[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've really slowed down my posting recently b/c of the guy (or troll or multiple men) who are posting such angry, bitter posts about women -- especially single, divorced or both.

Yes, I am a woman, I am a mother, I am divorced and...wait for it, I also work full time and support myself.  My ex pays child support -- which, newsflash, is for the kids.  I've been dating a single father for over a year, but have been divorced much longer.  I did not come to DCUM when I was first divorced, but I could have used some of the insights.  I felt alone and had no clue about dating.  I'm glad you are so open with your views -- happy to avoid any man that views me or my kids in this negative way.

I do, however, want to give advice when my experience can be helpful to someone else going through a situation that I've been through.  If this were your sister, would you be this judgmental and vile towards her?  If this were your daughter, would you berate her for choosing the wrong spouse and trying to find some romantic relationship in her personal life?  Would you constantly shoot back saying that no man will ever want her unless she goes for the ugliest, most unsuccessful man she can find?  It's enough already and I just look at what you do as beating someone when they are down.  That says to me that you are incredibly insecure and most likely hurt by a woman. It appears that you have some serious anger issues and I'm sure that comes across to people who get to know you IRL.

If the OP needs some blunt advice about what she might be doing wrong in terms of meeting men, then go ahead and give it.  Not suggesting it has to be rainbows and unicorns.  She asked for input on why she's not meeting men as a single mother.  How is your opinion that kids should have married parents relevant to her question?

I hope people will continue to give real responses to the different questions posed in these threads.[/quote]
