Are men really turned off by single moms?

Look I hate to break it to you but women with children have extra baggage and that's even if you've got the most amically split ever. If you have a child or more than one that's more of your time spent on that child/ren and less on building foundations with the new dude.

Next you have planning of dates if your a single parent you most likely hang at home with your kids a lot, which means nothing can be spontaneous no quick outings or a bite here or there. It'll have to be a Saturday that time or else and that's it. Most people without kids don't understand it, and if you bring your kid with you it'll have to be child friendly and you won't have the relaxed mum you'll have the one who's prepared for all her child's needs.

With this you have the ex, where is he? How much involvement is there? Is she going to end up cheating with the ex? How involved is he with the child? Does he help with the cost of the child?

Lastly you have the relationship with the kid, How old is the kid? Are you allowed to discipline the kid? Is the kid going to accept you or hate you cause you're not their dad? Or hate on you cause you're taking mum away? How hurt will you be if the relationship ends and you don't see the kid again? If the option is there would you adopt the kid? Would you be the stepfather of the child? Will you feel guilty for ending a relationship cause you like the kids but not the mum?

And this is just the top of my head, everything I said here is all things the guy would have to consider when dating a single mum. All of this is on top of whether she's a good person have things that you both have in common and all the other things you'd normally have to consider when in a relationship.

You can get lucky I'm not saying that no one will want to date you it can happen. It's more likely that it'll be another single dad, but not always. But I'm not counting my chickens anytime soon, I made my bed and I definitely could have made better choices. The best thing you can do is just work on yourself as a person and be a great mum.

I usually would not respond like this but WOW! some of the guys responses really got my knickers in a twist. They immediately remind me of this man that skipped out on child support and then denied he had any children. Why? Well because he couldn't get himself a younger woman that didn't have kids interested in him.

Now I can accept that kind of mind frame from men that have not ventured down the path to have a family yet, understandable but just remember it's not all about what you think it may be. Money included.

Be open minded as for all you know not only is she very beautiful, sexy, classy, wealthy and independent, she doesn't need your money and she can easily arrange for a sitter if she chooses to. Her kid or kids are also schooled, well mannered and respectful. She doesn't need a replacement daddy to survive just a real man that wants to show how good he can be for her and maybe make an effort to be a positive role model for her kids to know that not all men are utter... (ladies I'll let you word that part).

Datboi65 · Accepted Answer

It's a failed society if we even have to argue about the basics.

Yes, most men are turned off by single mothers. No, they are not "insecure" or "don't think they have what it takes" it's just that nobody likes liability. No, it doesn't mean that they hate kids either.

I'm surprised at the lack of common sense a lot of these women debating this question have. Why is that any of your business as a single mom why random men don't want you? This is a free society, nobody should be forced to be with anyone that they don't want to be with and they don't need to explain their reasons to you. If you don't think that's fair, too bad. Life is not fair. It's not fair why some people are born as trust fund babies while others work long hours and never become successful, yet it HAPPENS. You have to continue living and stop crying about things that are outside of your influence. You should've made better decisions, but now that you're here you cannot undo a child so you're just gonna have to settle for whatever you can get. You gave away your advantage, so you don't get to dictate how the negotiation takes place.

And to all of those people who don't like ehat I said, go touch some grass. You asked for an opinion, I gave my opinion. Don't ask people what they think about a problem if you cannot handle the response.

PlacentaSalad · Accepted Answer

I think that it's mostly a turnoff in men who either do not yet have children of their own, or who have chosen that they do not want children. Because while your children are not his and you might tell him that he is not obligated to care for them, the children are still going to be apart of his life and he's going to feel that obligation, anyway. There's also always that worry of her having a crazy ex-boyfriend/husband who he is going to have to deal with as well.

After 30+, if you are single and in the dating scene then a single mother is just something you are going to have to come to accept as a possibility if he wants companionship. The plus side to this is that the older she is, the more likely her child (ren) are also of an age where they can act independently of him and the mother. At an older age for him, he's more likely to have kids as well and be accepting of her also having kids, or he's realistic enough to understand that a lot of women his age are going to have children by then.

Is that really fair if she is like 25 and wants companionship with a male around her age? Perhaps not, but with young kids and young adults comes a lot of drama and risk of problems involving ex-lovers so I can understand why a lot of men might be averse to single mothers.

Apple1996 · Answer

The only men that would be turned off by it are the ones that know they are not good enough to be a male role model for the child. Its a very big red flag if men are like this so stay away from those saying this. They most likely wouldn't be good partners in a relationship either.

