Why does being a single mother drastically decrease a woman's dating opportunities?

crookedsummer2019 · 2022-07-19T13:58:36+00:00

Probably for the same reasons why some women prefer not to have relationships with single fathers. It’s a lot to take on if you don’t have kids or don’t want kids.

That said, there are plenty of awesome single parents who do date and have relationships. Almost every single mother I know is in a relationship. Some with men who also have kids and some with men who don’t.

EulenWatcher · 2022-07-19T13:53:10+00:00

I'd guess most people, especially younger ones, don't want to date partners who already have their own kids. They don't want to participate in raising these kids or providing for them, some don't want to have any kids whatsoever. There's also an issue of paternity rights and whether the second parents is on the picture...all in all, it just has far more protentional issues than dating a partner who doesn't have kids.

Naebany · 2022-07-19T13:49:48+00:00

The other reason is that man can form a bond with a child that he has no rights to. And when the relationship fails he loses not only woman but a child too.

Slipthe · 2022-07-19T13:52:20+00:00

Because right out the gate a single mom is going to choose her children over you. That manifests in all sorts of ways.

And not to mention it scares off any dudes who don't actually want children at that point in their life. So shacking up with a single mom means at some point you are transitioning to a parental figure for her kids, however long that takes.

And then you have that third opinion of the men on PPD who experience visceral disgust at the thought of raising a child they didn't father.

DXBrigade · 2022-07-19T14:52:50+00:00

Being a stepparent = all the disadvantages of being a parent without the advantages. You don't have any recognition but you take part in child rearing.

That said, I think case of stepdad being forced to pay child support is rare.

It can also be complicated when you don't get along with the kid or when you have to deal with baby daddy drama.

2022-07-19T15:33:30+00:00

Kids are a huge responsibility. They cost time and money. I know a lot of single moms say something like "I'm not looking for a stepdad," but if the eventual goal is to form a family unit, it's kind of implied that they become your responsibility. It's not like the bio dad will be coming over to help little Timmy with his fractions homework on a random Tuesday night. If your girl is busy, guess who is going to be helping little Timmy learn fractions on Tuesday night after working all day long.

Kids are obstacles in spending adult time with your girl. Whether you want to fuck or go out on a date, you have to make sure the kids are taken care of.

The bio father will probably be in the picture, unless he's dead or imprisoned. No guy likes having another guy involved in his household.

The dynamic between kids and "the replacement dad" is just inherently strange. You won't be the real dad ever, and at best you'll fill the role of being their "adult best friend" if you're nice to them and buy them stuff.

Men are typically not asked to do the day to day caring of kids which I think women who meet single dads might be.

On the other hand, men are traditionally seen as success objects where we are objectified for income and ability to provide. So just like women don’t want to be taken advantage of sexually, men don’t want to be taken advantage of financially.

There is also a group of men who like no commitment style lifestyle where kids and the lifestyle they force on you don’t combine.

Personally I like kids and I think I would grow attached of them. A breakup means I will loose contact with the them which would feel bad for me. It’s like a double breakup.

SpiritualEnema · 2022-07-19T18:34:45+00:00

It’s all the responsibility of having kids with none of the corresponding authority. Being a stepdad is a thankless shitty job. Single mothers are very upfront often about you being the last priority in their life. Many use men as primarily monetary help. They have very little free time and many are jaded from previous baby daddy drama. No guy really wants to raise another man’s kid. Many single mothers also don’t want to have any more kids having experienced a broken home before.

Basically it’s a ton of liability with very little reward.

Some men will date single mothers, but marrying them…. I don’t see that very often. Marriage is just a shit deal for men, especially higher earning men. There is no reason to marry a woman that you don’t have kids with or have an agreement to have kids with ASAP. Even then I advise men to steer clear most of the time. Marriage vows don’t mean much to most people anymore and the financial implications of a divorce can last for a lifetime.

Ok-Map-7596 · 2022-07-19T14:19:31+00:00

Most people don't want to raise children that aren't theirs.

schetzo · 2022-07-19T15:47:19+00:00

For a childless man who got his shit together to decides to date a woman with children, imo he’s actively settling.

Having children will complicate things in the initial dating period (honeymoon period).

Lack of availability or spontaneity.

Responsibility for child you have no rights to.

Making someone your priority knowing you’ll never be theirs.

You can be attracted to a woman or person with children but personally I would try to check my feelings at the door and have fun with her but I wouldn’t pursue anything serious or long term.

TLDR; it’s not worth a whole relationship.

