How is that so? She is available 25% of the time, he is available 75% of the time.

Assuming partners cohabit or get married, a single mother is easier than a single father whose child doesn't live with him.

Easier? How? For who?

Marrying/cohabiting a single mother who has custody is certainly not easier for the man. So much so, you wonder why he'd even want to do that.

Marrying/cohabiting a single father whose child doesn't live with him -- what's hard about it? His kids stay over every other weekend or whatever - why is that harder than marrying/cohabiting with a single mom whose kids live with you 75% of the time?

I met my current partner on a dating app so I don't think you should ignore that option. But You have to be very clear about what kind of relationship you want before you waste anyone's time (yours and theirs). Don't assume all single mothers are looking for a replacement daddy; you can find pretty much anything you want, you just have to be clear without being creepy. It's very doable.

This is very true. In my profile I was very honest about the type of relationship I was looking for and while it narrowed the playing field I know it was helpful. I wish more men did the same thing.

I have no interest in marrying or cohabitation with a single father. Not only is blending families difficult but dealing with different custody schedules presents a whole other set of complications.

Say the best you can pull is a 6. So if you go for a single Mom, you can now pull a 7.5. That’s without losing weight, getting fit, getting a promotion, or any of the other things you do to boost your own SMV. Just the instant decision to date single Moms has a +1.5 point impact in what you can bag.

Then consider this: you get this chick and wife her up. She knows what it’s like to be a single Mom, and she doesn’t want to go back. Once you’ve locked her in, have her go get new b***s. That would take her to an 8 or 8.5, a stone-cold MILF.

All because you opened yourself to dealing with a step kid.

This! With new boobs she’s be at least a Solid 8.

Lol

Not sure why but this post cracked me up.

lol same here. Mainly because it's so absurd and juvenile.

+3 - I feel like an old ex boyfriend of mine could have written this. Wifing chicks up and assigning SMV. Mr. W, is that you?

I did too and while I didn't write FWB that was what I was looking for. Someone like me with a limited amount of free time but the desire for good conversation, nice evenings out and great sex. The first guy lasted about six months before he started talking about our future together (not where I wanted to go) but I've been with the second guy for almost two years and things are great except we only get to be together once every two weeks or so. I'd like to get married again someday but it won't be for a few more years.

I also did not want to put in my profile that I am looking for sex, one, because I also want to go out dancing, movies, dinner, etc. and, two, I would tell the man in person if I liked him. So my profile reads something like "busy professional, mom; looking for a similar man" I had one guy message me he fits that what I am looking for and suggested that he come over with just his tool belt on
After that I wasn't sure if I am sending the wrong "code" with my profile

I wouldn't tell any guy that because YES it will send the wrong impression. If you want to get married someday I'd really get to know the guy first. Let the sex come after you think he may be the one. Otherwise you're wasting your time imo. Not to mention putting your health at risk. Do you do health screenings with these guys before you sleep with them. Not a bad idea...especially if you want to get married in a few years.
