A question from an attractive single mother

[Anonymous]

Do those who are married find attractive single moms a threat?
Every time I go to the playground I get these evil looks and only a few are genuinely nice when I try to talk to them. This one woman literally stared me down today because I happened to be playing with my little one near where her husband was sitting. I felt very uncomfortable and left. I never flirt with married men, honestly I dont flirt at all because don't feel like it. But these women treat me as if I am there to seduce their men.

Maybe this should be posted under another forum. I don't know

How could they possibly know you are single?

What woman looks at another woman's finger to know that they are single?

I encountered a great deal of hostility from married women when I became a widow.

OP here. They know because it's a small neghborhood and I am always alone with my child when we go places in the area.

The looks can be from anything, what makes you think it is regarding their husband? I just think you are trying to toot your own horn here.

So I guess it's not unusual

Never felt it myself. I have a few single friends I've met through playgroups/preschool. No issues.

Maybe you're projecting or making assumptions that aren't valid.

You must be in good shape not just have a pretty face? If so, they are jelaous and I am sure you know it. No need to pretend I am a man and it always strikes me to see a mommy with a hot body!

I don't feel threatened by single moms.
I have several as friends. Maybe you need to move to a friendlier neighborhood.

They share botox? Yuck.

Weird question. Nope- I am not threatened by single moms and never realized that I should be.
Seems like you are overly sensitive or picking up on looks they are giving you for some other reason. Your question makes it seem like you think you may be gods gift to men- maybe the other women are just annoyed by that.

Yes, I am in good shape. This neighborhood is great for me and my child. It's family friendly and quiet and in DC. And I am not going to move from here in a million years. I just wish they could be less hostile.
Well, it's not the end of the world.

By the way, those who don't have insecurity issues actually ask about my workouts and ask for tips