Jungle_Serpent81 · 2022-07-19T14:19:29+00:00

Not over her ex, a single mother has access to her ex when it comes to pick up and drop offs of their child which means she has access to a man she may still have strong emotional connections with.
Being used for assets, I've heard countless stories of guys meeting single mothers who only used them to make life easier for them to get ahead then bounced once they had two feet firmly planted on the ground. A man can be a babysitter, finicial help, roof over their heads and a way for her to improve her life with no real LTR goals.

NotTheRealLuis · 2022-07-19T15:15:51+00:00

NyahFriday · 2022-07-19T20:05:39+00:00

It says a lot when being a single mother drastically decreases her dating opportunities, and yet her opportunities are still far better than the average dude lol. A single washed-up 50 year old woman has more opportunities than most men excluding the top tier, even if the wall is a thing.

BitsAndBobs304 · 2022-07-21T06:08:26+00:00

you'll always be #2. or #3. or 4.

biological father drama

the vast majority of people who want kids don't want to raise other people's kids

some people dont want any kids

she'll always be busy and tired, you won't even be able to have sex at home. sometimes you wont even be able to date because she wont be able to find an available trustable babysitter. or have the money for it.

most single mothers are desperate not just for a relationship, not just for a replacement father to the children, but also for money. and they won't ask you, they'll expect it and demand it. or, eventually, try to take it in court.

Blueexpression · 2022-07-19T16:15:09+00:00

If I date a single mom, I'd have to deal with scheduling, emergencies, the fact that I will also be second to her child. If it is a committed relationship, I'd have to raise the child, provide for the child, and not be able to punish the child as I see fit. I potentially may get disrespected by the child because I'm not biological.

I'd have to deal with the baby daddy still have access to my girl. I may even have to deal with bullshit from the baby daddy...

If I have options, there would be no way in hell I'd choose the lesser option.

Financial_Leave4411 · 2022-07-19T14:05:16+00:00

I wouldn’t date single dads due to the fact that I don’t want children. Having kids in the household severely limits a persons freedom. You can’t move for a new job at the drop of a hat as easily which stifles your career and lifestyle; household bills, health insurance/care and food are more expensive and you loose the majority of your free time to do the things your enjoy to caring for the kids. If that wasn’t bad enough you have a third wheel in your relationship in the form of the baby momma or baby daddy. That’s too much trouble for child free individuals to put up with. Single parents are best dating other single parents.

SkeletonMagi · 2022-07-19T16:53:16+00:00

My brother married a single mother of 2 because he wanted kids, but over time she siphoned off assets for herself and her kids then refused to have a kid with him. So he got divorce-raped.

Single mothers could simply want more assets and not more kids.

januaryphilosopher · 2022-07-19T15:15:04+00:00

The same reason I wouldn't date a single father: they just don't want children right now, especially having to adjust to already partially grown children who may or may not accept them. Having a child is a big decision that people usually take after getting into a stable relationship and some don't want children at all. Some possibility of paying child support in the future really isn't on most people's radar when thinking about this; I certainly had never considered it, although I guess I may have had to pay it.

Smitten_Squire · 2022-07-19T17:07:03+00:00

Single moms are low value women for many reason. Sure they can get many "dates", but all that will just compound the issues even more.

Peacesquad · 2022-07-19T17:12:27+00:00

Why wouldn’t it? Lol

pop442 · 2022-07-19T17:44:58+00:00

-Many of the children refuse to acknowledge the stepdad or boyfriend as a real father figure which can lead to many issues with not just the kids but the mother as well.

-Many men, particularly young, aren't mentally prepared to jump the gun and raise kids early on in the relationship. And the children not even being his own accelerates the issue.

-More often than not, the ex-boyfriend or "baby daddy" hasn't totally moved on from the relationship with the woman and many still want to be seen as the "real Dad" to their kids which can lead to hostility or envy towards the stepdad.

-While somewhat petty, you'll never know if the single mom merely settled for you over resources and getting the bills paid or out of true desire. Let's keep it 100....some of these single moms and "reformed thots" were the same women avoiding the "lames", nerds, dudes with no social clout, etc. before having kids. Now, that having kids and no married father around "humbled" them and leveled out the playing field, they're suddenly open for those same dudes to "man up" or give them a chance. Nothing wrong with that in theory but it can be very demasculinizing.

Overall, single men dating single moms can work, particularly if it involves those of the divorced variety in contrast to those who had kids out of wedlock. But it's still ultimately better for single men to go after women without kids because many men aren't prepared for the complexities and challenges that comes to being a stepdad and jumping into fatherhood so fast.

