That means if you reach your late-30s/early 40s and are still single, your chances of finding a woman without children is pretty small. If you maintain your determination never to date anyone with kids, you'll have to eliminate over 80% of women your own age from your dating pool before you even get into questions of mutual attraction, compatibility, etc.
A lot of them don't want women their own age anyway, so that won't be a problem.
I think you are assuming a lot.The parents are divorced. Maybe the parents just didn't get along, maybe the marriage was rushed and a mistake, maybe he had a moment of weakness and cheated (or she cheated on him) and they divorced... that doesn't make the father a lowlife (which implies sub human) or any less of a father.
To answer the OPs question, I am thinking most of the posters who won't date single moms are younger guys themselves and have a lot of non-mom dating options. Or maybe they are assuming "single mom" means "a loose woman" who doesn't know how to use birth control. I think they don't really stop and consider single moms who are in that place due to divorce, being widowed, or even by choice.
If a girl was married it a lot different then just a BF/GF thing . When people say single mom I think of a girl that has never been married.
Is this another Anti-man thread started by another male poster?
Sounds like it. I'll play along though, no I will never date a woman who has kids. I discussed my reasons why on here many times, so I won't get into that. There are plenty of women in my age group(33) who don't have kids. Also men can always date younger chicks, who don't have kids.

I would have to move if i wanted to meet a girl in my age group (30) that did not have a kid. I really do not mind it not a big deal.
Well from the single moms I have talk to most of the guys want nothing to do with there kids.
Yep. I'm one of them. :/

Again, yep. This is the ideal situation, but many times is a pipe dream. It goes both ways, to be fair. I know of two men who won custody of their children, and the mothers are pretty much MIA. In one case, the mother is literally MIA. She gave up custody and now has a new life in Savannah.

I absolutely agree. Luckily my son has great role models in his uncles and grandfathers that we've managed to keep the drama at bay. Sometimes it's just healthier to know when a battle can't be won, and make the best of it. My son had his struggles at first, but at age 18, I couldn't be prouder of him.

I would date a single mom seeing i want to be a dad someday . I do how ever want my own kid but would treat her kid as my own.
