Well they do know how the equipment works.
But really, kids are like desert, best left in small doses and in a pinch, skipped all together. Im picky that way, which would explain why I am still single.
It doesnt however explain why every girl I meet is Kidded up, knocked up, breedin and shackled with babies. We all have our cross to bare.

Can't resist to add my opinion as well.

I wouldn't date a girl with kids at this point in my life.

Basically the short story is that raising kids is an enormous shock to one's life, due to the enormous responsibility. I'd like to spend substantial time falling in love with a girl before we both want to have kids and live happily forever ever after. With a single mom the kid pretty much comes in right away and disrupt the normal rhythm of things. Basically it forces me to be a sub-parent at an early stage.
I'm not ready for that, so you can call me an immature boy.

It takes an enormous amount of dedication to take care of your own kids, nevermind being a parent to another kid at an early stage, before you even bond with the mom.

My 2 cents.

es, most of us do.
I'm a single dad, and I know what it's like when you just can't find the right person who wants that type of person at that time in their lives. It's more of a timing thing.

Mature men are attracted to women that are grounded, and won't sway with the wind. They may seem like they crave the "party life", but at the end of the day, they love women that are responsible, care deeply for them, and have a strong base. Don't be worried, there's lots of great men looking for great women, no matter what you might have experienced in the past. Most men love children, it's just tough to adjust when they might not be their own.

The problem about guys is not that they don't like women with children, it's that they don't usually meet them when they are "out on the town."
It's probably harder these days to meet single people that would take on a single parent, and all the so-called "baggage", but with these sort of mediums, it's better than leading each other on for a long time, and getting hurt.
At least you can say what you're looking for, and not pull any punches, and hopefully lure out the good ones!
Hang in there! Good luck! :>

She obtained grant money, student loans, state aid, food stamps, federal assistance, anything she could think of, to make it through school and survive in the meantime. She would accept almost nothing from me because she wanted to do it all on her own.


Oh perfect, yet another bubbletard that believes taking every form of public money that countless thousands of people contributed to means they did it "all on their own".

Tell her to post a thank you note to the American taxpayer on at least one web site once she graduates.

your answer is no,no they don't and i shall tell you why,man's main animal instinct is to breed,to.multiply,to fill as much of the world with his own seed as possible,that is in reality why he exists,to constantly refill the world and he of course beleives that his own seed is best.a good example of this is often shown in documentaries involving lions.the lion try's to push out another male to breed,once he acheives this the cubs are immediately killed which bring's the female into heat and start breeding again,the lion has achieved his goal.you must understand however that man himself probably doen't realize these emotions which have been installed since he began to exist.apologies if this piece triggers unhappiness.

I have to agree completely! with carlykitten. But also remember dads arent looking for a new mom for their child/ren either they also need and looking for someone who care and loves them first... Also... you really need to know someone before you can use the word "love" in my book anyway... Some people are really nice at first but... 3 months later???? remember... the child/ren are affected too. Take your time... just a suggestion

Who cares if men don't!!!! Our children are far more important than any man could ever be. If he doesn't like the fact a woman has kids go find someone else... Hope he doesn't knock her up or she will be one of those women with kids. Some men are intimidated that children are smarter than they are and tend to stay away for them for fear their ignorance will show <--- total smart ass lol.

Exactly. That's honestly how it should be...

But is the very basic answer to the OP's question, too.

I wonder is your child a boy. Won't it be nice when one day he is dscarded after
a woamn decides that her child is far more important than he is. But as long as you got what you really wanted - the child and not the man.

NO. Understand? NO.

Why would any man (or any women for that matter) who could get a women without that baggage attached to her hips 24/7; accept someone with that baggage?

Single mothers are damaged goods. You would not buy a jar of produce with the top popped off at the supermarket would you? So why date a single mother? She had ANOTHER MANS KID. That alone should be enough to make you delete her emails. Any man who dates a single mother is a LOSER. Why would you want to always come second to another man's DNA? Women are the gatekeepers. They choose to have these kids with no fathers


even though i'm risking being "reported" by the moderators for a personal attack, there is something to be said here, and i cant believe its gone this long without being mentioned previously. Telekinetic, you are a pathetic, judgemental,****, twenty-something who thinks he knows something about the world. Grow up, get a life, and contribute something to the threads besides being an arrogant, ignorant creep. You might be over-compensating for a bad case of erectile dysfunction or small penis syndrome, or you might really just be an inexperienced know-it-all prick. I've come across alot of jerks in these threads, but none so comically self indulgant and projectile as you. I'm not dating a single mother, but i think probably most of them wouldnt piss on you if you were on fire. I wouldnt.

