Hey guys,

This is theory that came to me after thinking about gender dynamics for a few months. Suddenly I arrived at this realization.

I write 'average' since people on the internet and reddit might have different beliefs perhaps motivated by different ideologies. But, it seems to me that everyday 'lay people' might view things differently.

Single Dad's

It seems to me that in the eyes of the average woman, Single Dad's are viewed as 'somewhat's attractive.

I talked with a some female acquiantances/work collaborators and they told me that they would date a Single Dad, there would be no reason for them to lie to me since we were having a casual conversation. I have also share stories with other friends and online acquaintances and they seem to agree with my findings.

How are Single Dad's viewed?

It appear Single Dad's are viewed as 'Succesful.' A woman liked him enough, to get impregnated by him.

They also seem to 'subcommunicate' " friendliness," "Normalness" and approachability" like "He has a child he's responsible." It similar to he has a "dog." The whole having a child is viewed similarly to having a dog. Some women just find it attractive.

I can bet that many would choose to date/see a Single dad, over single guy with few or little experience with women who they might be view as "awkward" or even worst "creepy."

Single Mom's

On the opposite side of the spectrum are single mom's are viewed with suspicion, by the average guy. What are her intetions? Is she going to try to trap me? It's fascinating how some Single Dad's are given "immediate trust' while Single Mom's are given "immediate distrust."

Ironically, if Single Dad's are viewed as "Succesful" Single Mom' are viewed as "Unsucesful" Why isn't she with still with the child's father? She was probably irresponsible, and that's how she got pregnant.

These stayements might sound like 'hurtful' by some of you reading. However, I am just relaying the messages I've heard from some 'random average guys, and they are not my personal opinion.

How are Single Mom's viewed?

I think Single Mom's are viewed as 'somewhat' less attractive.

I asked a bunch of guys, "Hey would you see/date a single date a single mom." And they go, "No, I think I'm good." Some guys don't want to get involved in the lives of Single Mom's.

On the flipside, Single Mom's like Female Sex Workers. Both groups who appear to be at a disadvantage when it comes to dating. Seem to have much more realitic understanding of men's wants (sex, physical appearance) and much more realistic expectations.

The opposite of Single Women without children who seem to have very high expectations(He must be a Super Succesful guy for me to even consider him.)
