i think this is the bottom line.^ i've never seen it play out any differently.

this has been a pretty brutal thread, though. It's not a lost cause, she just needs to go online and find some meek, mild-mannered shy type of guy. Your classic "Beta male".... A guy with a good job and no testicles.

I'm a single guy (educated, employed, all that jazz). Many of my guy friends are in the same boat, and we've talked about this. We all have no children and we all agreed that a woman having a child is an absolute deal breaker. A relationship would be out of the question.

My best advice would be to focus purely on single fathers. Or, better yet, you could try having children with someone who will actually stick around. Just a thought.

It's pretty obvious the three kids are the problem, and I honestly don't blame guys for not wanting a relationship with someone who already has 3 kids. I wouldn't date a guy with 3 kids. I'm not sure I'd date a guy with even 1 kid...maybe, but 3...whew, no way. Nice guys in your age range are probably looking for someone to start a family with. You already have one.

if your sex drive is that high, why don't you put out here and there in the meantime? Relationships are harder to come by

It's definitely the 3 kids that are the deterrent from you establishing a relationship with a guy. Guys don't like ready made families especially guys who don't have any children, they are thinking of it from a financial and emotional bags of things. I'm 39 and still looking for the one and I'm childless so I'm on the same boat as you except that I'm way older than you are
