And what we found? Well, Happy Father&#8217;s Day dads because as it turns out, women&nbsp;are very much attracted to responsible, caring men who know how to take care of their kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After surveying its members, the popular dating site&nbsp;Zoosk uncovered that <strong>83 percent <\/strong>of single women are likely to date a single father. Nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering why women find single dads so appealing? After asking single dads how they approach dating, we came up with a few conclusions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Single dads are more discerning.<br>\n<\/strong>Rather than looking for just a pretty face, single dads want someone who can be a positive role model. In fact,&nbsp;<strong>44 percent<\/strong> of men start evaluating their significant other\u2019s parenting skills on or before the first date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.&nbsp;Single dads want to take it slow.<br>\n<\/strong>Single dads won&#8217;t risk their&nbsp;kids getting emotionally attached to a partner unless the relationship has a future.&nbsp;<strong>43 percent <\/strong>of dads&nbsp;said they would only introduce their kids to their significant other when they know it\u2019s serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Single dads are emotionally mature.<br>\n<\/strong>Putting their&nbsp;kids\u2019 needs before their own&nbsp;is a telltale sign that single dads are&nbsp;emotionally mature.&nbsp;<strong>44 percent<\/strong> of dads&nbsp;admit they&#8217;re likely to allow their children to dictate their relationship, meaning if their&nbsp;children don\u2019t like their significant other, they won&#8217;t&nbsp;continue the relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking to snag a single dad this Father\u2019s Day?\u00a0Zoosk found that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoosk.com\/lov\/local-dating\/dating-in-houston\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.zoosk.com\/lov\/local-dating\/dating-in-houston\/\">Houston<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoosk.com\/lov\/local-dating\/dating-in-los-angeles\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.zoosk.com\/lov\/local-dating\/dating-in-los-angeles\/\">Los Angeles<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoosk.com\/lov\/local-dating\/dating-in-new-york\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.zoosk.com\/lov\/local-dating\/dating-in-new-york\/\">New York<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoosk.com\/lov\/local-dating\/dating-in-chicago\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.zoosk.com\/lov\/local-dating\/dating-in-chicago\/\">Chicago<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoosk.com\/lov\/local-dating\/meet-miami-singles\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.zoosk.com\/lov\/local-dating\/meet-miami-singles\/\">Miami<\/a> are the best cities to find a single father, due to the percentages of single dads in these areas.
