Easier for single dads than single moms to date?

[Anonymous]

I think that there is a market in terms of both supply and demand for hearing about dating woes of women. So I suspect that single dads or single men have just as many problems, but you just don't see HuffPost thinkpieces about it.

Most women aren't decent-looking. I ride the Metro every day, so I know what's out there.

Because men age like fine wine, women age like milk

When I was single I wasn't put off by a guy being a single Dad. My guy friends would never date a single mom, though. I think it's because women are more nurturing and we're willing to open our hearts and arms to more people. My guy friends simply didn't want to raise another man's child or have his leftovers as they so juvenilely put it.

I, as a mid 30s single male, would "date," and by that I mean f4ck, a hot single mother. But I will NEVER, EVER raise another man's child.

NEVER

do you think most would prefer to date women with children or childless women?

Prefer to date women with kids. Get married to someone with kids - no.

Haven't you noticed it's a man's world by now and we just live in it? Everything is easier for them.

Because men generally abandon their kids and only play Disney dad every other weekend.

+1. Even if this isn't true, no one blinks when they have babysitters, grandma, or ex-wife "cover" their days. Men are supposed to have lives, you know. Women are supposed to facilitate them.

+1. Way easier on the dad, as it was when he was marri s too.

That said, women can find dates and future partners. I have been to several wonderful second weddings for divorcees and widowers, in all cases the women had 2-3 kids, primary custody. One case is true Brady bunch, 3+3, and then they had a 7th!

No, women demand custody because they want cash and prizes, and the courts generally give it to them.

Deadweight workaholic paycheck dads do not get 50% custody. And yes they usually are the root source of the broken marriage and divorce filing.

True. But even a beast can easily find several men willing to have NSA sex with her. Can a decent looking woman find ONE (let alone several) handsome, well-educated, well-paid man willing to commit to them? Much harder. Such men will generally want a woman with no kids - and such men can get them.

So let’s say 35yo mom of 2, her prospects are men in their 30’s and 40’s who either have their own kids (so anything serious is complicated by that) or men who don’t have kids, many of whom don’t want kids. And even the men who DO want kids and DON’T have them may want their own biokids and the age of the woman will be a concern. If you are just screwing around then it won’t matter but if you want a real relationship it is tricky.

Take the male counterpart 35yo dad of two: his prospects are women in their 20’s and 30’s, many of whom don’t yet have kids and want them, and are young wnough to envision adding a baby to the man’s existing kids with no major concerns.

In my early 30s with 1 kid. Dated and married a man the same age, no kids and isn't motivated to has his own (but loves mine). So it isn't always as stereotyped. Maybe because I don't have two kids, but I've yet to date men with kids. Can't find them below 40? 45? Which is a lot older than me.

I don't know of "easier" is the right term. But I do know a lot of men with children that secured the first woman to walk by. By secure I mean, not marriage, but obligation. Or men that continued to carry on with the woman they cheated on the wife with...so I've only really seen men act desperate, have low standards, and blend families quickly to "secure" the woman.

Most of the single Moms I know don't let men interact with their kids until it's serious. Thus, when dating doesn't go anywhere it doesn't hurt the kids.

Guy: dating for 2 yrs and never introduced kids: exDW introduced AP within weeks. Women seem more willing to introduce their kids the longer they have been divorced. Some within very short time.

What kind of idiot pays for a "wonderful second wedding"? Sounds like a waste of money.
