re: Does it annoy you when people primarily identify themselves as single mothers?

haha word

it was still going strong at the end but LA anchored the thread because his crappy thread wasnt getting any attention.

people were calling it a troll thread but i really wasnt

It's code for she's a whore

Yeah but why consider normal reasons behind why she told her she's a single mother when we can make large assumptions and act like we know the whole story?

And Jones, I read part of your thread and used to think like you until I spent some serious time in the shoes of a SAHM. Maybe some are like the ones in your OP, but a true SAHM like the one I spent some time with has me thanking God every day that I work a regular job. I bust my arse working, but no way would I trade it to deal with the stuff real SAHMs do. It's truly a thankless job and the one that I spent time with busts her butt every day.

That's my thought as well. She saw a woman taking out the trash alone, thought maybe they had something in common, and just started talking. People who tell you their life story in 5 minutes tend to be really lonely people in my experience.

This brings up an interesting situation that I'm encountering in my late 20s. Is it wrong that I don't want to date single moms?

Nothing at all wrong with that, it's your decision

Please do explain how living in an apartment is trashy.

It's overbroad, but there are definitely areas where living in an apartment is trashy. I'm sure plenty of those folks are hard working and not trashy themselves, but it's hard to escape the largely true stereotype (in those areas).

I mean, really, who gives a shite? That's not who you are as a person. And it's so widespread these days that it basically means nothing

A girl helped me take out my trash. I asked her if she'd lived in the apartments long. She said "since November, I'm a single mother."

how was that relevant? She then proceeded to tell me how trashy she is for the next 15 minutes

I don't understand the complaint. She's just breaking ice.

I was having a drink with a friend who lives in Baton Rouge the other day. He had recently joined match.com and let me look at girl's profiles on his app. 90% of the women within a 30 mile radius that I found attractive had kids. Most of whom had this as their opening line: I am a single mom and have (number of kids) who are my world. And then proceeded to talk about their kids and how the guy messaging them better be OK with that. They spent zero time actually describing who they are as a person. It was odd. Even putting pics of their kids on their dating profile page. Baton Rouge has a serious problem.
