1 yThat’s not true at all, just because somebody doesn’t want to date someone doesn’t mean they even judge them as a person. Some people aren’t ready for kids, and dating someone with kids long term it’s going to be a responsibility. Even if she doesn’t require anything other to be friends. Some people just aren’t that good around children.
It depends on the single moms situation, if she was married her husband cheated so she divorced, if she was raped, if she made bad choices but has taken accountability and is doing the best she can, etc. But if she’s just sleeping around plopping babies out that’s another story.
I am sorry you’re not entitled to date any man the same as no man is entitled to you. People have preferences and standards, if those standards aren’t reasonable the jokes going to be on them when they’re all alone in the end, that or settled for someone they’re not happy with.
Just because someone doesn’t want to date you doesn't make someone trash. If you feel entitled that could be what’s chasing any decent man off. They don’t want a woman whose like that. Men who aren’t trash also don’t sleep around. They don’t want a woman whose doing that.

1 yIf that's true, then I'm a trash guy lol.
I'm not currently at the point in my life where I'd be okay with raising another man's kids. I want kids of my own. I don't hate on single mothers, but another man's kids are not my responsibility. It also shows (most of the time, unless their partner has passed away) that they were not willing to figure things out in their past relationship or did not filter well enough. It's not a good implication of what my future might look like if I end up with them.02 Reply
Asker1 yMost of the time the child's father switches up and changes who he is once the baby comes. Nobody could predict that so it was unfortunate for the mother. I think you're potentially limiting your dating pool by not dating single mothers. There are some great women who just got dealt a bad hand. Once you reach a certain age the dating pool is filled with single mothers
- 1 y
Maybe once I'm older (around like 40) I'll open that option up, because there won't be any girls around my age that wouldn't have kids. Either that or just be content being single.
But I want my own family and blood and I think that's a completely normal desire.
No. People refuse to date people for many reasons. It's a preference. It doesn't make someone trash and it doesn't automatically make a guy good if he dates a single mother. If you're a single mom, take it as a blessing. Your kids come first and if a guy already knows he can't handle that type of responsibility up front then you saved yourself and your kids time and energy. But in no way does it make them a bad person, they just know what they want and that's respectable.

No, I don't think so.
Just like some of us women who aren't ready to be (or don't want to ever be) mothers, some men aren't ready to be fathers. The presence of an opinion on the matter is not a trait that determines how good, or bad, the person is.

Maybe they're not ready for that maybe they don't know how to do anything like that
And for the guys that dates a woman with children he has to understand that those children come before he does and he has to respect that
If he tries to become priority instead of the children then I think he is trashy he needs to understand those kids come way before he does and if he can't accept that then he's not going to be a good partner or friend to those kids10 Reply- 12.6K opinions shared on Dating topic.
u 1 yYoung people are always looking for general rules that allow them to classify members of the opposite sex as good/bad. But general rules have so many exceptions that it is a mistake to rely on them. There is no substitute for spending time with someone and getting to know them before making decisions about whether you want a future with them.
00 Reply 16.6K opinions shared on Dating topic. Not wanting to date women with other men's kids doesn't make a guy "trash". No need to hate on them, they have preferences like anyone else.
And as for the men dating single moms, well, they aren't all good men- many of them have criminal records and other serious downsides themselves and can't get anyone else.
00 Reply3.9K opinions shared on Dating topic. No. Some guys who insist on exclusively dating single moms may have "hero complex" or enjoy dating women who have hit a specific point of desperation that makes them completely dependent on the guy.

1 yUsually its the opposite. Since we are using the standard of trash. I was 20 and I could get almost anyone, even being some hick that just got out Iraq with shrapnel souvenirs stuck in my arms and legs. My confidence was in the trash so the trash started texted me and I felt more comfortable with the trash. The trash took my kids with them after trying to take my life for my TSGI.
lol, birds of a feather I guess. No. Finally I know what I was worth then. I have a good heart but that shit is on my sleeve too often. I’m actually pretty simpy and when a woman smiles flirts though I look like I could fight at 205 in MMA my old beta mindset weakens my knees, I’m married now so it doesn’t affect me like that now but I still like that attention a little too much and think about it as if I’m still 25 and single.
weak guys make weak decisions, not necessarily weak physically, but weak in most other aspects, they make decisions they regret all of the time, impulsive people get with other impulsive people, for women with kids their impulsive decisions ruin their chances of finding a good man, because most good men want their own family-not some other guy’s kid (s).
Men can recover and become good men, but losing kids and having to pay child support and/or alimony is a big life hurdle for them as well, most impulsive guys in that situation do not recover or rebuild their lives well enough to start a good family of their own with a good woman.
00 ReplyThere are good men and trash men on both sides of that. There are plenty of good men who don't want to raise another man's kids and be used for their money and security, and plenty of trash men who just date single mothers to have sex and leave. Expecting men to deal with the consequences of your misguided actions is just pure entitlement.

Asker1 yWhy if a single mother dates a guy it's not for love vs using him for his money and security?
Why do they have to be misguided actions? Sometimes relationships don't work, and does that mean she should be forbidden from dating because of that?- 1 y
I never said single mothers only date to use men for their money and security, it's just much more likely, because they have kids to take care of and that's difficult to do alone. I say misguided actions because having unprotected sex with someone you don't intend to stay with or someone who you're not sure is committed to you is an irresponsible thing to do. And I never said they should be forbidden from dating, but men don't have to be attracted to them either, and it's understandable why they wouldn't be. It's a burden that guys just don't want to deal with if the kid isn't theirs, and there's no reason to expect them to. As a man, dating single mothers is just a large risk and burden to take on. She's a single mother for a reason, and chances are that reason is irresponsibility.

1 yNot really.
Why would you call someone who doesn’t want to date single mothers is trash?
Everyone has their own choice.
Someone who doesn’t want to date single man/woman maybe just because they don’t want to bothered or troubled by someone else’s kids. Or take responsibility of someone else’s kids.10 Reply - 398 opinions shared on Dating topic.
1 ySome guys just aren’t ready for an instant family. That doesn’t make them bad or good.
Think about this… some bad guys might date a woman with a child because he believes she would be more desperate. Better chance of getting lucky.
See… there are good and bad everywhere, and people can seem good but be bad or seem bad but be good. Time will tell.00 Reply 3.6K opinions shared on Dating topic. Majority of men date single mother after their 40s cause majority of women and men have kids at this age.
I do not think we can call a man trash because he refuse to date a single and who's in his early 20s...
Also lots of abuser love to date fat, ugly or single mother because it give them power over them to degrade them so no all men who date single mother aren't good men.

Just because a woman is a single mom does not autimatically make her trash. But it does signal a potential problem. Potentially a BIG problem! This is why a man would do well to approach a single mom with CAUTION. Take his time, lest he make a mistake.

The reality is that on a good day, here is the list of her priorities: Her kids come first, then, she comes second. Then, you come last. You have to be willing to deal with this lineup.
