If guys don't want to date single mothers, why are there so many stepfathers?

How many exactly? Because I’m sure you haven’t been all around the world to see. Your experience is probably anecdotal. A lot of men don’t want to date single mothers. They should be shamed for it either like being called little boys for not doing so. It amazes me how women like to try to define to us men what we should be like. Like ok please tell me you know better than me. I’m just some stupid man who has no idea what a man is supposed to be. A lot of women can’t even define what a woman is but they think they can define what men are? Imagine if I said well only a little girl would refuse to get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich. Real women make their men sandwiches. That’s just ridiculous. Why would a man want to date a single mother? I’m not saying it doesn’t happen at all, but a lot of men don’t want that. That’s their choice.

A man would date a single mother for the same reasons he would date a childless woman.

What about a guy that is 33 years old? Wouldn't that be different because at that age a lot of the dating pool is filled with single mothers?

No. He could just look for a girl who is younger. Again most men don’t want to date single mothers. It’s too much. They shouldn’t have to either if they don’t want to. It’s a choice.

There’s a lot of both. More single fathers than mothers, and this is because women are more likely to not settle with someone that already has a child

Because an unfortunate amount of stepfathers really just wanted easy access to a child.

Because only boys don’t want to date single moms.

No it's true. Generally men don't want to date single mothers... Unless it's for the sex and they're desperate.

[Asker]

I think guys date single mothers for other reasons other than sex and desperation

[Kaizer000]

They may, but it's rare

[Asker]

Are you saying that a single mother is never a guy's first choice?

[Kaizer000]

Not never. 99% of the time, never.

A lot of desperate people exist
