Women with children generally have no goals or vision for what they want out of life and end up living a poor, or at best, mediocre lifestyle.


Wow!!! I just learn something new about myself.
How can anyone have the guts to write THIS!!!!

Thats a very big generalisation your making there.
Not all single parent have no ambition or goals. I have to set myself goals all the time as i keep reaching them, and then decide whats next to do in life.

OMgosh, I almost spit out my water!

I wonder if the poster has attended one of my "Goal Setting for Professionals" workshops? (Probably not, because as a "woman with children" I probably have no goals myself. ;) lol..

you had the same reaction i did, as far as the moms on poverty you do what you have to for your child sometimes you must swallow that lump in your throat whats it called oh yea...PRIDE and get over it, and no i dont have alot of money but gee to me money isnt everything and id rather my children not to grow up materialistic as my mom did for me, my children are content playing in a mudhole more so than what new movie or game system is out or something else expensive, i found the person who posted that awful statement, a very rude and heartless person you do not know our circumstances do not judge us on first glance, as for all the other single moms and dads out there we know ultimately whats best for our children and we know they all always come first no matter what

Dude,
The state I live in, is the mecca of single chicks with kids. The problem is that they have like 3 or 4 of them, from 2 or 3 different fathers.
Women with kids are not different than Fathers without their kids. It takes a special person to understand and appreciate the work and dedication it takes to raise, or support a kid in today's environment.
No, I would not pass up the opportunity to date a woman with kids. However, If I did not have kids and met a woman with kids..that would depend on several factors:
1. How many kids
2. Is there a Father figure in their lives
A. Support
3. Where do I/we see this going.

If she is a MILF..well then.......

i recently dated a woman with a child

i have to admit, she was great, and sometimes i wished she never had a child cuz we would have made a great couple but im the type that was raise old fashion
husband wife and there children, its was hard for me to accept a kid who wasnt mine and that the constant interaction with the child family (i know it sounds selfish but if u had your own kids this wouldnt be happening)
the constant restriction

supporting & raising someone else child

i guess, im the typical man but i have to say to date a woman with kids its absolutely hard and difficult and i could only imagine how hard it is for them
i do feel sorry but i cant because in life u make decisions and u have to live with it

thats all

Don't worry, you are not alone. Many men find these same issues with dating single moms.

I also was raised by my mother alone and i have three younger sisters. When i am looking at profiles i do note if they have children, and that gives them an extra "point" in my book. I enjoy being a dad and providing for a family. It makes me feel like my sweat and labor are worth something special. I have always attracted younger women in my life, they have almost always been mothers, and usually one of the deciding factors in my decion making process is their motherhood. The other deciding factors are beauty and personality. So the answer to your question is no - i don't pass up a woman because she has children.

I'm a single mom who is educated works hard with a daughter on a full ride academic scholorship and a perfect 4.0. I have worked all my life but have not dated until my daughter became an adult. I realize I'm an exception to the rule but times are changing. I married with my second child and did better when he left. Men I believe are intimidated by single moms who are independent.

Why would they be intimidated by that? Do you think men would prefer them to be dependent?

There are three types of men without kids that would consider dating a single mother.
A) The guys that are just looking for sex and will only continue a long term relationship with the mom until she gets pissed about all the other girls he's banging.
B) losers
C) pedophiles. Any man without kids that says he finds women with kids more attractive is 100% guaranteed to be a pedophile.

You'll come across a lot of category A men out on the street and in the bars, whereas there's an abundance of category B&C men on POF.
