London, UK (RPRN) 6/26/09— MumsDateDads, a new upbeat and light hearted parent dating site, has experienced a significant surge in membership numbers, with a large proportion of these being single Dad’s.  With recent figures estimating that 1 in 9 single parents are men, MumsDateDads is finding that single Dads are looking to experience the excitement of meeting new people, mixing with other single parents and organising that previously impossible task of a first date.

According to research undertaken by MumsDateDads amongst single Fathers, finding a new partner is deemed the single hardest task facing single fathers after childcare.

Andy Hammonds, Founder of MumsDateDads, commented: “Equality in the workplace means that when parents separate the children don’t automatically remain with their Mum. It is therefore no surprise that the increase in single Fathers has led to an increase in the number of male members joining our site. Being a single parent, whether you are a mum or a dad is extremely time consuming and as a result, many simply give up on going out and finding a new date.”

“MumsDateDads provides single parent dating services, enabling dads, and indeed mums, to meet others who understand the pressures of single parent life. The fact that it is online is a huge benefit to single parents with busy lives. MumsDateDads makes dating for parents a quick, simple and enjoyable process – simply log-on, search for other single parents and arrange to meet-up.”

The website is entirely free and grants access to thousands of single parent profiles all over the country. Additionally, for a minor subscription fee of as little as £7.50 per month, users can customise their profiles to use video content and send and receive virtual gifts, whilst there is also a text service for those single parents who are constantly on the go.
