Last night, a few of my friends got into a discussion with some girls around the way about this. They asked us why men didnt want to date single mothers.

We said:
* Too much Drama
* Too young to be playing Daddy
* How can you know if the woman is truly genuine (would she have wanted you if she wasnt in that predicament)
* Baby Daddies (Diss his babymama for 5 years but, show up once he see another ? come around smh)
* Most of them chased no good ? & expect some simp to clean up their mess

They said:
* Not all single mothers were that by choice (s/o died, divorce)
* Some of YOUR mothers were single mothers, so why would you disrespect anyone in the same predicament
* Just because she's a mom....does that mean she should NEVER EVER BE LOVED AGAIN?


How yall feel about it? I dont know man. There was this bad ? (Her picture is below) from HS who I always had a crush on & never took it anywhere cuz she was a lil bit older but, the other day I seen her & yes......she was still bad as ? but, she had a kid & my interest level went TO ZERO!!!!! What is it about single mothers that repels us men?

    it's all conditional to the woman.. if her priorities in life are ? up, then she deserves the hard treatment..but if she's handling her business in a way i can respect....there shouldn't be a problem

    Most men are not ready for family, kids, healthcare, mortgage, homework et al
    Most single mothers ran good men/fathers out of the house, and she'll likely do the same to you - big turn off.
    Personally I DON'T mind dating one, I actually dated one before.

    We can be, but its like the man above me said..its all in how they carry themselves...if it looks like u need a hand out then thats a problem....but if ya ? is together and u have some type of boundaries set with the childs father, we can kick it....but a long term relationship is not on my mind for a very very long time

    Because most men, who have themselves together, don't want a ready made family. They also don't want a lot of the delusions that come with dating/simping a single mother.It's funny, they're the ones with the "baggage" but have the most demands of what they want in a man, like hoe, you should be the last person with demands for anything.

    The problem is that society has gotten soft on single motherhood and all of a sudden it's "accepted" now....

    kids shouldn't be the deal breaker in a relationship...

    the woman's character should be the deal breaker..

    cu it's very possible that you could meet a woman with kids, and after time she still limits the ? she'll allow you to do for her kids, cuz she's not 100% the dude is going to stick around, and the last thing they wana do is have someone who's temporary around their children..


    so don't think every chick with a kid wants u to play daddy...


    i know a couple right now, where dude knew the girl for 6 years, and they were dating on the low for 2, b4 she was finally ready to let her daughter know that he wsan't "just a friend"

    the little girl knew dude damn near all her life, and never once knew that he was her mother's boyfriend until this past year..

    so i mean don't think all single mothers in a rush to drop a kid off on a ? .... if she's that type of female chances are, there's hella other things wrong with her that would have ultimately turned u off anyway

    I don't knock them but I don't wanna date anymore too much headache IME. They don't understand the child is going to present problems itself no matter how good of a parent or how good of a child they have (only one had a bebe kid). Can't do ? sometimes, can't go places on the spur of the moment, ? just makes the relationship stale IMO and I'm sorry if you really diggin the mother you are GONNA HAVE to spend money and time on the child and that opens a whole can because sometimes you end up liking thje kids more than the mother lol. man it's just too much unneccssary ? to deal with but finding a chick my age without a kidf is like hittin the lotto so.... You got to ready to deal with alot of ? you can't control that's for sure.

    May not be, but the problem most of them can't understand is, why would a man with no kids and no baggage spend his hard earned money on another man's kid? especially if the mother had the kid with a loser, which is usually the case...

    ok, but how soon are they doing this?

    i mean did u read the stoy i posted?

    i'm talking about 6 years of knowing a female, and 2 years of secretly dating, before he was introduced to her daughter as her boyfriend....
    is even this scenario un reasonable?

    Not exactly. A lot of brothas are beginning to "wake" up to the games of single mothers, and seek better options. The awakening is slow, but it's coming....

    Well, I have a kid and me and my S/O are trying to work things out. So I cant answer that, since its my kid.


    But if a dude chooses loves a woman he accepts her for who she is. And if she is a mother, he accepts that too.


    With that said, I never dated a single mom, so im just guessing.

    But nobody is forcing you to date and marry a single mother.

    Perhaps.

    But once you hit 30+ and you want to date women your age, expect them to have at least one kid.
