[quote=Anonymous]I'm a divorced dad (equally shared custody) - perhaps an outlier though.

I used a couple of on-line sites (OKC, and Match) I was fortunate to have a pretty easy time meeting women online and in the day-to-day of real life.

Men typically have to initiate contact with women first - and on average, women get contacted 10x (at least) more then men do.  Although I did get contacted by women first more often than I contacted them.  But generally speaking, women have a much easier time meeting men - if that is what a woman wants (which is not always the case).

I preferred to date single/divorced moms and they really were the only ones who understood the lifestyle (demands on time) of running a single parent household.  In talking with friends, and even today friends of my now new DW, women who are divorced and still single (i.e., not necessarily by choice) tend to have unrealistic expectations (lists), are still carrying some emotional baggage or simply aren't in a good place (not happy).

I never compromised on my kid - my dating life had to fit in around family and work.  I made that clear in my profile and when I would meet women - only 1 woman I had met in 4 years seemed to have a problem with that.  But I did meet a number of fantastic single moms and am lucky that I met and married an exceptional woman.[/quote]
