I've dated my share of single moms who spend half of their time complaining about what a piece of shite their babies daddy is. I'd tolerate it for a while but, eventually hit them with "The guy was a piece of shite when you fricked him. Take some personal responsibility."

Internet has ruined dating but I blame men. Men for the most part are pathetic simps and drool over fatasses and ugly women which drives their egos through the roof.

One of the most wrong-headed aspects of single mothers is the idea that they're "victims".


They're either the shitty one or they picked the shitty one.


They definitely make sure to carry the resentment and thrust it on the next guy.

Is there another another LLOTOT regular beside you that hasn't been divorced at least once?

unless he was just a big liar - promised a bunch of things as long as she was putting out - the minute she gets pregnant and there has to be any shread of responsibility- he’s gone

The internet, online dating sites, and social media in general has really done a number on both genders’ expectations and connection to reality when it comes to dating (among other things).

My wife has several single friends in their 30s and childless. They’re responsible and make good money, but all seem to expect Matthew McConaughey to arrive on whatever dating site they’re on. Every date has something to pick apart and “he was nice but not the one.”

There is a 90% chance they will all be old maids in 20 years and I’m not exaggerating.

This is why a family/friend/community support network is important. They can see things you don't.


In modern dating those networks are rarely at work.

When a family/friend is making a shitty decision then you call them out or make them aware of the behavior.

I think that the imagined supply of potential significant others has crippled our ability to find contentment. Studies have shown that oftentimes when people have too many options, they have difficulty making decisions and can have issues with choice overload.


Dating apps and Instagram have really exacerbated this. Women have always been more choosy than men, but it used to be that they still had to gauge genuine interest in them via real life face to face meetings. Things like Tinder make it seem that they have thousands of men lined up waiting for them. That has to distort their decision process by distorting their perception of value.

Unless the person has every single person who has met him sing his praises. Those amazing actors do in fact exist.

took 9 pages to get here. thank you.

how about be responsible for your actions. intended results, or unintended results....your past decisions put you where you are right now. accept that, and do better in the future.

and they don’t listen - for example - my brother - married a stupid bitch - we all told him

5 years later she leaves him & their child bc apparently his 6 figure salary and the fact he’s 6’3” wasn’t good enough

People don’t listen, sometimes families don’t say anything, or families are fooled as well

as far as the OP's reference single mom- if she doesn't feel the attraction to him that will last long term, then I think it's wise of her to question if she should stay long term- even though the dude seems to be top-notch for the kid.



agreed, but she should be realistic about her chances of someone "better" coming along. It would probably serve her better to try and work out any issue she has and talk to her current partner.

probably lol, but its a boring monday afternoon so here we are discussing it.

This board, and honestly probably more men than would openly admit, have a substantially lower view of single women than that of the single dad who helped create the child.


yeah, i think this is true. I dont have a lower view of any single parent. shite happens for a lot of different reasons, thats life. the thing i find peculiar is the single parents who cant fathom that being a single parent isnt going to be a turn off for a lot of potential partners and think they are a perfect "10/10". If you surveyed any number of people, id be willing to bet the majority of responders would not want to have a serious relationship with a single parent. That's goes back to my "value" comment. it lowers your value in the dating pool as it make you less desirable over all. It doesn't lower your value as a human being. i did not think i needed to make that distinction given the thread OP.

quote:

Having a child doesn't make that person of lesser value than that of the person who does not in the relationship. It does however have everything to with one's personal preferences in dating. But to say that a single parent (male of female) is of less value and worth, solely because they have a child, is horseshite.

In the context of a dating pool it does. But perhaps value is the wrong word since its inferring they are a less valuable person as a whole. Lets replace it with desirable. They will be much less desirable to a large number of potential partners.