in addition, if your eyes werent so blinded by the moronic bullcrap you're trying to pass for intelligent debate, you might realize a simple fact. The real problem in America is the TWO parent families who are dysfunctional and abusive. There are alot of kids out there who would be alot better off WITHOUT one of their parents. I applaud the many single mothers/fathers who were smart enough to keep their children away from possible abuse. My one hope is that you never procreate

here is my whole take on this, if a guy is going to put up a wall bacause you have kids, isent worth you time. most men are ok with the fact that you have a child. i know i am more than fine dating someone who has kids...mostly because i myself have 2. but even if i dident have kids, i know it wouldent bother me. good luck, and im so sorry about what happened to you. god bless :)

Talk about starting off an innocent human life in this hard cold world with a winning lottery ticket and a good hand of cards. A single (usually low) income and no father. Oh yes! Thanks Mom!

Single mothers should be left on the shelf. I'm tired of this behavior being accepted by society. Look at the prison statistics. An estimated 90% of all male and female prisoners are the products of single motherhood. This behavior is a BLIGHT.

According to census figures in 1959 the single mother rate was 4%. The majority of whom constituted widows and divorcees. Today the single mother rate is 40%+. The bulk of which are unmarried women in their 20's.

And as long as society stands idle and "accepts" this behavior you can expect the out of wedlock single motherhood rate to keep growing.


You have an incredibly bleak idea of what a single mother "must" be.

I own two businesses, have not filed for child support or any other means of government help and at the time I got pregnant was planning to marry. I'm 24, have a 2 year old, don't chase after my ex, and consider myself top shelf goods. I certainly haven't and won't be lowering my standards just because I had a relationship with a man who is a manipulative liar and got pregnant, and chose to do the responsible thing and have this amazing child.

My mother was a single, divorced mother (my dad was incredibly abusive and a criminal, from a married, wealthy home) and you know what? I choose who I am. My mother being single and making barely enough money to keep the power on has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not I choose to commit a crime. That data is relative to the number of single mothers there now are.

Plenty of women today (who do not have children) have no respect for themselves, and do not expect it from men. In return, men do not have nearly the respect for women today that they did in years past.

As someone who boasts about the 50's and how women were married before they had children... does this mean you do not have sex outside of marriage? Women weren't single because if they were having premarital sex and got pregnant the parents forced them into marriage.

Not only was I a single mom from 1988 unitil they moved out at 18... I now have custody of my youngest daughters two children... I am still running into the whole baggage story... I lived it my whole life... my girls were 2 and 3 when I divorced... I raised them all on my own... no father in the picture...

Now, I am 45 and scared to death... still single... and two babies... are there really any good guy out there... I have 20 years of experience that says no...

All we want... is the love and respect we deserve... we don't need "mothers or fathers" for our children... we are looking for companionship.... someone to hold us, walk with us... smile with us... we can raise our own children... we just want someone to hold our hand while we do it...

Sorry about what happened first of all. I understand completely. My ex-husband was military too. As far as do men like single moms, it depends on finding the right one. I started dating an ex-boyfriend of mine (not together anymore). But he was gung-ho about my child. He wanted to be around to help me take care of her. But like you, I'm not looking for a handout. I had to let him go so I can work on standing on my own two feet. But yes, there are guys out there who will date single mothers.

well, you sound intelligent. As a matter of fact, women are the "gatekeepeers" as you say, but sometimes men slip past this gate in uniform. It takes two to make a child, so you can't blame just the mother for the child not having a father. My situation for example. I was married, we had our child, a beautiful little girl btw, who I wouldn't trade anything in the world for, and then he decided he had to be a whore. He slept around with 18 and 19 year old girls and on top of that, decided that I needed no freedom, I needed to be stuck at home all day with no way to go anywhere (with an infant/toddler in the home with me), that I didn't need a job, that I didn't need to speak to him unless spoken to, that I didn't need to speak to pretty much anybody. Now, is that mine or my daughter's fault. Things happen, don't be such an ass.

*SO, my final and most important comment. The one thing you, *UltimateHeartSurgeon*, should walk away from this knowing is that single mothers don't fit into any category. They are the ones who bothered to stick around, when no one else did. They happily do what many don't have the balls to do themselves. (As for me, I have a career, I take care of my three and half children, I own my home, and I paid for my car with cash. I watched my ex-husband go down in flames while he started drugs, became abusive, and bailed. He wanted to come back and I didn't let him. It doesn't make me a victim, it doesn't make my life bad. I AM LUCKY TO BE A MOM OF THREE AMAZING GIRLS.) I know many women like that, to be a mom, I'm talking about a real mom, not one that pops a tape into the VCR every few hours and feeds her kids McDonald's every day...it takes a really awesome woman and ANY MAN WOULD BE LUCKY TO DATE A GOOD SINGLE MOTHER.


Thank you Utah Woman, you said what we're all thinking.
