I work with a lady who has bragged about her $5000/month in alimony she gets from her ex husband. And she works with great benefits.

SAHMs can easily live a life of leisure if their ex husband makes a lot of money.




I feel confident in saying this doesn’t apply to the women OP is referring to. They were never married and the fella wasnt a high earner.

Its not ideal if you want a girlfriend but there are some constants about single moms I have come to enjoy.

1 you know they like sex
2 they dont have time to be all up in your shite
3 you will never be more important than their child
4 typically they are not looking for their next husband

You, around age 38 when the 24 yr old recent grads stop biting on Tinder.

So what is more desirable on a dating site?

Single divorced mom in her 40s
Divorced woman in her 40s with no kids

Both same level of attractiveness and assuming guy is 40s or older and doesn’t want more kids

I think what would be most desirable is someone being honest and true. You can't blanket a statement like that girl. Every guy is also different on what they find attractive.

Assuming their income and mental health is comparable, the lady with no kids.

Mental health would be my biggest concern.

I am so very thankful that Mrs. Bad93ex puts up with my stupid arse because the dating world seems like a cesspool.

So I went to high school with a girl that played this game perfectly. 5 kids by 3 different dads.

Dad #1 was a guy from our high school. Had two kids She got pregnant at like 19 and they got married and he worked a plant job. She divorced him.

Dad #2 was the dad of kid #3. He was a small town doctor. I don't think they were ever married, but child support still comes in.

Dad #3 was one of Dad #2's more successful friends from med school. He married her and moved to DFW and put all five kids in private school. He cheated on her and she divorced him.

The best I can tell, she's living it up as a single mom in the wealthy suburbs of Dallas these days. I know that kid #1 is at SMU now and kid #2 is a senior in high school. Youngest child is still not in school so she has a decade or better before she has to work on something else.

How so? What if she couldn’t have kids?

It terrifies me to think I might be thrown back into it. Just curious how close to the bottom of the dating barrel a woman in my situation would end up. Or if I should just go ahead and buy a bunch of pugs if I do find myself single again.

What I got.

Honestly, I learned, it's a lot more about the person than it is about their circumstances.

Step kids thrown in the mix complicates things. But it can be a positive too, if the kids like you and have no present father in their life.

Men that would message you more than likely have zero interest in having babies so no worries. Mentioning you want kids will be an easy way to send most packing.

Not terrifying but there are a lot of sluts and whores on there, both sexes. Makes it tough to find a good person.

It’s a real shame the government doesn’t do more for single moms

They could give them free orange clothes and a job stamping license plates

If I’m forced to start over I think I would want someone with kids this time

Then I could at least be a stepmom

My friend is my age and has no kids. She is marrying a guy with daughters who adore my friend. His ex wife gets along great with my friend as well (the two text each other all the time about the girls and their school stuff).

Very true.

I think we are quick to stereotype 30+ single women because of the vocal ones that stick out in our minds, but tons of perfectly decent people are single by no choice of their own.
