Not all, no gross generalizations here...but the men I've come across prefer women they can 'dominate'. Had a guy recently tell me the only reason he wouldn't date me is because I was smarter than he was.

His loss.
It sounds like you know a lot of idiots (sadly).

I do. And honestly, I thought this was the norm for men until I came on here and talked to men and women who didn't have the same issues I did. I know there are a lot of jerks out there, but it seems I live in an area and am in a profession that has a concentration of them.

You're working with gear heads who do it for a living. From my experiences, I'd say most of them are like you describe.

Something like half of all kids born to mothers under 30 are born out of wedlock. I'm sure it only seems like there are more single moms than dads because a lot of the dads are absent parents so they're not toting around their kids or claiming them on dating websites.
Jesus and uncle Sam will raise her kids like majority of single mothers in America.

How can it be a right of passage for independence when most of these girls have to receive air from church and government programs to help raise her kids. I smh. Thank goodness I don't have no kids, where I'm from majority of women will take me to cleaners for child support payments. Is it me but many women especially independent women have unrealistic goals on choosing an ideal mate over a mate.

Rare and unlikely. The vast majority of single parent households are that of low income, uneducated people. Although, stating what you have SEEN (not scene) as something that holds value beyond an opinion, your opinion, is nonsense. 2:1 your scene does not include a plethora of career minded women.

You are right. It makes sense because Single mother is just one income. I usually hear them complain a lot about making ends meet. On top of this, they continue to have more and more babies.

If you filter women with no kids then you will notice that lot of them have a 4 year degree or more with high paying jobs.

Living in south carolina the ratio of single girls in their 20s with kids to single girls in the same range without kids is staggering. i've looked at a couple profiles of girls in my area who are 21/22 years old and already have 3 kids to their credit.

i love it too when some of these girls list their occupation as "housewife" or "stay at home mom". according to my definition you neither of those two "jobs" brings in a livable income haha. so to me i'm already aware of what they're looking for. sadly any guy with the money to "take care of her" would not want that baggage to begin with.

Yep, poverty is known issue for single moms.

I do happen to know a few career minded, single moms. But, their stories are a bit different than what's portrayed here (IVF, intentional coupling for pregnancy while unmarried).
