some of the posters reallly need to learn skills such as reading comprehension. One person reads something the OP wrote out of context and then others blindly jump in based on what that person says, its insane. Its like an online lynch mob! She said she was AGAINST the scale multiple times, YET there are posters that keep harping on about it. And the accusations that she has a princess attitude, where is that coming from? If anything the lynchmob are acting like princesses.
And based on other posts I have read from these posters, they cannot get girls so in their skewed logic ALL Women are at fault for this lack of success, heaven forbid it's their own fault.
haha - I think I've mentioned this a few times already

I agree! All these "happy" 35-40yr old never married guys who would have us believe women are banging down their doors but they have been lucky enough to escape the trap! Really then why so bitter??
I am obsessed with pretty much all other portions of city-data.com, so how I never migrated into the relationships forum before is beyond me.
I'm a recently single mother (2 yr old twin boys). I was with their father for 4 years and after YEARS of wanting to leave, I finally got the courage. I was having high expectations of hopefully one day finding someone who would love and respect me. That was until I came across all of the topics on single moms in this forum. People have some pretty nasty things to say about single moms.
One thing in particular that depressed me was a kid who said that single moms had to lower their standards because they were desperate. So a 10 woman, who would normally date 10s, would be left to date 6s if she were a mom. Brutal. And then the whole stereotype of single moms looking for a replacement father/financial support. Is that REALLY what men think about single mothers?
Am I, a 26 year old, college educated, successful, hard working, attractive woman, destined to lower my standards and get stereotyped continuously just because I am a single mother?
Some of these guys in here are losers and couldn't get a date if their life depended on it so don't come in to this forum thinking that their opinions are the opinions of most men. Usually someone that has it together and has the same interests as you will be someone that will not care that you have 2 kids. There's alot of guys on here that will tell you that you don't have to lower your standards to have a man attracted to you.
I was stunned at some of the insensitive things that some of the men on this forum say when I first came on here but you will find that mostly it is the same men that say the most cruelest things and then wonder why they can't get a date and it must be the women.
You'll find someone that is educated, successful and hardworking that would love you and your kids so hang in there.
I agree, I do not believe for a second these guys are really succesful with women like they would like us to believe. Guys that are getting girls generally do not have the resentment these guys do, they are too busy having fun.
My original point in this thread is the poster shouldnt lower her standards. People can want what they want, you cannot force someone to want something they don't. But it does not mean they will get what they want, so expections will have to be lowered, patience increased. The OP whether she likes to realize or not has to dip into a smaller pool now that she has children, is it right or wrong? No its just the way it is.
Perhaps the lowering of expections is something the angry men should probably practice as well.

Some of these men aren't a loser and have a gal who really likes them for a change! Now I've said my peace and promised to back off. Men don't like to labeled as losers. Especially from women who don't meet certain qualifications.

I think most of these guys standards would
just require a pulse!
agreed, some of the posters have taken their 'rant' too far and it reeks of resentment.
Not only resentment but bitterness and it's usually the same people over and over again. It's very sad that someone can't come in here and not be dealt with harshly but with compassion.
I know I come off sometimes verbally abusive to some that say the same cruel, heartless things over and over again. I have to learn to turn the other way and bite my tongue but it's hard when you see someone that is hurting and is looking for someone to listen and give them honest, good advice and then have someone that is so heartless, cold and cruel to say something to make them feel even worse about the situation and themselves.
There is a lot of mud being thrown around. I'm going to turn the hose on the lot of you.
