well theres questions would be like they get knocked up by bad guys they fall pregenet the bad guys leaves which makes her a single mum and when there is kids involved the kids always have to come first which leaves the good guy last and if she not open in future of having more kids its a deal breaker and a red flag the good guy comes last in there books in thats a opion then they expect a good guy theway they are then what about good guys paying child support for kids that arent even his thats a deal :modhammer: you can wonder why guys run from them they should put all single mothers and fathers on a ship and send them all off to an island becaue single mum and single dads belong together im open to dating a single mum with one child if shes open to having more kids in future i will expect thatbut if shes got 5 or even 6 kids thats a while you can

Put all single mother and fathers on a ship and send them all off to an island.

That's a novel idea. NOT! (Unless it's warm all year round...which island were you thinking of? ) *shakes head* never mind........getting back to your post "not having more kids" might be a dealbreaker for you bigben, but it's not for many men. Some single fathers for instance, are finished having children, and have no desire to produce more......

Now Jimmy Buffet can write a song about Single mothers wastin away in Margaritaville,,,,,

All of those Single mothers covered with oil,
Strumming my six string, on my front porch swing,
Smell those shrimp, they're beginning to boil.
Wasting away again in single mother ville, looking for my lost dam birth control pill
,,,,,,,some people say there might be a baby daddy to blame,,,,,,but i know!!!!!!!!!,,,,,,,,,,its all those evil womens fault.

Ah ben...how is not wanting more children that different from meeting someone who doesn't have and doesn't want any children...folks do exist like that but there are no threads on POF pointing out to them the "problem" with them. Yeah, I get it, we single parents are a big target. Some folks won't date people because of the colour of their hair...it is called preference and I as a single parent have no problem with someone exercising their preference. I do think it was rather less than classy to make the suggestion you did tho.... and I want an apology...





just kidding...don't need your apology at all....I love my life

Oh my Ben....IF you read my profile you would see line 1 indicates I have children! I talk about my kids...I don't pretend they don't exist but here is an idea...you don't have to date me....how's that? Can you live with that? I know I can....cause you are not my type anyway.

I don't get child support from anyone who is not the biological father of my child....and I actually agree that the laws in Canada around that are ridiculous but you just go right ahead and lump me into a pocket if it makes you feel better.

You are quite welcome to join the Single Mum haters club....I hear the membership to join is free...all you have to do to be a member is make sweeping generalizations about single mothers and be paranoid, both of which you seem qualified in my opinion.

I agree with Kelly-1989 message 371
Those are part of the problems that i, my friends, relatives and co workers have experienced when it came to dating a single parent.

*Some single parents do not want to have another kid (i want kid(s) someday)
*It's hard to getting to know them when it's hard just talking on the phone
*Sometimes the ex will try to come in between you with threats to you or her
*Sometimes single parents tend to go back to the ex for the sake of the kids
*And if the ex is constantly around that would suck (uncomfortable and awkward)
* Extra expenses if you two decide to get married (Money may be tight for the family)
*Unfortunately, some will try to trap you (intentionally get pregnant-happened to both of my brothers and some of my friends)
*Unfortunately, some will use you for your money then break up with you


In my case, most of the women that i have dated in the last 3 years have had kids but i am wanting kids someday and that is less likely to happen in a already made family. And there is a lot that factors in when it comes to dating a single parent such as the ones Kelly-1989 listed in message 371 and mine as well, it's a huge responsibilty for both parties

My older brother went through a terrible divorce 7 years back and pays $500 a month and see his daughter 3 times a week. And his ex is constantly declaring their daughter every year on there tax return instead of every other year like she suppose to do just to screw him every year. And 4 years ago he met someone that he really liked who he went out with for about 7 or 8 months helped paid her rent a few months and then when she got on her feet financially she left him.
My oldest brother stays with his wife for the sake of the kids but he isn't happy but he doesn't want to have two failed marriages with two child supports going to two different women.

~My heart goes out to single mothers looking for love. I can't completely understand how it must feel, of course, but having been raised by a single mother, I can conceive how difficult and lonely it must be to be in that situation. I know there are a lot of single mothers who would make a great catch!~

Holy!!!!!!!!!!! What a pathetic and dramatic thing to say. Single mothers are one of the worst to try and date. They never want to leave their comfort zone and for no reason whatsoever, are protective about their kids. They create more drama than anyone else open to dating online. I have absolutely no pity whatsoever for single moms.

fun tall, I guess it's a good thing that no one was asking for your "pity"

I think it's even more ludicrous that you find it silly that parents might be protective of their children. Obviously you don't have any.

whoa. that's harsh and very narrow minded.

parents (mothers or fathers) are protective of their kids. so what? better that they're (we're) NOT protective? do you have car alarm? how about a lock for your front door? why? being protective?

and comfort zone? what's wrong with ANYONE having a comfort zone? as someone pointed out before, it's all about picking out/being choosy. that's why we write up a profile and set limits/preferences.

you might not have pity for single moms (parents) but i do pity you.

Why the h*** do we need anyone's pity? We don't have a terminal disease, just another title after our name.

Dating a single mom can be a compromise of sorts, but it is all about perspective. If you see it as drama and baggage, then yep, that is what it is. So, just avoid them like the plague. I promise they won't miss you.

Well thats good, i dont pity myself either for having kids.
I love having my little family, and rather than pity myself i am proud of myself for providing a good home and good life to my kids.
Even when my heart shattered to pieces after my love died i still take good care of those babies, and rather than pity i get many accolades from the people that mean the most, family and friends, and have a strong emotional support network consisting of my family, my spouses family, and my dear friends.
who needs your pity dude?

Arr single mums are gr8.. its all in the way you see the situation. Single mums dont generaly think thay will be single in the future when thay are having a child.. its just the way it worked out. thats life.

I admire what single mums do....

I love kids and would love my own Brady Bunch lol.....

If a man can't love me and accept me for who I am then his loss. But I will say that the dating pool opens up for me when I look towards men that already has kids.

Single guys without kids may be a great catch, but not for me. Not that Ive met anyway.

[Single mothers are one of the worst to try and date. They never want to leave their comfort zone and for no reason whatsoever, are protective about their kids.]

That has got to be one of the most self center'd coments I have read yet. If you havent lived the life of a single parent you have no idea what your talking about. Good single mothers are strong survivors. First off, anyone should be able to see if a woman is talking good care of her kids and doing it alone it shows she is responsible and puts others before herself which is a trait that seems to be harder to find these days in men or women. After living this life myself I know how hard it can be at times but I can assure you it's all worth it and I'm sure these ladies will tell you the same.

And......as far as being "protective about their kid's".....that's what responsible parents do. If your a single parent most likely your child has been hurt by a divorce or loosing a parent. That makes you very picky to who you want to bring in your childs life. I think we all want our children to grow up with happy memories and dont want them to remember the few @ssholes that misstreated them or their parent. Being a protective parent is a normal thing for anyone or anything. Go try to play with a bear cub when its mother is around and see what you get.........about the same thing you would get if you tried messing with my child.lol

Now as far as you ladies going on that island..........Can me and my daughter join ya??lol
