When I was single, my rule was to not date anyone divorced or with a kid(s). I married at 28 and never dated any of the above. You have a right to decide what you want and what you don't want.
Of course, life happens and if I had gotten to know someone real well, developed feelings and then found out he carried one of the above pieces of baggage, I may have accepted it. I just knew I was too immature to deal with that, so I avoided it and I never had to be involved with it.
If I were single at 35, it'd be a lot more difficult to avoid.
We all have our criteria for whom we'll date - or not. We can condemn other peoples' choices, and they may well condemn ours. Bottom line: date who you want, and don't worry about missing out on the judgmental ones, as they are not right for you anyway.
WHAT!?!? And get two boycotts started:
1) the guys who won't date single moms because they see it as encouraging an antisocial and dysfunctional lifestyle choice.
2) the women who won't date a man who won't date single moms.
No wonder we need so much immigration to keep the population growing.

Yeah, the merging of the threads can be distilled to this. I find both offensive, but especially the bold. Those are the single childless women who WILL date single dads and I'm sure we've heard them say in a stupid sing-song voice: "And this weekend, he's got his kids," as if to say he can ejaculate and reproduce. So can 99.75% of the male population. And her point is?
You must be assuming full custody without a 2nd parent in the picture?
I know a few single mothers who have plenty of time. They have shared custody and have their children either every other week or 3 1/2 days out of each week.
In that case, the single parent might have time to date -- but it's still not the freedom that someone childless would have. Every other weekend free instead of every weekend free, and then obviously there's an ex in the picture, not everyone wants to deal with that baggage either although there would be some kind of free time.

What on earth are you on about? That post doesn't even make sense.
I had one who wanted me to sell my house. It turned out that she had several hundred thousand in debt she needed to be paid off!
Lol. Same here. I had one woman who kept on me how we needed to combine our checking accounts, she said "we will have more money!" This of course is the same woman who would scrape out my cigarette tray for loose change.
Personally, I don't want kids. I view them as a huge money sink and liability, not an investment.
But with respect for the mother, it would creep me out, like she had a 'leftover' from a previous relationship, a ever present reminder that somebody else was inside my SO.
