Do mid 30s divorced women with children have any hope of finding someone in their age bracket?

Agreed!

I have a single, divorced mom friend. She’s always completely frazzled and can’t believe she has to do this or that for her Kids (I can’t find the time with work. It’s hard being single!) but miracle of miracles! she always has time to date men and get laid.

You don’t need a man to be happy right now. Your KIDS DONT NEED A MAN to be happy right now. They wanted their FAMILY. Not some guy who wants you in bed and boosts your confidence.

This is stupid. Of course she should date. Happy women are better mothers. Have fun, OP!

Me too. What’s funny is folks think it’s odd or don’t believe me when I say it. Being coupled is overrated.

If you are healthy and have good judgement I think you should date. If you are one of those women who notoriously chooses poorly and dates because she’s afraid to be alone I say no. In all matters put your kids first.

Agree that the kids come first.

Divorce should be a warning to use better judgment for finding future mate. Don't bring home dudes who might hurt her AND children.

I absolutely buy this. I'm at the point in life where I cannot imagine putting up with a man's shit if I don't have kids and a life with him. Like why would I do that to myself? If i were to ever divorce, I would absolutely remain single afterward.

This. Exactly. There is zero benefit for me to deal with bs from a man I have no ties to.

Damn it, who is twisting the arms of these women who don't want to date to participate on a dating advice thread?

As a divorced man, I feel the same way (don't want to put up with women's shit, why would I do that, absolutely intend to remain single).

Now cue the shrieks of "you are immature and selfish!"...

Is their any hope for them or will they have to settle for much older men?

"Settle" amazing women routinely use the phrase "settle", as if they were better than other people. If its the best you can do it's not settling, its reality.

She wants a high-quality, younger man who is interested in a post-fertile woman with kids.

Basically, she wants an alicorn.

"B.S. from a man" translates to "he doesnt do what I want him to do". You are right no reason to deal with BS from anyone, I do not understand why so many people put up with crap. That is exactly why it is harder for single women with kids to find someone, they bring a ton of crap and headaches with them and many are looking for a source stability, consistency and security. There is only one thing you can do for a man he cant do for himself

I am super liberal in every other way, but when it comes to divorced parents with children dating I am 100% with Dr. Laura Schlesinger on this. She tells people not to date until your kids are grown. Your kids don’t need a step parent or step siblings or a new half sibling when they’ve already experienced the trauma and loss of their family.

Are you divorced? Happily married?
