Not damaged, but she will have a hard time finding a man to date in her age range. She'd probably have to bump it up to 30s, and even then, a lot of guys don't want to deal with kids.
IF I were a male in my early 20's I would avoid a woman with children, because I would prefer to make my own. If I'm in my 30's or 40's, then it would be different.
Some men don't wanna deal with the burden and the complications of dating a woman with children, it's that simple. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the woman. She could be a wonderful person, but the kids add a responsibility that some men are not looking for especially if the relationship get's serious.
No, women with kids are not damaged goods, perhaps their dating pool may be smaller.
Can I just add one more thing to this ridiculous question? If there are kids involved and you know that you do not want to get serious with the Mom, save them some time and respect by not even getting involved? Kids tend to attach themselves to whoever Mom brings in the house. Hopefully she won't bring guys around anyhow unless she thinks it could be a serious connection.
Good Gwad!
I had two kids in my early 20's. I Became a single mom when my dh died. Believe it or not, it was very common to be married and have kids in your early 20's. I know these days people are marrying and having families later but that does not mean there is anything wrong with having a family in your 20's.
I don't think the OP was referring to women who married young and lost their husbands too soon. Believe it or not, the post was not directed you personally.
But I would add that men--single men--who have multiple children while that young would also send up some red flags for women. Such men might also have irresponsible attitudes about safe sex. A woman might rightly wonder if such a man was paying child support, or whether he simply regarded his children as chaff from his sexual conquests.
Yea pretty much. Only desperate guys would want to put gas in a car someone already totaled
I think many guys would disagree on that simple analogy.. There are many great single moms out there, and your reference about someone already totaled is disgraceful..
Gas in a car, i guess that's how much one might spend on a date.. lame
Is it true that a woman in her early 20's with a couple of kids already is usually considered to be damaged goods by most men?
What is damaged goods?
By most men, women, whatever, does everyone have to jump the bandwagon?
I'm sure there are still open minded folks out there.
What if a woman in her early 20s with a couple of kids has survived her hardships, and remains a hardworking and humble individual? Does that make them damaged goods? I'd say less likely so compared to a childless individual who's busy riding every person in town.
They need to wait to start dating again, until they raise the human beings that resulted from the last experience(s) they had dating and/or being married.
The children deserve that.
I'm going to start a new non-profit organization.
Institute Against Single Mommies Going Out And Dating Again After Having Kids That They Should Be Focused on Raising of America.
