I have a super gorgeous friend who is childless and she would never date a man with a child and prefers men who only date women who are childless. Those guys who are bashing single moms? - she would love them. So there is someone for everyone!
I had to read through the entire thread to to see who.
Well, tbh, I knew long ago that particular poster would end up dating a single mom
There's a lot of flexing done on here. Some guys talk a lot of hard ****, but its really a front to hide their insecurities. That includes myself, Lol. Oh yes, I have insecurities like everyone else.
Absolutely no offense is meant by this post however we are discussing pure probability and not discussing whether it is right or wrong for OP to avoid single mothers, rather how he could hypothetically do so strategically:
Almost 50% of Mothers in America today are single mothers. This is based on the widely known 4 in 10 children stat not having a Father around at birth an adding in recent trends from the Census. When you are dating beyond a certain age it's increasingly inevitable the Woman will have children. Given 50% of Mothers are single mothers, There is a 50% chance of the Woman you are dating (varies widely depending on Geo) is a single mother.
If you're dating age 35 and up in NYC - That may go down to 25%
35 and up in Tennessee - Probably about 75% chance.
So the most important things are the following:
- Geo is important.
- Age is important. (The older she is the more likely she has kids)
- Where you meet them is important. Community college library or upscale hotel bar?
If you want to avoid single mothers, you'll need to adjust where you are fishing. Do not use online dating - Because there's an even higher concentration there.
Think about this scientifically and go back and retrace the steps where you met the most single mothers in your locale. Avoid those places and do the complete opposite.
In general when I was dating I found these were the best places to screen out single mothers:
- "Sport" activity groups like tough mudder typically have very low percentage.
- Craft Beer and speciality liquor tasting events (wine tasting will be a toss up, I wouldn't bother with that one)
- Business networking events
- Foreign language learning groups
Typically single mothers will not have time or energy to dedicate to interest groups or what I like to call "decadence" groups. AKA groups that don't necessarily have an immediate ROI. And generally they don't have time to keep in shape. So physical activity groups will be #1 such as a Tennis club. Maybe you won't find Women directly in this group but you will go in mind with networking with intelligent well connected Women who may be nice enough to refer you to a friend (who is hopefully not a single mother).
I was making fun of her {to me} strange preference. I don't care who my dates are dating. All I want to know is if she's sleeping with somebody. If the answer is yes then I'm outta there!
Actually I've discovered that discussing whoever the other is dating is not a very good subject.
Figures, I’m vulnerable and honest for a second and it gets thrown in my ing face. Never doing that again.
That was throwing it in your face? You were the one who used your experience as a proof point.