Find the good ones they are out there. I've heard a statistic that single moms are 10% more likely to find their true love then regular single women since they know what they are looking for from a man.

Avicenna · Answer

Hugely, no matter what the cheerleaders for single moms say

pervertedjester · Answer

No we are not but the stats don't lie in this regard. Parents will default to parents for a relationship every time. Most times they go back to exes, rarely do they find another compatible parent to date. Single people without kids will always feel second place, sometimes third or more when trying to steal personal time away from kids.

Anonymous · Answer

Apple1996 is an idiot. I like how a lot of women call out men, that were the scum of the earth for having standards because we won’t date single mothers or obese women, etc. There’s a lot of men just like there’s women who won’t date single parents. It’s not a complete turn off, but a lot more obstacles to maneuver through that could potentially chase him away. There are some men who can’t have children who are ok w dating a single mother. Maybe he’s already had children of his own so he’s ok w it, or he had a step father growing up who was good to him. I’ve been w my girl for 14 years, she was a single mother. Complicated situation when dealing w single parents. You’re always competing w the children for time as they will always come first. So if you’re not up for that find someone w no children. She can’t always just get up to leave on a random trip. Dad may still be around, he may be a good dad or a complete tool. She doesn’t want you to discipline the children but expects you to protect them all when things happen. It’s just too much. If I had the info I have now when I first met her chances are we wouldn’t be together.

Guanfei · Answer

No, but there are more issue dating a single mom than just a single woman.

First, you'll always be second to her, never a priority, and often that means you'll see her only when she doesn't have the kids. Considering how much more often women get child custody, that means very little time for you to build a relationship.

Second, it can be emotionally hard, as you can love the woman, but if you don't get along with the kids, it won't work. Or, you get along well with the kids but it doesn't work with the woman, and then you can't see them anymore, which is pretty sad.

And third, you'll never be the dad. You'll always be the woman's boyfriend, even if you live together, and you won't have any right to treat the kids as your own, whether it's for love, or discipline. Even the real dad has more right than you on this.

Basically, dating a single mom is being third. Kids, then real dad, and then you.

Peter_Penetrator · Answer

Too many dudes can’t handle not being the center of a woman’s attention. He wants all of her.

A mothers child is the center of her attention. Until her and her children become older and the children become more independent of her. Then mom will have more time for herself.

There is a phenomenon known as being “Touched Out” amongst mothers with newborns. That newborn needs so much of mom’s physical contact and is always grabbing at mom, mom just gets to a point she is repulsed by being touched by anyone. Husband, their older children, friends, family and boyfriends.

Now some unstable mothers (Susan Smith), will drown their children and blame it on carjackers, because the men they are with don’t want a woman with kids. The unstable mothers is too afraid of losing that same man.

ZackBan · Answer

Depends on what we mean by "turned off"

Sexually I'd say it's irrelevant, a man can be physically into a woman who's given birth before.

As far as relationships go absolutely.

I won't even sugar coat it, men don't just at the opportunity to raise someone else's kid, some would do it but only because they're desperate to settle down with someone and don't wanna be single again after having met the mom.

I'm not saying this to discourage single moms but to discourage younger girls from going out getting knocked up by a bum who won't stick around and thinking all will be good.
I dated a single mom for a while she was the most miserable person I ever met. An amazing woman, but the ammount of regret she had made it impossible for her to make the most of life

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Yep, definitely a dealbreaker and red flag.

If she can't choose the right partner before having sex, there is no way to verify that she actually loves me.

I could be just another mistake, and I won't know until she dumps me later on, and if she's willing to hump mistakes, and she gets pregnant again, I'm stuck dealing with her even after the breakup (because of our kid existing), and I REFUSE to stay in contact with any ex for any reason, so thats a firm no.

Women who make sure it's the right guy before having sex, are more certain of both what/who they want, and how to tell if a guy is actually that kind of person. If she's an attractive virgin in her late 20s-40s, and wants to have sex with me, I know she's serious about commiting and making sure she is picking the right guy.

Also no self respecting guy wants his wife's ex around, and expecting us to raise his kid is just insulting. I also don't want children at all, so there's that.

luvstoned4him · Answer

I know in my country the guys I've had this discussion with has expressed their distaste for taking single mothers because they don't like the idea of raising or spending money on another man's child. That's not to say that all are like that. If you want better luck, it's best to target men who have kids as well but are looking to make a serious commitment to you (like marriage) and not just get you pregnant in order to be with you (, which is the case I've seen with some in my country). So I won't say all hope is lost and sometimes there is a rare chance you may actually run into a guy who has no kids but can love yours as his own.