I've dated a single mom that I went to school with before. I dumped her because her ex/baby dad kept sending her dick pics on her cell phone and he was a 6 ft tall brute who wanted to start drama with me whenever I'd come to her house to eat dinner. Bro would literally find out when she was having dinner then drive to her house at the same time to start trouble with me. By no means am I saying that this is a typical experience but the chances of running into those problems are much higher in those type of relationships.

JumboJetz · 2022-07-19T22:47:18+00:00

My family would look down on me if I had a serious relationship with a single mother is why I’m unlikely to form a committed relationship with one.

A casual relationship though? Yes.

Stunning-Potato-1984 · 2022-07-19T23:02:39+00:00

No one really wants to be a stepparent.

Business-Cheesecake2 · 2022-07-20T12:18:29+00:00

because I do not want to take care of another mans child, that isn't mine.

Also the kid isn't mine so if we break up there might be some attachment developed.

single moms are usually in survival mode not lover mode, in terms of mate selection.

ill pass.

ProfessorFelix0812 · 2022-07-19T14:38:18+00:00

Baby daddy drama, and you’ll spend your time, effort, money, blood, sweat, and tears helping raise a kid that for the most part, will always just view you as the nice guy that dates their mom. I’m not saying that to bag on the kid. That’s just how it works. Being a step-parent is HARD, and it’s not for everybody.

Fine_Measurement7968 · 2022-07-19T17:32:37+00:00

You never know what type of guy is the father of those kids, I’ve seen dudes go through hell dating single mothers because their baby daddy’s would just barge in anytime. It is a constant reminder of the guy she used to date. Not only that, the kids can come up with so bs and mark my word the will be fights. Kids running around the house throwing things. You tell them to stop, they will tell their fathers a whole different story!

I want to know where in the hell are men being forced into child support for a child they don’t actually have? Seriously?! I can’t get child support out of the actual fathers and not once have I ever considered asking an EX for child support just bc they were around my kids for a couple years. I need answers!! Where is this “law”?

For me, there’s a lot of factors that make dating hard. 1) I already have my kids and will not be having any more. 2) plans have to made ahead of time. Sitters have to be arranged. Single parents have to put up money for the date before it even happens. 3) we work hard to have a stable home and provide for our children so anyone who doesn’t have their act together is not going to cut it. 4) differences in parenting ethics. Even men who have children of their own rarely pick up books or magazines about how to properly care for and discipline children. Men tend to emulate their own father’s discipline with no regard to the level of toxic and abuse they put on a kid. When it’s not their child, they have even less acknowledgement of generational cycles. 5) the prejudice of how she became a single mother. The history she carry’s with her will always be something that he’ll have to answer for to his circle of friends and family.

Lotus_82 · 2022-07-19T15:29:29+00:00

I’m not interested in women with kids because of she has children it means we’re not interested in the same life path and lifestyle.

The women I’m attracted to are worldly, well traveled, they speak multiple languages, they’re highly accomplished in terms of academics and careers they like to use their time and money on travel and the finer things is life, and there’s nothing fine about screaming kids and shitty diapers. And while I don’t think there’s anything wrong with women who do want kids and families, the social circles I’m part of and the women I date have different goals and aspirations.

Siukslinis_acc · 2022-07-19T15:39:44+00:00

One reason could be that he will always be in the second place as the first place will be taken by the child.

houstongradengineer · 2022-07-19T15:40:33+00:00

Literally just choosing from men who WANT children leaves a woman less choices. People who aren't already parents will have the luxury of being undecided and playing both sides.

Plus, the adjusted timetable for parenting on account of existing children is something hard to accept by many people who do eventually want children.

I would argue that this also applies to single fathers.

PandaSquabblesSloth · 2022-07-19T17:09:57+00:00

Baggage. I have kids from a previous relationship and so does my fiancé. There is so. Much. Drama. Constantly. It sometimes doesn’t even seem worth it. If I didn’t have my own kids I would’ve been gone a long time ago.

Krouser1522 · 2022-07-19T18:45:49+00:00

Several reasons..it’s harder to plan things especially if the child is young. Mom will have to take care of the kid or find a babysitter she can’t just pick up and go out as easily if she is single. There may be issues with the father and baby daddy drama I’ve seen it happen with randomly showing up at her house, blowing up her phone when she is out etc. This is a pretty important one..depending if she has a few kids she may not want any more and if you are not ok with with just being a step dad this is a deal breaker. It has to be emphasized that her kids are not yours..they have a real father in their life and when interacting with her kids the dreaded phrase can be heard “you are not my dad” which is hurtful..this is of course anticipating the relationship gets serious over time many guys for many reasons just decide it’s not worth it..there are just more factors at play you have to worry about. If you are an older guy though this is going to be hard to avoid this is mainly about younger guys trying to date

throwaway316stunner · 2022-07-19T19:23:05+00:00

Because I would want to raise my own child, not another man’s.

