So, would you say a 45 year old single woman who doesn't have kids is going to have better odds dating wise than a divorced mom of the same age who has kids at home still? Would most men rather date a woman without kids - even if that man has kids of his own?
The guy wants the woman’s time. Her having obligations on her time who haven’t left home yet is not an attraction. Her career in not an attraction, neither are her degrees, and neither are her kids.
These are all BS stereotypes. If someone wants to date you, they will prioritize you. This doesn't mean that their kids are not taken care of and prioritized too.
My ex fed me this line one day . . . said that he didn't want to help raise my daughter. I walked away and each time that he was tried to contact me since, I have politely turned him down. It has taken such inner peace and calm to not give him a true peace of my mind. I would schedule lunchtime "hookups", went to a swingers club with him, and did all kinds of creative and fun activities while dating. I even had a "team XXX" jersey made to take to the "club" to let everyone know that I was his. Yep, I am fit, work out, and have a wonderful career but I also realize the important of bringing spontaneity to a relationship to keep it going.
He was too busy evaluating me from his narrow mindset to realize what he had. The hardest thing to do is to offer the same level of openness again.
