Unpopular, but I couldn't consider dating a single mother

I know, I'm evil, even the government says I'm evil for not footing the bill, but there is logic in my reasoning. I want a kid of my own some day, which is fine, but once I do, I would almost certainly spend most of my time and attention on my child rather than hers, which wouldn't be fair to her child. So I guess being the bad guy in this choice ain't too bad if I save a kid from having a neglectful stepfather.

Why am I thinking about this? Well I like to cook, which means I know what to get at grocery stores, and I'm at that age where a grocery store is prime dating real estate.

Nothing wrong with that. It's your preference.

@CrazyMusicLover my goodness the PMs I got. Some people just can't accept things outside of their own preferences.

@thenormalkindofcrazy I believe that if people were honest about their preferences right off the bat, there would be much less relationship BS and drama going on. I don't get what do your preferences has to do with them. They take it too personally.

@CrazyMusicLover You aren't wrong. But then again, the loudest voices to like to pretend that they are the most righteous and correct in this world.

Is your preference, I can understand that. I like your honesty. You've made a wise decision, given you feel the way you do.

I've dated several women both with and without children. I didn't mind it at all, but I have always liked children and usually bond with them easily. Also, accepting and bonding their children usually is a big plus factor as it proves you really care about her and her children. But as always, it's different strokes for different folks.
I would advise, if you date a woman with younger children, don't start bonding with them unless you plan to stick around or else when you break up with her, you hurt the children too.
Genuine relationships depend on socialism and a functioning welfare system. Nobody thinks women can be honest in this. Socialist people like me have always understood that this lack of government support for people means that art is bad and relationships are fake.
We know that Americans chose to exploit instead of loving. We lost to the powerful cool kids who own us all.

I remember my father took his own life when I was four and I kind of asked my mother once why she never remarried and her answer was "Nobody wants to marry instant family"

And I see that because true as a male I would have wanted to marry a woman who can provide me with children and not raise someone else's children.

So no you're not wrong however if let's say the child she had was say under 3 years of age then I would consider marriage if she is still able to have children. That way you can always view the children as all of yours and not just "well all except one"

And really personally a church or volunteer position is prime dating area most of the grocery stores have 30-year-old mothers with two or three kids and they're shopping with their daughters so you're kind of out of luck there unless of course you're trying to hit on the daughter you pervert! 😁😁

There is nothing wrong with know what you want and acting according. But just think of this if you could give a child a father figure would you not want to try, The word dad is not just a word it comes with a lot of responsability both good and bad mostly good but the bad brings you to the good. You do not have to be the bio dad to be a dad the fact you are their carries weight you are not trying to replace there dad you are giving them a second dad which most people do not have one dad. Just think what you could do for one child and their future. If there is no Bio dad in the picture well you could be that dad.

The best you can give your child except loving parents is a sibling. The more the merrier. The kids don't care about who's blood related.
its cool, there are plenty of other dudes who will take care of the hot single moms for you. LOL

You are not Dad material sorry about that! Go out to the local dog shelter and adopt a nice dog that you can feed and water and then forget and build a bond with that dog you will never build anything with a child.

It is your prerogative. I don't find it wrong if you're just being honest and true to yourself to not bring anyone dismay. I find it smart actually.
Best that since you know this you make no exceptions. Too many "evil step-parent" stories out there.

@bijouxbroussard I just couldn't guarantee I'd treat them the same, couldn't do that. Not fair to them, and like you said, at least I recognize it.
