I think I'm more important question is what do you think about single dads. Here's what I found I have never had an objection to dating a single mother. Her child or children are part of her and they should be accepted as that. Before I had my child I dated and married a single mother. That relationship did not last when I caught her with someone else.

my next marriage resulted in a wonderful daughter. I now have primary custody and she lives with me 90% of the time. She goes to her mother's two maybe three days a month. Now one thing I have noticed in the dating world is women do not accept men who have custody of their child. On more than one occasion I have had a woman tell me who has their own children from previous relationships that they don't see how I would be able to take care of them if I have my own child. So in that situation I don't see them once they've said that as wanting me and loving me as the person I am they're looking for someone who bring home a paycheck to take care of her and her kids. I would like to find someone to merge households with she would treat my daughter as if she was her own and I would treat her kids as if they're my own. But there is an amazing double standard where a woman wants you to accept her and her children but she won't accept the man with his child.

Your thoughts are everyone's thought as well, since merging life is not going to be easy as it was in the past. So future would be best of both worlds of being together and alone. World is moving more towards Companionship dating/ open relationships as career / jobs migration would not keep anyone bound to a place.

I would not be interested in a mom with young children since I do not want to have to raise them. Adult children are fine, I suppose. But do not ask me to babysit their kids, LOL!

I just want peace and quiet, LOL!

Maybe you can find a single father and have a Brady Bunch family. At least you would know he is fine with kids (at least one would hope).

In any event, search for a man to love, not just a man to help raise your children. If you only want the latter, hire a nanny!

Good luck!

I don't really mind it. I'm 32, so I've accepted that more likely than not my next gf will be a single mom and thats ok. I've dated single moms before, my ex was one. I totally get not wanting to raise someone elses kid but then again its not all about yourself. Life happens, theres no such thing as perfect

You asked, and why it will be hard for you

Nope, not for me no ways
Tried and helped raise five kids, all from single moms.
I was used financially
While holding down the Fort they went out and played

In all situations, I walked away even after years of trying they tried to ask me back.
Whats worse was hurting the kids emotionally after the break up.

Had one kid who saw and supported my sincere efforts to make things work tell his mom, "you f....d up !".

Being a full custodial parent raising a 18mo.-18yrs old child.
Aside from taking her to court for non-child support, she never kept in contact with child and was left to raise him on my own.

My frame of mind undertaking the hardest job I ever had.
I lived my life now its his turn (child).

So take the focus off yourself and think of your kid(s) and Mom First !

Most guys I've met just wants to sleep and dip with single mothers.
You've pretty much nailed it on the spot with the cuck comment, which is the ego of many men.

At the same time, most people don’t want to deal with having a baby daddy in the picture.
No one wants to build a bond with a child only to have zero rights after a breakup.
No one wants to step into parenthood on unequal terms, because the reality is, step-parents sometimes can do just as much, if not more, than biological parents, yet they’re still seen as the secondary parent. Whether that be decision making, rights to the child, or daily parenting.
On top of that, it’s not like adopting a child together, where any awkwardness or distance the child feels is typically toward both parents equally.

Also with dating apps especially, but in life in general, I'd worry about men approaching you not to be with you, but to be with your child. (yup, pedophiles)

You can find men that's willing AND mature enough for all of this, but it will be hard. If it makes you feel any better, dating apps are shit for all women, child or not. XDDD

Sorry to hear about your mom I take care of my dad who is in early stages of dementia

I'm generally alright with dating single mothers. Everyone needs love and the kids haven't done anything wrong to me so I can't judge them before I even know them.

So sorry to hear about your mom. That must be difficult for you.

I’ll date a single mom if she has it all together

Real men are not like that!

You need to message me back

Having to be in charge and responsible is against your female nature? 😂. Oh dear.

Dude, you hate single moms I see.
