Can’t generalize like that. You may miss out on the perfect woman with those kinds of limitations. Other than blue hair and septum piercings, there are no generalized restrictions separating good women and bad women.

A lot of simps on this thread. Anything good you can get from a single mom you can get tenfold from a 23 year old.

I married a single mom 24 yrs ago.
Couldn't be happier.
13 years in here and happy.
Don't rush and plan on a long dating period to get a good lay of the land on where she's at mentally and how she views parenting roles. If you are dating one who says the break up was 100% ex's fault and if there hadn't been any self reflection on her part, run. It has to be clearly established prior to rings on fingers that you can and will have an equal say in rules and discipline in your house. Also, if she can't support herself and you are a financial life line, run.

Don't date a single mom with a non-existent father for her kids. Meaning he doesn't pay child support or see the kids consistently.
Well I broke all the rules and it worked out. Older stepdaughter's dad died when she was two. Younger's was always inconsistent in all respects. But I'm very happy to have all three of them in my life no matter how expensive they've been.
When we first got together my wife was always picking up other girls at the bar and bringing them home with us. That predictably ended once we got married but you gotta respect the tactics. Damn strong game plan.

I mean you can go ahead and make that your dating mantra, but then don’t be surprised when the size of your dating pool shrinks to the size of a bathtub.

Dating is OK. Just don’t marry them. You’ll be stuck financially and socially with somebody e else’s mess. Take it from someone who went down that road.

I’m a single dad in my early 40’s
No one without kids is going to date me unless their kids are grown.
I personally don’t want to date: someone 15-20 years younger and/or without kids.
Some of y’all have tunnel vision and see single moms just being on welfare

I made the mistake of dating (in my late 30's) a few women in their 40's with grown kids and a few in their early 30's with pre-teens. You aren't their friend. You aren't their dad. They look at you with distrust & skepticism and will work against your interests. Not to mention, you get the pleasure of meeting and dealing with 'dad' who will be there in your life to cause emotional stress to his ex and the kids.
As a veteran of those dating wars, I salute you guys who can do it. War is hell. So is dealing with single divorced women with kids. Good luck and congrats on getting laid.

brother you are on a roll this week. You OK?

I can see both side of it. However I think most of the time you'll be the extra. I see women with kids post pics on Facebook with some dude they are dating and the guy driving the car with them in the passenger seats going on some trip at his expense. Or pics of them sitting around the pool at a resort. The woman will have smirk on her face the other females on her Facebook, understand. Like got a sucker. Most of the time I think the dude is the atm.
I know guys who like the instant family thing. Not for me. I don't want to be responsible for raising another man's baby.
Some use men while other women, need a man and understand the male figure and role in a family.
Dating grandmothers can be just as bad. They always have the grandkids on the mind.

I don’t care how hot she is. She will hold you financially responsible for her children but you will have no authority in how they are raised. You will be reduced to an ATM machine.
Geez, you said "date", not "marry". Loosen up.
If I were young enough, and in the game, and wasn't in a serious relationship, why not date a HOT single mom? Even if you have to supply all the cash for dating, maybe even help out with a few other small expenses? Raising her kids is her responsibility if we are just dating. Keep out of it.
In that case, I wouldn't be with her so much that I might miss out on a serious relationship (heck, you might meet a nice girl through her friends or work contacts). She might have a hot, not-crazy sister, cousin.
And there is the chance that she's not a leach. While 'single mom' is a bright yellow flag, it sometimes happens through no fault of the woman. She could be a widow, or maybe the guy was a screw up that wasn't obvious at first. Maybe she did just make a mistake, and has learned. Not likely, but I don't like to paint with a broad brush. But, proceed with great caution.

Been married with stepson for nearly 40 years. You can’t paint all situations with one brush. I established the correct precedent from the beginning. My stepson and I are very close..

I guess it all depends on how generous you are and what kind of means you have to assist if needed. Lord, I won't be in such a position at my age but it's not all bad if you can help and the kids needs it. On the other hand, if she is just using you for the money then that's an altogether different situation and might be difficult to distinguish the two.

I disagree.
