Single moms... what do you feel?

[Anahita]

I am a single mom. I'd like to understand the dating stuff that goes with that...

31, single, cute. Might say hi, Sean.

Where do you live? Not that it matters, just interested.

One-way ... STAY AWAY FROM SINGLE MOMs. That is the ONLY real dating advice I can ever give you.

If I wanna go after her, that's my business.

I would love to know why you feel this way?

Re: Single moms... what do you feel?

There is just this inherent natural thing that kicks in ... you will ALWAYS be second in line to the kids. Furthermore, the chemistry of the brain of a single mom works very differently compared to a woman (with no kids) that is interested in dating, and maybe forming relationships. Of course this basically applies to young moms with young children. If the kids are teenage or older, then I don't think this really applies.

Personally for me, good parenting skills in women are very attractive and I suspect it is so with many other men out there. So if the single mom can show herself to be a good parent on top of being whatever defines a good woman in general, I think she could be more attractive than a woman without children who can't demonstrate such a skill. I think certainly the choice of men has to change. Perhaps older more mature men would have to be chosen in place of younger ones who would be more likely to prefer someone as inexperienced and new to the parenting world as themselves. Then again, even that is not necessarily fixed in stone.

Also, Sip, the fact that a mother would put her kids in front of her man is obvious and natural. That's the way it should be. I mean after a man and his woman have kids, the same thing will ensue. The children become the central thing. Certainly that doesn't mean that they don't passionately love each other anymore or don't like kinky sex in the kitchen ( ). It just means they care for their children a little bit more.

Nways, in summary, I think a single mom will have some advantages, as long as the types of men she choses are not scared of children or parenting, but she will also have some strikes against her, namely finding such men is harder than finding carefree guys who might be open to childrearing, but not right away.
