife to make himself and his children the most important things in her life. Many couples have children at very young ages, and they are not solid enough in their life's goals yet. Their priorities are all over the place. If a man is looking for a woman to which he would like to mother his children, it is a good idea to look for a woman who has already placed herself where she wants to be and has a solid foundation that she is building her life upon.

If she still has too many things she wants to do or accomplish, then she cannot very well put you and your children at the top of her priority list. It’s really not that hard to find though because most women do put their children before anything else.

1 Must Have A Strong Stomach

Oh yeah, if you are going to be the mother of my children you best have a good strong stomach. There are a lot of men who will gladly change a baby’s diaper, as long as it is not green and runny - that is when many men start yelling for mamma to take over. Also when a child vomits, a man might start heaving.

It seems as though mothers can stomach just about anything when it comes to their little ones. Women have some kind of inner strength that men seem to be lacking. They will play with their baby, they will feed their baby, and even put them to sleep, but when it comes to bodily fluids, they often run for the hills. Finding a woman with that kind of strength should not be hard at all.
