American men, why do you guys lower your standards by dating single moms? Because of the Kid or Kids you will NEVER be number #1 in her life so why even put in the time and money to date a single mother, i see this as a sign of weakness, why take care of somebody else Kids??
Dating single moms - a good or bad idea? I would like to hear from those men out there who have had (or currently have) experience dating single moms. Is it a good idea to date them? What are the challenges you've faced (besides the obvious - kids coming first etc.)? Would you rather be dating someone without kids? and have you experienced the short end of the stick when their kids are stressing them out? Discuss.
Men, how do you feel about dating single moms? I am 21 and newly single, just got out of a marriage. and have a 10 month old son. i am a little scared about entering the dating life.. but was wondering what guys feel about dating women who are single parents?
Dating single moms? I have a very diverse group of friends and we had a conversation about dating a women with a child, or one that is pregnant. All the white guys said they would never date a woman with a child, while all the black men said they have no problem with it. They claimed that alot of white women with kids turn to dating black men because the white men will not give a single mother the chance. I know this is a stereotype, but can any single moms or males comment on this idea?
Dating single moms? Is it even viable? I am 34 years old guy without kids. I find that every woman (literally) i meet has children. I have gotten used to it to a degree. But the problems always seem so similiar. 1) She wants me to help discipline the child. Any guy dating a single mom knows that his authority over the child pretty much stems from her. If the child runs over her, he tends to avoid bothering disciplining the child himself. This is ESPECIALLY true if the child has reached the age of 10+ years or older. 2) The relationship imbalance. The child by necessity always comes first for the mom. I am pretty sure this is as it should be. But now your asking a guy to put you first, when you cannot put him first. This will lead to angst. 3) What if it doesnt work out? Now you will have to break up with the mom AND the child. This is a tough thing to do. I have dated a few women were i really loved and adored the child. But i couldnt bear the mom! I am at wits end. I should just give up on single moms? I wanna state for the record that i am NOT one of them clingy 24/7 kinda guys. Hell, getting me to call is not that easy :P But, i mean by imbalanced relationship for example. Everything you wanna do the child has to be factored in all the time. me: Hey lets go to the show her: great we can take timmy to see happy feet. me: lets go out to dinner her: sure, lets take timmy to red lobster he loves it there me: lets go on vacation her: can we get a suite so timmy can come me: imma go play paintball this weekend. her: can you take timmy with you? me: imma just stay home and watch tv. her: can me and timmy come over? Do you have any dvds he can watch? me: I gotta get up early her: WHAT? i got a sitter, we HAVE to go out to the bar tonight! (note this is a compilation, that i put up for ease of understanding) Do you see what i mean by imbalance? There has to be a give and take. But in the end, you HAVE to be willing to give so much and the resentment can build quickly. Perhaps i am selfish. I dont THINK so, I try to be reasonable. But in the end of the day, i am old enough to know what will happen in the end, without having to live thru it again. Wow Matts'wife. Either your stalking me (which is viable as i am rather good looking) OR matts not getting it done (else why would you be in the singles dating area) In either event, dont sound so bitter, its unbecoming.

Dating "single moms" & MONEY??? Now single myself, but with mine being "newly grown," I am pretty much on my own. Simply curious here.... I continue to see all these women posting questions about how men feel about dating single moms. I see all the usual responses. The one I don't understand is this; "I don't want to spend my money raising anybody elses kid?" Hello, guys? That is why the father pays child support. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY..I always made more than enough money to pay for every single thing my own kid ever had! His step-father never, ever, paid one dime towards my kid. Even way back when we dated, if we went out for dinner, I paid for my own kids meal. Nothing changed when we married. My point? Women make money too. Hello? Sometimes, even a lot! We don't need yours. If you would all just stop thinking that is what we "need" or want from you. Or worse..that we are "plotting" to get yours. Settle down a bit guys! "voice of"-step-parenting Is tough. Guess what? Raising any kid is tough! I would not date a man with a child, unless they were out of the house. So I DO understand. I have seen it work. It worked for me. But it is not easy ! I am not familiar with any law that makes a step-father responsible financially for a step child? "kitten owner"? -Your glowing ignorance shines brightly! First, you may be shocked; I am NOT a feminist. The women may be disapointed in me. (sorry gals) But you can get off that BS! re: the minister's wife...what the hell has that got to do with my ? You are a real classic. You seem awfully sensitive about money! And PLEASE , why torture some foreign woman with your ignorance. Sounds to me like you are looking for someone to abuse. However, we are all for YOU saving your tips and going to a foreign country! Stay there. You and your little "Kitten!" We women here like REAL MEN!!!!!! Your answer had nothing to do with my question! But said a lot about YOU!
Single moms, which is a better dating prospect? A man with no kids who is a couple years younger than you and has never been married or a slightly older divorcee with one child? Assuming they are both nice people.

SINGLE MOMS: divorced mom of two needs dating advice!? i have been divorced from my abusive and irresponsible ex-husband for 8 months now and have adjusted to being the only provider and parent of my two great girls. i have graduated college and started my new career, decorated my new apartment and had a wonderful makeover. i'm doing well, except... i am now ready to date again. i have no clue as to how to go about meeting men to date, or telling men gently that i have two children that mean the world to me. i don't want to date a man who has children, just a personal preference i have. is it worth looking for a decent guy who is willing to date a single mom? or will i be wasting my time? any advice to give me? a couple of people have put me down because i would rather date a man with no children. i choose that because i want to date casually for the time being, and if a man has kids that i become attached to, it will make it that much harder to stop seeing him. it's one of those variables i would rather do without. but if a good guy comes along and has children, i am not going to opposed to dating him. my ideal situation is to date a childless man casually as to ease myself back into the dating pool. but who knows? my dream guy may have 10 kids, and i have no problem with that. but to date casually, i would rather a man with no children.

For the men, what do you think about dating single moms? A friend of mine says that he never dates single mothers because inevitably, the father of her children is always somewhere in the picture and that it just adds too much tension & headache. He also said that he didn't like the idea of faithfully trying to help raise another man's child to then one day be faced with that same child saying, "You can't tell me what to do! You're not my father!" His feeling was that you are getting someone's leftovers, and that you will constantly have to live with that reminder. In my experience, most single moms I have dated/known seem to have unresolved relationships/breakups with their child's father. Or they on some level secretly desire a reunion with that man. And in many cases, if that man decides to try to get her back, he will most likely succeed, leaving any rival love interests with the short end of the stick. Am I wrong? Is this a one sided way of seeing thing's? I know they are single parents who make new relationship's work.

Single MOM, Guys Advice on Dating Single moms? I have a son who is 4 months old. Do guys even like to date girls with kids or is it too much baggage?
Single Moms Dating Issues :S? Okay so heres my story. I have a 2 year old little boy, and I am a single Mom. I have been single for over a year now and I think I am ready to start dating. Although I have been on dates here and there, I usually stopped calling the guy because I was scared to get serious. I dont know if I dont want a serious relationship, or I am just scared to be treated and walked on like my babys father did. So theres this really great guy. Im 23, hes 24 and I have known him since I was, I dont know, around 10 yrs old, I guess. Hes very sweet, and handsome, and a hard worker.. but his work involves long haul truck driving all across the USA. I really like him, and I know he really likes me. I feel he could potentially be someone I would want to get serious with but it sucks because he is only home for 2-3 days every other week!!! He has a daughter too, who he needs to spend time with, so I would probably only see him for one of the nights he was home. Umm.... HELP?!?!?!

I understand that everyone is different and that there's no right answer, just looking for peoples experiences
