I had the same experience -- from being the sole dad to being one of three or four! I think I even blogged it, although I can't remember when. Anyway, I've never had trouble being friends with women -- in fact, ironically, I've never really had a man friend until recently. But when I say friends, I mean friends -- most of my acquaintances at the park aren't people I'd probably be friends with. They're lovely, but, y'know, a 21-year old nanny or a rich mom who drives three SUVs at the same time or just someone with whom I don't "click" -- we're not likely to get friendly. That day, though -- well, everyone thought I was cool. Luckily (?) the phenomenon has passed! Hey, thanks for writing!

I'm usually the only 'game' in town. Actually, the attention can be a little odd and I bet you feel the same way. Its very difficult for men and women to be friends outside of marriage and being a stay at home dad puts us in different situations. SAHD's do lots of things that perk up the ears of the mom's and nannies - we are still the oddity. While the attention is fine, if not a little confusing, having Working Mom there to witness makes it even more odd. I just smile and focus on the lads. It's a whole lot more fun!

I don't see any other women" while you are looking adoringly at her. :) No, the actual response should be “what women? I don’t see any other women” while you are looking adoringly at her. :)
