Rumor has it that single mothers have more difficulty in the mating world, at least according to the ladies on here. Agree or disagree? Feel free to share any first hand experiences. I have not observed this trend elsewhere. Seems like single mothers in the general population (outside of CD relationships forum) don't have much trouble getting men. It's not a deal-breaker for me nor for any other men i know. So i am just wondering whether anyone has firsthand experience to either confirm or deny the idea that men pass by single mothers.

I think this topic has been beat to death.
First you must define single mother. My first DH passed away when our kids were young. I never had a problem dating. I had several marriage proposals and eventually remarried.

I know and have known a butt load of single parents that date and have remarried. It happens on a daily basis.

Apparently this has been discussed before and i didn't get the memo. Sorry!

Yea i agree, there are tons of hot single moms out there. I don't see the big problem. Likely if a single mom is having trouble finding someone, it has more to do with mediocre looks or a bad personality. I highly doubt that the majority men are going to pass by an attractive woman with a great personality just because she has a kid. But a few of the ladies here say otherwise.

Define single mom. A woman with kids that never married or a widow of a soldier? A marriage that just didn't work out or someone who doesn't know who the father is? I refuse to use the PC term single mother. That puts the widow of heroes in the same category as a *****.

Im talking to one right now actually. It really depends on where a man is in his life. Age is a big factor. I'm 21 so I'm not ready to get into something like that(we agreed to both just stay as friends) but if I was in say my late 20's early 30's, I would be serious about it.

Many don't have trouble finding a date. It's trying to find the "right one".

Yeah I was just going to say this. It's not really a problem of finding a date, it's a matter of finding a guy she can trust. Many guys think single moms are desperate, and will just use them for one thing, and most single moms know that, so she keeps her guard up. But yeah if she just wanted to find any ol date, especially if she is attractive, she wouldn't have any problems doing that.
