They usually like to frick and are eager to please due to detrimental baggage

Pro: Juice boxes and little debbie snacks after you have relations.

Con: if you grow to like the kid break up will be difficult.

A single mom is far less desirable and has much lower value as a mate compared to a non-mom. Consider it from the point of view of the male:

1. The mom is a person who not only slept with, but gave birth to a child of an uncommitted, lower value male. This raises questions about the ability of the mom to make good decisions in reference to important issues such as sexual partners. If the male father was a high quality man, why couldn't she keep him? If he was a low quality man, why did she sleep with him?

2. The child is an additional factor that complicates the relationship. There are many issues the male might have to address such as what if the potential male partner doesn't bond well with the child?

3. The potential male partner must worry about and deal with the biological father, adding another complication into the relationship.

4. The child must be considered in every decision the couple makes (can't go out or do things unless a babysitter is obtained, all scheduling must be done around the care of the child, etc.). The child must come first to the mom, rather than male partner.

5. The potential male partner gets all the responsibility and no authority. He is expected to provide for the child but has no real authority in how the child is raised or other major rearing decisions (where to school the child, choice of doctors, choice of play mates, methods of discipline etc.).

6. When the potential male partner becomes attached to the child and the couple decides to breakup, the male will lose 2 relationships in the breakup because he has no claim upon the child, not being the biological father. So the male partner loses the relationship with his girlfriend and he loses the relationship with the child.

I could go on, but these make the point. As a single male looking for a relationship, why would a high valued male take these risks when there are plenty of single, non-mom females to choose from?

They’re actually fun to date. Typically done with all the BS so don’t play a lot of games. They’re usually horny.

Downside is relationships are tough as they are. Throw in somebody else’s kid, and ex that is always around or in the picture, and things aren’t as fun and go downhill quick after the initial infatuation phase.

Just think of all your friends or buddies that could never do anything and the excuse was always because of their kid. Now put yourself in their shoes, but it’s not even your kid!

Pro. One weekend child free… Usually.

Con. Weekend with baby where she can’t frick you. But you can do whatever with friends. So…. Con???

If you’re dating one with full custody? Run. There is a story there and it’s all con.

When your my age, they're all single mom's, now granted the kids are late teens or early 20s but it's hard to find a woman who hasn't been married or have kids in their 40s and if you do find one, there's something wrong with them. I sure don't want a chick in the their 20s

You can make their kids do stuff for you, ie, bring you a beer, etc.

A big one I didn't see mentioned yet:

She is permanently tied to her ex. They have a kid together, so there's a good chance he will be part of the equation.

That means that his parenting style will play a part in how the kid is raised. A shitty ex can destroy all the good parenting you and the woman implement in a single weekend. I see it with a buddy of mine. He and his new wife do their best to instill love and discipline in their kids, only to have one weekend with the ex wife frick it all up.

And it's a roll of the dice as to whether the babydaddy will be cool, or a complete a-hole. Or even worse, a psycho.

I dated a single mom with a PSYCHO babydaddy. Seriously. He refused to let her go and because they had a kid together he had permanent ties to her. He'd call her and leave voice mails that were a case study in mental illness. 45 minutes of non-stop stream of conscious mental vomit spanning every emotion from panic to sorrow to rage to grief. Not just one voicemail, constant calls. Especially when he knew she was with me.

She was an incredible woman and I actually think I would have married her if not for that evil bastard. It got to the point where I kept a gun on me when I was out and one close to the front door. I truly thought I was going to have to kill him.

The last straw was when he went to her parents house and took the kid from them. He held the kid hostage until she agreed to move back in with him. That was it. I knew I'd never be rid of him and I had to move on. Hurt like hell because I did love her.

They are still together. She and I have talked and she's miserable but can't (or won't) leave.

If you're dating a single mom and the ex sends off red flag vibes, hit and quit it before you get too deep in the relationship. Trust me.
