Sorry to hear about ur fella leaving u this way it must have been so hard to take 4 u? I think it really depends on what the guy is looking for, becoz sometimes guys don't mind single moms who have a child as long as they like each other thats the main thing i think.
But then on the other hand guys to get put off when a lass they like has a toddler, suddenly they think too much responsbility i duno i could be wrong.
Your nice looking i don't see why you should have a problem in finda a fella that likes you for what you are and got.
What kinda guy you looking for? Whos your type?

Not all guys are afraid of single moms. I would they are afraid of a single mom that want's someone to just help take care of their child because the father was not man enough to be a real dad. I know where you are coming from I am a single dad with a 3 year old and a 8 month old, and I'm the one that takes care of them. Try those boots on :)

i personally have found single moms are often a good catch.

reasoning for this is it often forces a girl to grow up and realise the priorities in life. u can often meet a 19yr old single mother who outstrips a 30yr old singleton :p

the benefit of this is u dont get as many games. they more often know what they do and dont want, and have no time to muck about.

yes to be honest it is harder dating a single mother, but i think the benefits outweigh anything else

as a 44 y.o. single guy; here's my take: when i was young and interested in chasing women around, i would have been a terrible dad. now that i'm older, and have my life in order; i regret never having kids. i was a good stepdad for a few years; but the two girls' father was destuctive. it was very difficult when they would spend a weekend at thier dad's, and come home sunday saying "our dad says we don't have to do what you tell us." when i was paying half the bills, i tended to dissagree! now i think i would welcome kids; as most women my age have them. my only wish is that thier bio. father is in prison or dead, so that he couldn't interfere and impose his will. so, YES guys like single moms.

I know from a past experience if you really like a woman it wont matter if she has kids.

Up until a couple years ago I didn't want to get involved with a single mom. I didn't want the time we spent to have to be worked around her kid(s) and I thought if I really liked her it would bother me that I wasn't the father. But a couple years ago I reconnected with a girl who I had a crush on in highschool and never really got over her and realized they come with the package. I ended up falling in love with her 4 year old daughter too and would have been honored to be her step-dad.

Unfortunately things didn't work out and we never did date and are no longer friends as of a couple weeks ago by her choice but I know now that kids come with the package sometimes and there's nothing wrong with dating a single mom if you really like her.

I wish that was the case with mine. She had no clue what she wanted and strung me along. I know that the majority of single moms know what they want but if I ever get in a situation like that again I'm walking away. It's not worth the stress and potential heartbreak if she chooses to not date you.

Great!! Many of best mates are unmarried mothers, and I passionately enjoy spending time with their children..

However,....

Quality Relationship Demands Quality Time, and with 3,4,5+ children is unlikely to be feasible...

It does change things. It is a different world dating and having children period. Some men will mind and some some wont. All ages have there own issues. I have a teen girl (17) who has plain old just not liked someone I was dating. She is just grouchy in a lot of areas right now and is not a help in the dating world for me. She is getting better now (thankfully!) I also have a 7 year old son that I just don't expose to my dating, unless it got to a point where I knew I was going to really date someone for awhile.

I have always liked single moms... if you like the girl than you have to accepted the whole package... I do not base how I feel about some one on if they have children or not...now as a single dad I like the fact that if a girl has childern then she understands that I am also a package deal...

Most women don't accept men with kids but after they have kids, they all of a sudden have a change of heart.

It depends on how secure teh woman is with herself and if her kids are undisciplined brats. There are a few single moms that I know; thier kids are so loving to each other well behaved & respect their Mom....so I really enjoy being around the kids.

Most guys don't want a ready made family & there are some men that can't have children that want a woman with children. I wouldn't give up & chances are if your X left you for a fling; she's not genuine & it won't last with them. Hang in there; you will get a new deck of cards. Keep being the good mom that you are putting your kids first, hang out with some gf's every now & again....go dancing & attend a few events....you will find him.

Wow, how horrible for you. Your man will torture himself later in life, when he realizes what he lost... and he will.