LowerPatience207 · 2022-07-19T19:36:04+00:00

I can't speak for people who won't date single mothers, but I briefly dated a single father and it was a nightmare. His ex-wife would use their child to block us from being together - for example, we had planned a weekend getaway, and as soon as she found out that he was seeing me she coincidentally got COVID and told him that she couldn't take their child for the week. Kid is three years old and at that point it was too late in the day to find a babysitter for the weekend. These kind of interruptions happened a lot. It was strange because she had initiated the divorce after coming out of the closet, but she still wanted to control him and would occasionally text him nudes and "I miss you" texts. He said that having a baby with her was the worst decision of his life. Over time it became apparent that he had psychological problems too - and I didn't want to stick around long enough to see his own toxicity play out in our relationship. It takes two to tango, after all.

I wouldn't date a single parent again unless I was a single parent and the ex was completely out of the picture. I would only make an exception if the person's ex was on VERY good terms with the person that I was dating. I love kids - the idea of being a stepmother doesn't phase me. It's the type of involvement the person's ex has that makes or breaks the relationship.

srqfla · 2022-07-19T19:46:01+00:00

Because no man wants to be invited to the end of a party just to clean up the mess

srqfla · 2022-07-19T19:47:17+00:00

Because the title stepfather is given to a man by a woman and can be taken away by the same woman because her feelings change.

Because responsibility without authority describes a stepfather and also describes slavery

Rol9x · 2022-07-19T20:02:04+00:00

First of all, a single mother has a lot of things to do to take care of her kids and make sure she makes enough money to survive. Then she is too tired to be able to date. She also puts her kids before anything else. She probably won't consider having other kids. Why get in a situation like this when there are so many other single women who do not have these issues?

kcmiz24 · 2022-07-19T20:43:40+00:00

It kind of naturally disgusts me to put resources into raising another man’s kid. Like it’s cuck-ish

Obvious_Case_7934 · 2022-07-19T20:46:59+00:00

Lots of baggage possibly baby daddy drama. Why go through that when there are plenty of childless women.

TheMedsPeds · 2022-07-19T22:57:18+00:00

Well there is a kid/kids around all the time. So it’s like after a few dates you skip the “fun” stage and immediately starting doing “family stuff”

Idk, I don’t think I could date a single Dad, maybe if he had one kid and that was over 15 and stayed with Mom most of the time. Dating a single parent sounds horrible to me tbh. But then again I’m child free. So maybe it’s not so bad for guys who like and want families of their own one day.

alaroot · 2022-07-20T00:54:04+00:00

(1) Potential trauma issue

(2) May recontact and get back with the original father,

(3) 'Used' body (usually first born are healthier and smarter)

(4) Child support aside as you said extra commitment like time, energy and even more financial resources are needed for the existing child.

(5) Usually of older age (less fertility)

ValentPerspective · 2022-07-20T06:57:22+00:00

Ultimate form of cuckoldry, unless its casual

InfamousBake1859 · 2022-07-20T11:54:42+00:00

The logical answer: parenthood takes a lot of time. I have one baby who isn’t even fussy - overall pretty good baby, and i barely have time for my husband. We haven’t had sex in 8 months. We can maybe squeeze out enough time for a 2 hr date like once every 2 weeks. We are always slesp deprived and tired. I cannot fathom as a mom - starting a new high quality relationship (which also takes time and commitment)

The misogynistic answer from some men: don’t play another man’s saved game. She has baggage, etc.

GlamSunCrybabyMoon · 2022-07-19T15:43:28+00:00

A step father wouldn’t be on the hook to pay child support unless the bio dad has his rights terminated, the step dad marries the mother, and he fully adopts the child. Even then, child support enforcement is a joke and it’s easy to not pay child support if that’s really the biggest concern.

thechozenwan · 2022-07-20T05:27:56+00:00

Lots of reasons could be baby daddy drama, conflicting life styles, lack of spontaneity, lack of availability, the fact that kid(s) wants and needs will always come before yours. Some don’t want children of their own around and especially not someone else’s children. Some want to share the experience of being married and having their first born with their partner. As you know that’s not possible for a divorcee that already has kids.

gofigure62 · 2022-07-19T14:36:43+00:00

Because the man has to compete with the child for time, attention, and resources.

Men literally complain about their own bio kids getting all of their wifes attention.

They don't want to be second to a kid, and also don't want any responsibility associated with the kid.

