I'll be honest. Early in my dating life I had the same attitude. I was a divorced father of 2.
My first long term relationship, the girl was a godsend in some ways. We didn't get married but she showed me how that line of thinking is flawed and can ruin the chances of developing strong ties to a new SO.
I had a very similar experience

Bro your life is like a car, you fricked it up so bad and it is now a total loss, no coming back. Your best bet is that reincarnation is real and you get a fresh start at the end of this go. I'd probably start drinking and smoking a lot to make the time pass faster and be less miserable.

Hinge
Nope.
Try Tinder or Bumble
Posted on 2/7/20 at 8:36 am to NeverRains
I prefer the dating apps that let you filter by "Doesn't have children".. Hinge lets you do it for like $9.99/mo. But it's worth it to avoid all the single moms on there. Unless you're looking to be a step-dad.
ETA: Per the poster above - I disagree. Hinge is far better than Bumble or Tinder. Tinder is dogshit if you want to actually meet a decent person to date. Although, these all depend on where you're using them. Using these apps in a city like Nashville is a guy's dream. When I used them in Baton Rouge I already knew half the girls on there and the other half had kids and/or were trash.

Not true at all. I'm 32 and found an absolutely perfect one 3 years younger than me in my 30s. No kids, never been married, has a good career and had her own house before moving in together, extremely attractive and has a level head on her shoulders.
I was in a relationship that lasted 8 years before her, and when that ended I panicked because I thought dating in my 30s would be a nightmare. I went through a couple girls that are exactly what this thread is about, one had 2 kids by different fathers and asked me to help pay her rent before the second date; I was OUT.
I stopped trying so hard and putting so much pressure on the situation and it seemed like my fiancee came out of nowhere, I wasn't even really looking. It helps that I'm fairly good looking and have my shite together, but they ARE out there.
TLDR moral of the story - patience and not trying TOO hard is the key

I’m not dating anyone, but if this thread is the way men really think then it’s probably not worth the effort.

If they have kids, red flag. If they don’t have kids, red flag. If they’re divorced red flag. Etc. Etc, etc, and so forth. Sounds like a bunch of dudes in here should be dating other dudes.

I'm 39. I divorced when I was 33. You're pretty much right. Man, I had some fun dating for 4 years, but I didn't get serious with anyone and took my time. There are a lot of crazies out there. I guess I went the young route, because my wife will be 25 this year. She is great, and I'm glad I didn't jump into a relationship with some of the others. I wasn't worried about being alone, so that helps. My ex was enough crazy for one lifetime.

I have a 73 year old uncle and 63 year old aunt. They got married at 29 and 19....after he had taught her in Sunday school. Pretty damn good marriage.

You're partially right. Anyway, I said I had some fun dating for 4 years before meeting my wife.

Same here. Here's my story. I have the same feelings as the OP. I said that I would never date a single mother but when I met her, I was 38 and finding a woman at that age with no kids was like finding a needle in a hay stack. Bottom line, if I was gonna consider a single mother, her values had to be aligned with mine. Here were my rules.
1. Only one kid
2. The kid had to be a girl. No boys. Boys need disciple and you cant discipline boys that arent yours. Or better, I dont have the energy to discipline a boy thats not mine.
3. The baby had to have been the product of marriage. Meaning, my wife and her ex husband got together, fell in love, got married and THEN had a baby. I would not consider being with a woman who randomly lets dudes bust off in her raw and leave her with a kid without him giving her his last name. It's speaks to her judgment and her value.
4. The dad still has to be in the child's life and contributing.
My wife's situation checked all of these boxes. We have no issues. My step daughter is amazing.