Samantha36 · Answer

Well after I split from my kids father I was set on staying single. I was 34 years old with 2 girls, unable to have any more due to medical reasons. I had no time to date so went on tinder for hook ups. That's how I met my boyfriend. He was a hookup. A 36 Yr old gorgeous bachelor with no kids, a good job and a ton of friends... he could have any woman. He for some reason wanted more and convinced me to try another relationship... and here we are 2 years later and very happy. Mu kids love him. Their dad is a good dad and is heavily involved. Free babysitter! My boyfriend takes us out, treats us, looks after us but he won't ever gey too involved with "dad" things. Such as parents evening etc.

He is sees me 1st as a woman, not as a mum. He's not insecure or immature like most men so he doesn't see it as bringing up another man's kids. He's there friend not daddy no2.

So there are good men out there for us single mums

Singing_Hollow · Answer

It does take a special kind of man to take on another person's child, it doesn't mean all men should as it is a huge financial responsibility, however with that being said most younger men with less life experience won't want to take on that responsibility, it takes a lot of maturity too.
Being a single mom isn't a 'dirty' thing. Many reasons for why we are single moms. Mine is that my daughters dad was abusive and used drugs. I didn't know this when i met him and our daughter wasn't planned so I had to leave for the safety of my child and the dating world wasn't nice to me but I did meet a man that has taken on the 'father' role and stood up to that plate because another man didn't and I love and respect him for that. Men shouldn't just judge why a mom is single, trust me its a tough job so if we choose to be single its because at the time it was whats best for our children.

provokeesmokee · Answer

Can't speak for your average man - I think most men on GaG would be the type to (grossly and wrongly) think of single moms as "used goods".

But for me, it's not a turnoff, really. It's an irreconcilable difference.

I don't want kids and don't want to be a mother. It would be really unfair and disgusting of me to force myself into a relationship with a mother just to be unhappy. And that would make her and her kid unhappy, which isn't the goal.

I'd be friends. Hell, I'd be friends with benefits, but I wouldn't want to stop her and her kid from finding someone who will love them as a family, as they deserve.

mstbooblover · Answer

Honestly I'm not at all turned off by single moms. Nevertheless, the real practicla problem remains the children's reactions, which can make a hell of their mother's and her partner's lifes, often because of the memories they have of their biological father. In conclusion I dare to state that if the guy succeeds in being accepted by the kids, the mom won't be the problem ;0)

Keep in mind that the mom's position is difficult when she has to choose between her children and her partner, and I bet that generally the children will win...

nathanp97 · Answer

I think it depends on the age of the kids and parent. A toddler and younger is likely a big turn off, a young mother is aswell because it shows poor life choices. A guy and girl in their 30s won't be a big deal if the kid is like 5 for most.

After that it really depends on how you handle the relationships and merge them together over time. Lots don't work out, because after moving in or getting close the new guy is expected to act like a father without given the same abilities to punish the kid without the mother getting mad, etc...

Sasha0426 · Answer

Most are. And they are so fucking rude about it too. Ok, I get they have a preference but why bully and insult single moms like that? Good thing they’re showing their true colors because no mom would want someone like that around their kid (s) anyway.

mattclark242 · Answer

No most men love single mom (some just for sex). being a single mom just make life harder. The longer a man wait the more girl he know will have a kid. To a point where if he want to date at all he have go out with a single mom.

There a lot that come along with that. It ok but it all about if he want it or not. Some guys want that and some guys love that and some do not. It all about what a person want to have in his life.

why not one say anything about single dads?

I get moms need love to.

I would date a a single mom but the one I know want be single and have a friends with benefits thing.

I want someone be with for the rest of my life I want care about her but she not want me to. I think she happy I do care about her.

She likes dating a lot of guys.

DextroShade · Answer

Yes, men are inherently turned off by single moms for both biological and practical reasons. Biologically it is a bad move for a male to invest his effort and resources into another's offspring which is why male lions kill the cubs when they take over a pride. Practically it is a very bad deal for a man because they will be expected to provide for a kid who he has no authority over and cannot discipline. He will likely have to deal with the baby daddy and the drama that entails. Also will always be the woman's second priority at best, more likely he will be below the child, the mother, and the baby daddy. Finally, if he does form a bond with the child and the woman leaves he will not have any rights to that child at all. Conversely there have been cases where the men have also had to pay child support after the relationship ends. If he's a single dad it can work as a blended family, but childless men are wise to avoid dealing with single mothers for anything beyond bedroom fun.

dragoblack · Answer

Yep, because when dating a mother the child is part of the package deal, even if the mother thinks otherwise. When dating a mother, you need to understand that the kid comes first and raising a kid may mean dates and intimacy time are rare. Whether the mother thinks so or not, you will be part of that kids life, because you are with the mother. You can not date a mother and not interact with her kid.
It's a big responsibility right from the moment you date the mother, and not a lot of guys are ready for that, nor the sacrifices it brings.

