Why do men find it so difficult to date single mothers? Posted: 7/4/2009 5:17:46 PM
If only I knew the answer ...although, I think there are some good responses. I am a single mother myself, divorced for five years. I have my children full time, their father is not involved. I am educated, love to go out and have a good time, enjoy my career, and would love to share my life with someone again. I do not shy away from men with children. I am still single. It takes a real man to stand up and get past his insecurities (if he has them) so that he can be alright with dating a single mom. It will work out with the right one at the right time. Just know that when it does, he will be the kind of man that you want to have as your partner and the male role model you want for your kids.

Internet Dating? Does it work? or is it all a crock of s**t? Posted: 11/29/2006 6:50:49 PM
Well, I'd have to say I think Internet dating works, especially for those of us that have a lack of places to really go and meet people. BUT, I have to say that in the three years (give or take) that I have been dating and using the online venue, I've not met ONE good guy that I've yet to actually date. I've met tons of users and players...so, I'm not exactly sure how to rate the success of dating via Internet.

Nice Guys Finish....FIRST!!! Posted: 7/24/2006 12:54:18 PM
Hey folks....I'd like to think that a 'nice guy' would finish first with me. But, unfortunately, I have YET to meet one. I've been abused in past relationships, and I'm stronger for it. But, you can count on the fact that it is FAR from what I am looking for. People are either going to like you or not, and it's their problem not yours. And for all these people that say its the inside that counts...I'd like to believe that they truely feel that way. But, from what I have seen its not true. I've not been beaten by the ugly tree (at least I don't think so), I'm loving and compassionate, fun to be around, and SINGLE. I'm not a small girl, but I'm not grossly overweight either. Seems to me that guys close to my age are still stuck on that skinny girl thing...must-have-anorexic-girl syndrome. There is nothing with being skinny, just as there is nothing wrong with being volumptous. OH, and I have kids. So lets see...guys, would you date a curvy single mom of two who works her ass off to take care of her kids? Oh yeah, and who is Christian and doesn't believe in sex outside of marriage? I'd like to hear from y'all either way...it would be interesting to know how you all feel....

Mini skirts, low riding jeans, .........and cleavage Posted: 5/5/2006 4:50:41 PM
Alright folks...The way I figure it is that sexy is different on each of us. I haven't figured out exactly what is 'sexy' on me, but I know what's comfortable. I know what I like to wear, and I figure that my confidence and self esteem are sexy enough. I'm a sweats, jeans, t-shirt, hoodie girl. I like my flip flops and painted toenails. I put my red hair up on top of my head and wear ten tiny earrings in my ears. I dress up my eyes with a little eyeliner and mascara, and smile at everyone I make eye contact with. If guys don't like it, that's ok. If a guy's too intimidated to approach me, that's ok. I want a man that is confident enough in himself to approach me first; and in how he treats his lady, that he would have no problem with me going out in something sexy b/c he KNOWS there is nothing to worry about. But you know...I wouldn't go out without him dressed that way. I would dress in a manner that I was comfortable in what I had on, and that I KNEW I was accentuating the features that he found attractive about me when we did head out on the town....Now, to find a man that isn't obsessed with finding a Barbie doll....HA!