SwaySh0t · 2022-07-19T14:55:57+00:00

The cons outweigh the pros (if there’s any). Most women can’t do better than their baby’s father, and they usually still have feelings for him while she try’s to get you to pay for her, her children and her mistakes. You have all of the responsibility and no actual authority.

thetacobitch · 2022-07-19T15:22:50+00:00

The men that would see that as an issue don’t have the financial means and/or emotional intelligence to take care of a family. (Or if he just doesn’t want kids period)

But that’s embarrassing to admit, so they say all the disgusting fucked up stuff you’ll see in these comments instead.

SoftAd6291 · 2022-07-19T23:20:34+00:00

Not always. My aunt didn’t have money and was a single mother and she married the VP of a company and he made her a stay at home wife and spoils tf out of her and treats her like a queen. She knew her worth. It’s just that society makes them think they’re less valuable but there’s a lot of men out there that love and respect single moms.

AstronautLoveShack · 2022-07-19T16:56:09+00:00

It doesn't, really. All the single moms I know have dated and gotten married.

lostwanderer28 · 2022-07-19T17:19:41+00:00

My question. Does being a single mom really drastically decrease a woman's dating options?

All these posts and comments, I always assumed those are just a couple of angry, frustrated men trying to get revenge on women.

Willow-girl · 2022-07-20T12:00:52+00:00

Imagine your penis having to compete with an infant for attention!

It's bad enough when it's your own kid ...

Get ready to be rattled and disgusted by the male species after these comments. Reminder that all men don’t think this way, just the majority of men on this sub that ironically can’t get a woman to touch them anyways.

Not-barry-63 · 2022-07-19T20:03:38+00:00

It actually doesn't lol. Most single mothers get into new relationships pretty soon.

Desirability will mostly depend on how she looks, her personality and to a lesser degree - her financial situation.

For example, in the UK a single mum can work 30hrs a week and still have a two bed flat/house. So she wouldn't be a massive drain on the man's finances.

If she was in a less developed country and would be a drain on a guys money, she would generally struggle much more.

It's not that complicated. It's just a huge inconvenience to the other. Most people prefer not being inconvenienced.

The same reason women don’t want to date men with children. It’s too much baggage.

delight-n-angers · 2022-07-19T21:03:33+00:00

because if their children recognize the guy as a father figure or a stepfather and they finish the relationship the man may be on the hook to pay child support for children that are not his

That's not how child support works.

FadedTony · 2022-07-19T21:06:51+00:00

Hey OP, are women liable for child support in the reverse situation as well I'm assuming, if a single father's child sees her as a motherly figure?

I was unaware of this wow

You think men don’t want to date single mothers because they’re afraid the kids might turn out be the ones they abandoned?

Huh?

I don’t want kids of my own so I sure as hell don’t want raise another persons kid. That being said now that I’m in my 30’s I’ve been a little more lenient. I’ll only date women who’s kids are old enough to take care of themselves and not need a baby sitter.

I don’t like little kids part of why I don’t want any of my own but I can deal with a kid who can mostly take care of themselves. It just makes dating easier when you don’t have to cancel cause the baby sitter got sick and you’re less likely to get the bio dad.

Swapsta · 2022-07-20T19:08:54+00:00

Just alot more added responsibility.

now not only are you not dealing with another women but also her kids.

There's a coupe of reasons:

You're going to be #2, especially at the beginning of a relationship. A single mom is going to put her kids first, as she should. I have heard it posited that in a healthy family, you should put God (if you believe in a higher power), yourself, your partner then your kids. The rationale behind having your kids last is they need stability from their parents.
Generally harder to make plans.
Going to be more likely to be attached to a previous partner in some way.
The whole disciplining of a kid that's not yours.

You know when a new male lions takes over a pride he kills the young offspring of his predecessor. Unfortunately as civilized humans we can’t do this.

No one wants to raise and support your cum pet mistakes from another dude. Just like I wouldn’t chew gum I found on the sidewalk and expect it to still have flavor. It was thrown away for a reason.

The kid

RealNiceLady · 2022-07-29T11:25:57+00:00

You don't have to pay child support for kids that aren't yours. Being a single mom reduces opportunities because men want a virgin and single moms are the opposite of that.

Thickcock_69 · 2022-07-29T14:26:32+00:00

No man with any amount of self respect is going to take care of another mans nut. Plus single mothers arent looking for love, they are looking for help/financial support

rsa1x · 2022-08-11T17:56:40+00:00

Relationships cost a lot for men, it is just not in any man's interest to waste that time and resources with a woman that has another man's child. Just isn't interesting.

The most compatible people for single parents are other single parents.