BlackJeep · Answer

My kids are adults and all have good careers and I've tried to date single moms in the past and they all had bratty kids. A couple times 1 parent was trying to buy the love of the kid so these kids were just too spoiled. Nothing against the moms for me but if it's a package deal, I'm out.

CaptainOverthink · Answer

Sexually? - No. Can still be hot.

Relationship-wise.. uuhm yeah.
Mostly. Or just much higher standards and require a level of maturity from both men and women and a mutual understanding that is mostly seen with people in their 40s or above.

lightbulb27 · Answer

Not true… depends on dude… his training, experiences and emotional makeup

Its a unique calling to be willing to love another woman and mans kids.

I was turned off earlier in life pre christ. After christ i had much more heart to give and share.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

That would depend on the single mom.

The hookup single mom or the ex boyfriend single mom are totally different from the widow single mom who got married then had children.

Single moms just present a big burden to deal with.

For one the children aren't the man she will be with and that alone come with a lot of baggage.

Not to be mean but yes overall single moms are a turn off for most men because there's no upside to being with a single mom if she has small kids.

hello123456789 · Answer

Most single and childess men are turned off by single moms.

Why would a man want to take on another mans responsibility?

Now if the guy has kids already... that might be a different story. It all depends. Men know that single moms are a package deal situation. He has to accept a woman AND her kids. Thats a lot. Not to mention the potential drama from an ex.

Billlewis · Answer

No, not at all. As a longtime cuckold who is never allowed to have any penetrative sex whatsoever, if she already has a child, that makes it easier for her to keep me sexually frustrated and not have to worry about who's going to get her pregnant, if she wants a child.

Anonymous · Answer

Single moms are only good for hitting and quitting. Why would a man agree to take care of another man’s children. A kid is a financial commitment regardless if dad is involved. I’d rather have my “firsts” with a first time mom. For example first time parents, first time family photo, etc. You get the idea. If dad is in the picture then your whole relationship depends on him. Meaning if he refuses to take the kids out of spite or if he goes away for a weekend your life is on hold and now you can’t just go out on date night like you had planned because mom has to take care of the kids.

Miristheiss · Answer

I do not want a woman who has already given birth to some other man's child

I want us to be her focus and priority. If she has a kid then that is out the window.

I want single people, alone time with her not a ready made family.

Only if I were a single dad would I consider a mom. Single dads would be their best dating options.

Curmudgeon · Answer

Not necessarily. However, "Ceteris Paribus" (all other things being equal), yes, absolutely.

That is, between two otherwise compatible women in terms of looks, intelligence, kindness, diligence, compassion, etc., the one without children will be preferable.

molonski2 · Answer

Look , there is nothing wrong with it , but it comes with massive challenges also , I've done it a few times , dependent how the relationship is going as to the role I will take with the child , with regard to participation. Just as many women would never consider single fathers ( of which I was one , difficult ) , many guys may exclude single mothers and thats fine too , you are taking on a lot.

Equal and opposite , is only fair , no difference.

Anemone978 · Answer

Usually only to guys with no kids.. When I was younger and childless I was like nah I will never date a guy with kids. Reason being you don't have any and you want to start a fresh family of your own not some broken thing.. lol But obviously if a single dad wouldn't date a single mom he is trash anyways lol

Filthy_Immigrant · Answer

Hell yeah! I’m not gonna…

Raise someone else’s kid

RavVid · Answer

There are certainly negatives. I wouldn't. At a point though women that are available to a guy most likely come attached with children so I imagine it is a given and if they have children then they can't complain much.

I have options so I wouldn't.

Fireguy17 · Answer

I never was.

The biggest thing was how they go along with the ex.

Was there a constant battle, going to court all the time, the kids were being used as pawns for every little thing.

Then that was just too much drama.

I had a long term relationship with a woman that had 3 kids.

I got along fine with them.

There was a little drama which was to be expected.

It was just fine.

nawtee_me · Answer

Not at all, but the thing is most single men want to have their own kids too and some single moms don’t want more kids.
I married a single mother of two with a third on the way. Then we had one as well. I raised them all as mine with no difference. That would not have happened if she wasn’t willing to have one with me too.

