What I've noticed is, when women say they don't want to date single fathers its ok.
When men say they don't want to date single mothers there heartless monsters who hate women. The double standards are absolutely disgusting
Well, men not wanting to date single mothers isn't wrong... and I say that as a single mom. Everyone has preferences and we can't help it. I think most people who say they wouldn't date a single parent are most likely never married and younger--and I can see their point of view on it. When it becomes hypocritical is when it's a man or woman who's abandoned his or her own kids who says this.
And yeah, double standards stink. Welcome to the world where some people say exactly what you said about men who won't date single moms... and welcome to the world where some people call single mom's "baby mamas" and whores who get what they "deserve" and single dads get sympathy and admiration for "manning up."
Like.. When a woman says she prefers not to date men with kids people accept her answer and leave it alone, not the same with men. A man says it and all sorts of questions and accusations arise.
"What do you mean don't date single moms?" "What's wrong with you?" "Do you hate your mom too?"
I've even heard some women say and i quote "only real men date single mothers"
Well, personally I think those women are wrong. Maybe they are taking it personally or something. If a man doesn't want to date a woman with kids--for whatever reason--that's his choice. Maybe he doesn't like kids, maybe he wants a more spontaneous relationship where you can do things "whenever", maybe he isn't ready for an "instant family." It doesn't matter, it's his preference. Now, he doesn't need to be a jerk about it. But people shouldn't be jerks to him because or it either. But like you said, this world if full of unfair double standards--what can a person do about it really.
Sorry for the threadjack... I have a tendency to do that. I swear, next forum I register for, I am taking the name "Threadjacker" if it's available.

Lol, exactly. Some women come on here and state there disdain for short men, men without degrees, men who don't have "good jobs"(i.e. money), men with kids. And I have never took offense, or resorted to childish name calling.

Not wanting to date someone is not synonymous with calling a person damaged goods. This has already been stated. If people are really too stupid to understand this, well, I guess I feel for you.
Damaged goods is a harsh term. We are all basically damaged goods to a certain degree, no one makes it out of this life with out some kind of trauma happening to them.....
So... don't really get the point of this thread, other than to start people going on a negative diatribe about others......
We're all damaged to one extent or another. Life does that to a person. Even if a person NEVER had any heartache and life was always perfect.......... is damaged in the fact they are not prepared when something goes wrong, among other potential problems.
I think it is a matter of making sure your dysfunctions fit with your partners.

Really? You might want to take a look at some of IDon'tDateYou's threads. I think you'll see things differently.

So you're upset because "damaged goods" is not P.C. enough for you? Good lord, please get a life.

There are many single moms on this forum and it's just mean of you, so I speak up. There is no reason for you to speak like that of people. And really, it's quite stupid for people in glass houses to throw stones. And not only do you grossly insult people you will never know who don't want to know you, you do it with poor grammar, like you're some kind of unintelligent dolt. "A women" "A women". It's so stupid. And then clap yourself over sexing people you find pathetic. I can only imagine the trash your mother raised you in.
