Why? Because she either doesn't have custody (as big of a red flag as it gets) or she does and she's hanging out in bars?

Which one it is? Why would anyone want to put up with this shit if they didn't have to?

Most divorced women in DC share custody on a 50-50% basis with the ex. If a divorced mom in DC ends up with sole custody, either Dad opted out or he has a history of some awful stuff (physical abuse, drug use affecting his parenting, etc.) Those are the cases where I might wonder about the divorced mom, or more specifically why she made such a bad choice in her ex.

OP here. Man you people are jerks. I can't have my own biological children and this is an issue for many single women... Unless they already have kids.

In that case... online, or maybe places (and I am guessing here and hoping none of this will seem condescening) like the grocery store, places like the Barnes and Noble in bethesda- kind of community type places where moms will take their kids. They also go out to bars and clubs, but if you want to find specifically a single mom I would say go to places where moms go with their kids. You will just have to take a good look at a woman's left hand before you decide whether to approach or not.

Wow, OP. I'm a PP (the 2nd 31yo mom). I wondered, honestly. Sorry to hear that. You should probably go online and filter for women with kids. And look for rings when you see a woman with kids. You would probably be ideal for someone with sole custody like a GF of mine.

To the other single mom, I suspect there's a bit of envy that you still have a social life. Haters gonna hate. lol

Thanks girl. Yeah I'm such a terrible catch with an intelligent & loving child, a high-paying & flexible job, and plenty of friends. I'm a very giving person and my social life is more about supporting friends than finding men or partying. As another poster already pointed out, I share custody. OP I hope you find someone good for you!

single moms go to bars too. We just can't go every night. I go out with friends once or twice a week on the nights my daughter is with her dad. I value the social time with grownups SO MUCH after a week of one-on-one parenting. it's nice to be able to switch gears and remember a little bit of what my life was like before I became soccer/PTA mom.

single moms probably belong to the gyms that have child care available, too.

But why, WHY deliberately single mothers? Why would you want to date a single mother when you have the option not to? Why is being a single mother the first qualifier? Makes no sense. Sexual attractiveness first, yes. But single mother? Makes no sense.

Strange.

But who would want to be with a woman responsible enough to maintain an amicable 50/50 custody situation with her ex, with enough free time to go out, but too busy to be needy-sound horrible!

Did you miss the part where the OP explained that he cannot have children of his own?

I think the PP you're responding to is the woman hater who tries to get many women on the board to believe nobody decent should/could want them.

I second that suspicion.

Single moms go to bars on occasion, I know I would go for girls nights. Also, other social gatherings of friends/neighbors. When they'd have a party, I'd usually be one of only a few single people there. So, I'd reach out to friends to see if they know anyone.

Are any of your friends married with kids? Between neighbors, their kids in school, their kids in activities, work, etc. they've gotta know single moms.

Good luck to you OP!