DarkLegacy · Answer

Yes we are, why should we bring up someones elses kid, and we will never be put first in that relationship. Besides we will be undermined when it comes to discipline of the kid. And furthermore most single mums are trying to settle down with guys they would have rejected when they were younger.

FatherJack · Answer

I'm a single dad , & knew when I took the decision to bin my ex & take on full custody , I would have zero chance in the " dating " world. As I'm too content being single , I never plan to " date " anyway., Very few people want to be responsible for children that are not theirs , that's life & also evolutionary biology at work

LiamJHayden · Answer

To me it depends. For example, if she adopted a young relative rather than allow the child into the system, or is a faithful widow, it would not be an automatic "No." If she is the meme never married mom of four or more from multiple baby daddies, that is a hard pass.

serious_miss419 · Answer

So much guys elaborate how a single mom is baggage and a red flag. But gosh you guys, your attitudes are massive baggage and red flags that contribute to guys being kidless from their ex he had kids with.
I do enjoy irony and a good chuckle. Good question girl!

Jamie05rhs · Answer

We're not "turned off" per se. Someone can become a single mom for a number of reasons. It's just that those guys looking for a serious relationship will be looking at the big picture and taking the prospect of becoming a stepdad into consideration. And a lot of us don't even know if we're ready to become a dad, let alone a stepdad.

Anonymous · Answer

It's a simple matter. No matter what attributes a single Mom has, there is a completely single woman somewhere that has either the same or more. Thus there is no logical reason for a man ever to date a single Mom over a woman that is completely single.

kellytheman · Answer

I have dated single hot mamas before and I have to admit I like it. We did have to plan when we get frisky or work around to have fun so her kid didn’t walk in on us. I did get caught when I was with a single mom and daughter walk in on us while her mom was riding me and us both cumming.

scott5 · Answer

Maybe it will change with age, but currently yes. At 22 I certainly am not looking to care for another man's children. Having kids is 100% one of my life goals, but I also want to already marry the woman and be financially stable before I have kids, not already have them be apart of the package deal. For me a woman already having kids is a deal breaker

GreenLanternI0I · Answer

Yes. Single moms are the most dangerous women. Because they are willing and prepared to pretend to be anything their partner wishes them to be so they can get into his wallet and bank account.

Anonymous · Answer

For the 100th time, men don't dislike single moms per se. But you have to understand a single mom to a man is about as attractive as a homeless guy is to a woman. Single moms are bad gambles. Relationships are risk vs. Reward. And single moms are simply too much risk.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, because of the attitudes, not to mention the litany of obvious risks trailing behind them. I don't have time to get into all of it or of my own personal experiences in dozens of states, but I can just say I'd be a lot better off just flushing all my cash down the toilet, sucking down a bucketful of pills, heading straight to the nearest jail and start banging on the door, begging to be let in.💯

Kiran_Yagami · Answer

Men aren't turned off by single moms. Men are turned off by not being priority #1, being a walking ATM, having to deal with baby daddy drama, risking having to pay child support for a child that isn't even ours, emotional baggage, and being unable to discipline a child living under your own roof. A single mother is not inherently an undateable woman, but most single mothers choose to be undateable.

rm_llort · Answer

Yes not because they're a single mum though. Its because they must be such an awful a person for a man to abandon his children to get away from her. Equally she'd have to be awful to leave her baby dad and deprive their child of a natural relationship with their father. Either way its not a good reflection on her.

Losalt · Answer

I don't think that it's so much turned of as being cautious.
I think most guys are open to the idea.
But it can also be a sensitive situation and includes a lot of added considerations.
On the whole it's probably still okey for most guys.

Maybe for practice that's about it maybe and that's if a man is dying desperately no offense just truth

If the kids are graduating high school, fine. I didn't have kids, for a reason. I'm not going to be their stand-in daddy. If she can handle all that then it's less of a turn off.

I can only speak for myself. And my answer is that if anything, I find single mothers MORE attractive, if they are a good mother with a well behaved young child. There are some absolutely gorgeous single mothers, their kid would have to be Damian to put me off lol

Last single mom destroyed my heart with a rejection, and so did the one before her. Having children of your own from past relationship/marriage is not a red flag or a taboo. It is not a deal braker.

you can never talk for "everyone" with this kind of question. tho i'd argue, if you had all the fun with making the child (ren) why should i take the sesponsibility for them without having had any of the fun of it?
