Would you date a single mom?

[Anonymous]

I see this question pop up quite frequently on this forum. Why do women insist on asking this asinine question??

Yes, single moms remarry all the time. No, it doesn't always work out. Every situation is so unique that there is no possible way to answer this question.

For the men that say "no" I bet that if they found themselves single one day in their late 40's they would probably reconsider.

STOP THIS NONSENSE PLEASE

Signed,

A former single mom who managed to date and remarry again.

The question was would you date a single mom. Maybe, but you'd have to be nuts to marry one.

Ever heard of the concept “falling in love”? It happens sometimes!

You're missing out, guys.

In the bedroom, single moms are right up there with restaurant hostesses and medical techs.

Absolutely not, and I say that as a previously single dad.

[Anonymous]

Absolutely... I know she puts out!

[Anonymous]

Only if the guy also has kids. Otherwise, no.

The issue is not being single a mom, is having more than one baby daddy, which requires too much coordination on weekends.

Being a single mom is a plus to me, vs someone with no kids. My two cents...

That is because single women with no kids will not date you.

It in no way requires you to get married.

So, I have a couple of single male friends who were definite Peter Pan types and were generally serial monogamists.

Then, they hit 50. They realized their looks were fading, and they were staring into the abyss of old age alone. One ran out and married a single mom with 2 kids, and the other mostly dates single moms.

I was introduced to a single mom by a good friend after resisting for a few months for all the obvious reasons. Kids, custody, marriage baggage just name it. I finally gave in to shut her up and I was happily surprised. I wasn’t surprised that she was beautiful - thank you Instagram - but she didn’t carry marriage baggage and after a couple of months I met her kids and I was “ok, they are not screwed up kids of divorced parents.” That’s when I realized that their mom really had her act together. 5 years and two more children later it’s worked out great but I think I’m the exception to the norm.

New to dating apps. Not gonna lie, I found the unmarried childless men (age ranging 30-42), to be a much more attractive physically and credential wise (level of education, job, etc).

Take heart, single moms! Somewhere out there for you, there is a weak and insecure older man with fading looks who has been incapable of forming lasting relationships but is now desperate. Act fast, though - a catch like that won't come your way every day!

Age of the DCs matter. Nothing under the age of 5 and prefer the kids to be older.
