Responsible Fatherhood

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

We are here to promote the role of today's fathers in a mature masculine format. We're here to serve and want to help all fathers in various situations, to help educate, whether it be in a divorce setting or simply to just be a better loving dad. If you have any questions or would just like to tell your story, feel free to drop us a line at [email protected]. Please be patient as this a work in progress to prepare for the launch of our mainstream website. Fathers rights are a concern that should demand more attention from everyone. There are surprisingly few resources out there for men and fathers, especially in times of need such as divorce or a loss of a child, etc. What can be done about this? We need to become active, and most importantly, involved. If you need help, let us know, we'll do all we can to facilitate said help. If you can volunteer or have any ideas to promote our cause, please let us know. Take time to look over the site and tell us what you think, suggestions for improvement are welcome.

My Interests

Volunteerism and activism. We need to play an active role. Start a local Fathers Rights group. This doesn't need to be for just men, it doesn't have to be a boys club, lots of women see the value of involved fathers. But how do we promote this, we have to be leaders when we don't want to be, we have to be active and diligant.

I'd like to meet:

Men and women who value the important role that fathers play in their childrens lives. Society in general has pegged fathers as simply nothing more than walking wallets. We are looking for peaceful, thoughtful, generous people who are willing to stand up for a cause that we believe the silent majority believes in, but we need to take it to the forefront of their attention.