Guys fall into two categories; A. Those who percieve the child as a threat to the attention they revieve from you, and; B. The kind who will care for the mother because of the woman she is, and will treat the child like an extension of the woman he finds interest in.

Hello Beausmommy,

I want you to know, that as a recently single father (divorcing, 1st, and only) - yes, men are attracted to single moms - and I must admit that I share the same fear as you - however, I have received about 4-5 replies on POF than I thought, and the reaction to me having children (two boys); was surprising. So 1st, try to get that idea of men not wanting you out of your head - it is so NOT true - 2nd - no matter what you do, stay positive - when you send a message, stay positive - when you text, talk in person or on the phone, no matter what you talk about, good or bad, stay positive - make the other person know that regardless of any situation you encounter, (and sounds like you do) you always look at it from a positive perspective - you find the good in even the worst of predicaments. Now, I'm not a pefect father, I'm no psychologist, but after bieng married for nearly eight years, together for nice (seperated last four years) - I have learned a great deal about relationships, people and yet have more to learn - however I am a realist, passionate, but firm - understanding, but stand my ground in my beliefs, ways and convictions. Anyway...i"ve gone way off here, but please rest assure that YES - men actually LOVE single moms - 3rd...and last - any person - who can dedicate, committ their life to a child - if a man is looking for long-term (such as myself) - then that shows that she (most single moms, unless they specify otherwise) can and will dedicate herself and committ faithfully, and truthfully to him - regardless of what scenrio you have recently left from - be more confident - in my research in woman and relationships, woman like a man who is confident - well, we like woman who are confident - we like woman who are independant, but at the same time will allow the man provide for her if she chooses not to work, or be a stay at home mom or what have you - I understand completely your fear and concerns in this area - but as a single father, as a man - YES..most definitely men are attracted and even looking for a single mom - many if not most men would prefer a single mom whether you have one, five, six - kids - as do woman, we men want a mature, loving, and devoted woman...who better fits the profile than a mother?? Right? So...give it time, he's waiting right around the corner - but remember, smile always - stay positive - and share that with everyone you encounter. :-) I hope this has been helpful and not too boring..lol I just read your post and fealt compelled to respond...little longer than anticipated,but..no matter...have a great day!! :-)

From my perspective if you talk to guys that say they have a problem with it then they are not worth your time. If you ask me you may end up finding a better person since for one to accept that you do have a child in most cases I would assume that the man is much more mature and considerate than the one that would not give someone the light of day because of a child, but in some cases alos you will have what I like to call little immature boys that will think they can get involved for a quick "relation" then move on. You may have to keep your guard of for these type of "boys" as thier mentality is sometime since you have a child you put out. Which we all know most single mothers are not this way! I hope my post does not offend anyone but that is my take on the situation...

Even if a woman doesnt need my money to help pay for her child. the money she could have pooled with me so we could build a future together with our mutual kids is diminished.

someone elses child (for me) is a financial drain, and Unnecessary financial drain.

Take heart, Mama.

The right man for you will be the one who can respect you and your motherhood, loves kids, has no problem with yours....and celebrates the fact that with you, he gets instant family. Does he exist? Sure he does.

From a man's point of view - I don't think that what I just described is so very rare.
Single mothers tend to be a little more grownup and settled in the real world, sometimes. This will appeal to some men.
A good man will always respect that the number one issue you have is the welfare of your child. He will also like you more for it, and that you would never settle for anything less.

Whatever misconceptions or negative attitudes exist out there about single motherhood.....is really just a handy way for you to screen out the pretenders.

Of course it is possible for a man to bond with a child who is not biologically his own...I've done it myself. And it's not rocket science.

But maybe I should say here - what you need is a man - not a guy. Family responsibility is what it takes. You know it.
Stick to your guns, be patient, and wait for the man who loves your motherhood as much as he loves you.

Lol, is it possible to acknowledge that not wanting to be burdened with someone elses child is not ground to question their manhood?

Why is "real man" such a go to insult for EVERYTHING?

a real man will date a single mother

a real man will date a fat girl

a real man will etc etc
