Do most men prefer to not date single mothers?

Some men will, others won’t. I personally wouldn’t. To me, I made stupid mistakes in the past. But never to the point where I become a single parent. But there are special circumstances, like if the father died. Otherwise, it just screams not making good choices. And some women make the claim that guys lie or change. Then maybe you shouldn’t have let him hit it raw. And I don’t need that type of woman in my life. I have enough problems of my own. I don’t need to take care of someone else’s problems.

Why don't you need that type of woman in your life? Everyone can make a mistake. If it's two or three times over then that is a massive red flag

Single moms tend to have other issues as well

[Asker]

Other issues like what?

[Berethor]

Most men don't want used goods and other man's child, single mom is never first choice.

[Nikki1989]

The men who won't tend to be immature, spineless folk that can barely look after themselves. They are doing moms a favour by avoiding dating single mothers.

Single mothers are good for an occasional pump and dump, but nothing more. And I don't ever want to meet the kid (s).

[Asker]

Why do you feel that way?

[JamesRandiDebates]

Because I'm not interested in meeting her kids, nor taking on any of her single-mother debts.

I think most would prefer not to, but it isn't always a deal-breaker either.

Would you date a guy who spent time in prison?

[Asker]

Yes. If they learned from their bad choices I would definitely give them a chance.

[Opinion Owner]

Well it's kind of the same thing with a single mom. If she's learned from her mistake.

[Asker]

Exactly if it's one mistake she deserves the benefit of doubt but if it's two or more that is a red flag.

[Opinion Owner]

No. You can do it once and still not learn from it. That's why I didn't assign a number to it.

[Avicenna]

That’s correct

[Asker]

If they prefer not to then why do most guys do it?

[Avicenna]

Most guys don’t. Some do, but most don’t. And most of those who do would prefer not to if they had a better option.

[DerekC321]

Makes no difference. A woman is who she is.

[Arizona8]

It all depends on the man in question.
