Single motherhood is a dead end

With all due respect, I have observed many single mothers re-marry with no problem. It basically depends on how hot they are. I'm guessing OP is in his 20s. In my 20s I felt the same way. Maybe I still do, but as a 40 something I have observed different behavior. Many, many people in their 30s or 40s get remarried... And they all have kids. It is not at all uncommon.

Just offering perspective.

Most of those probably know more Spanish than English. Must be non-descript white males

It’s trashy to not want to date someone who already has a child from another man? Please, elaborate if so

A good mom wouldn't be divorced and single at such a young age

---

My “father” left my mother — after nearly two years of marriage and a few months into a pregnancy. He was cheating before as well as during (she was beyond naive and didn’t know). She even wanted to try to work it out. So who’s the a-hole and poor parent there?

Don’t lump all divorced women into one group. She was college educated and far from dumb as was he but couldnt help but act the fool. And fwiw, my step dad just as soon be my daddy and I count my blessings everyday that he married my mom despite her having me as “baggage” and treated me nothing other than his own.

LOL no offense but there are a TON of bitter fricks in this thread. If you're in your 30's, have a decent job, in decent shape and have some social sense, you can do well. There are a ton of women in their mid to late 20's who are single, in their prime and WITHOUT kids. Seriously, not sure where y'all are experiencing "every girl over the age of 24 has a kid, etc.."

I ran this gauntlet through most of my 30’s and it is definitely a slog. I ended up hitting the jackpot with a single mom and we’ve been together over 10 years and have a pretty amazing marriage.

I can give advice on this subject with credibility.

If you are looking at a woman with kids and thinking long term, there are a few things you want to look at outside of the normal things you would look for with regards to this:

Here is the checklist:

*Financially independent. She has a good job/career and provides for herself and her kids.

*She has only one marriage and the marriage lasted 5 to 10 years.

If you meet a single mom in her late 20’s or early 30’s that checks off those two boxes especially, she is very likely not a train wreck.

Dude I’ve lived Baton Rouge my entire life and WAS newly single at age 29 a few years ago. I can tell you that this is not the case. When there’s a will there’s a way. There are plenty of attractive, educated single women in there mid 20’s. I’m sorry but you’re just wrong. Sounds like a lot of people such as yourself are making excuses. Maybe YOU’RE the problem.
