Give your reason why you think men are missing out if they choose not to date single woman with kids.

Though I have no experience I would differ with most of the posts here. In my opinion, single moms would be the best!!!!

When a women has kids, there is something about them about their innerself that is better, in that, have you seen the beauty in a women when she holds her kids when they get home from school, or when they get hurt. Have you seen the beauty when they give the kids a bubble bath, or help them out with a school project, or get them dressed for halloween.

There is nothing more attractive than seeing a women take care of her kids, because the better she takes care of the kids, then you know that she will take care of you just as good.

Cause face it, Guys are nothing more than adult kids at heart. :)

ALL SINGLE MOMS WATCH OUT dennis_i_am IS CRAZY!!!!

I think dennis_i_am was never loved by his mother and is trying to make up for it now.

On the other hand dating most single moms is great if all they want is s3x.
I am sorry to say to all single moms out there but no man wants the bullsh*thaving another man always being part of the relationship (picking up the kids and all the other crap)
plus if a man does stick with a single mom one day he will get kicked in the balls by the kids when they say "your not my daddy you can't telll me what to do".

Dennis isn't crazy... he's got something you don't have... RESPECT. I think it's perfectly fine for a man to choose not to date single moms but good grief - show a little respect for them. Single moms (and single dads) are the hardest working people out there. Why does another man always have to be a part of the relationship? My son's father doesn't interfere in my personal business and I don't in his.... whoever you dated that gave you that experience must have had no control to begin with.... AND that is only confirmed by your very last statement that the man will "get kicked in the balls by the kid when they say your not my daddy you can't tell me what to do"........ absolutely no sign of respect ever being taught to the child.... or possibly it's no respect ever shown to the child (from the man, father or the mother).

Anyways - I respect a man's decision to not date single moms (and I am one) but I'm very thankful there are a few "Dennis's" out there who can see the hard work, determination and love that we single mom's have.

i have tried to date some single moms. i have a job, 3 bisunesses,and a very"stabil" life.
all i hear from girls is how they want these guys who have no job, stay high all the time,are basically bums,and will live on welfare the rest of thier lives.
this is the type of guy most girls i talk to seem to want.
i honestly think they dont care about who they date.
i have spent most of my adult life getting shot at by iraqis,and i come home to a country full of girls,and women,who tell me im"just not what they are looking for"
im not patrick swayzee,i know, but most of you gals have made me wish i hadnt made it back home.
im just not good looking,nor rich enuff,nor do i do dope.
im just such a looser, i should have died and saved you gals the bother.

I don't think you would have to worry about it being the kids kicking you in the balls.


If you think that it's ok to kick a guy in the balls because he said something you don't like, I wonder what do you think a guy should do if he doesn't like what a woman says.

Men aren't missing out on anything at all. One man already left, even though he had a biological attachment to the children. What can a new guy possibly gain that the old guy never seemed to get? It's just a bunch of lost women if you ask me.

Well, I was with a single mom once all I got out of it was 2 kids and me paying 4500 a month in child support and her useing me for kids so her & her old b/f could have a family cause he couldn't have kids.


See I am stuck with a delima, If i choose to go back Home people say I will be just like every other man and leaving my kids how can I do thaat & live myself people say. When these people don't have to go thru what I do every month. And yes woman in the usa are so money hungrey it's not funny. Even the fat nasty ones think they deserve the best looking guy but they have nothing to offer him but 5 kids a a big belly.


So I guess my real question is Should I stay and keep putting up with this crap going to school here or go back Home where My goverment & family can force the Usa to give me the rights to my kids. True It my rip there world a aprt for a while but I don't think I can stand it much longer when i here my son say your not my dady my daddy at home. Plus if I go back home I get out of paying 4500 a month in child support.

you're a student and required to pay $4500.00 / month?

I am curious, what part time job can I get that pays $1,000,000 per year?

(unless its rupiah, or some other form of currency?)

I know that as being a single mom it helps me to weed out the men from the boys. Dating me you need to show me that you don't always need to come first, that other people's needs are important, and maybe your friends will have to come second or third. In that breath I know that dating somebody they are willing to do all of this and to this. And I can say that I am still friends with my ex's (even the hubby) because we both have both matured to have a relationship and not just a sex fest. And guys if you are not ready to date single mothers then don't you don't need to slam every other single mom out there pointing out all of our faults because it just makes you look REALLY bad. (little hint)..

I will duck in here... make a comment or two and the, I am bailing... we convered most of this in two other threads...

What are they missing? - Possibly a fine lady, and a wonderful life, same as they would if they refuse to date redheads, or gals over 6 foot or under five or ones with blue eyes or geminis.... THey are missing a chance...

As for the Balls comment - My Ex had two children, we were together 20 years, not ONCE in all that time did either of them say anything even close to that. THey STILL consider me Dad.

Child support - You know... I really like canada... but, that rule y'all have is odd... TO my knowledge, nothing similar exists in the states... except via adoption where they become legally yours... I could be wrong... and frankly, wouldn't worry about it anyway... I would say that even there you would have to be involved more than a few months... but I don't know...

As for the whole mommy issue... supposedly our instincts are suppose to guide us to pick mates that will a)produce healthy offspring and b)be good mothers and c) be compatible mates... I think in that order... What would trigger that instinct more than a mother that is obviously loving and capable? If she has been on her own more that a year or two, and has reasonable well adjusted kids... I would say that she is definately material based on the instinct criteria.... just a thought....

As I said before, I like single moms, kids are fun... I have never had an issue with them... oh well... just me

Now I will quietly duck out again...

I think it depends on the person, some people like being around children, some don't. I really don't think it's a question of whether or not they are missing out, and I've noticed some of the responses here were quite rude.

How can anyone in there right mind say anything negative about this post. If more men had the guts to say this and felt this way, more children in this world would have excellent role models. If a man dates a women with children and she is good with them, then you better believe she would be a good mother to any kids born to the new relationship.
