Well my biggest fear about dating a single mom is what if i like her kids more then her? Also i want a kid of my own it a deal breaker to me. Next there can be a lot of drama when dating a single mom if the dad is a D- bag and 9/10 he is.
Now back to liking her kids more then her. A part of me will just fell kind of bad if i left her because it did not work out for what ever reason. I would feel like i am working out just like there real dad did in some way .
I am a single mom too (divorced) and I have no problem with men having an issue with that. Then again, mainly I've been dating divorced men and they usually have kids of their own too. Although the man I am seeing now is divorced, but never had kids. He doesn't seem to have an issue with me having a child other than he seems to regret he never had kids himself (his ex wife didn't want them). But he spoils his nieces and nephews to make up for it.
I can honestly say that my experiences in reality is different from what is said online. I never meet men that have issues with me having a child. I know on here and other sites people state that single moms struggle to find relationships, get remarried, etc with quality men and yet I can honestly not think of one single mom that I know personally that has struggled or had issues at all with getting boyfriends, or with men not wanting to know there child or be with the woman and the child in the longrun. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it sure hasnt happened to any of us.

This is true guys for the most part will still date a single mom. Well unless she the octomom no thanks 14 kids total.
If I happen to fall for a girl and she was a single mom i would tell her this lets take it slow let me get to know you and then we can bring the kid into the relationship. I do not think it a bad way to go about it IMO.
As a guy i know i feel like there can be a lot of drama if her kids dad a D BAG .
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.
Being childfree, I ALWAYS pass up mothers. I'd rather be alone than be with a mother, regardless of the age of her offspring. Even if they're grown and gone, I'll never be #1 with a mother, so I avoid them like the plague.
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.
Sometimes I think you might have a hard time knowing what is so. Just like you didn't "get the memo" that this topic has been discussed many times before. Maybe guys will date a single woman with kids, but for many guys that is a deal breaker, and it doesn't make any difference how hot she may be. I know from experience. I finally married a single woman that had kids, but not until they were out of school and out of her home. I know from first hand experience most women don't want a man she is dating telling her kids how to behave, if they don't already know how to behave. Many times when it comes to raising children men and women don't think a like, especially when the kids are hers.
No one has the right to judge a single mom unless they're a virgin. Anyone can be put in that position. I simply wouldn't date a single mom because I wouldn't be able to deal with a kid. I'd be dumped in a heartbeat.
I judge ALL mothers equally - to be avoided, at least as far as my interest goes. I'd rather die alone than put up with anyone's kids.
Depends on what she is looking for. She most likely will have to lower her standards a bit. The "dealbreaker" for most men is that she DOESN'T.
