alphas can date young, hot, women that have never had kids.


Assuming they can find one willing to date them.

Right. You completely avoid that even becoming an issue if you stay away from single moms. Thus the point of this thread.

You are partially correct. If it’s a single mom who left the guy before you, then run but if it’s a single mom who was abandoned by some douche then she has potential. If he left her because she was overbearing and controlling, then run but if she is genuinely kind but was dealt a bad hand then she is worth it

This is a small caveat from sure. Not something for me, but I do I have a family member who was in this situation. She was snatched up quick by a friend who had been in love with her before she was even married. Been a great relationship ever since. Her kid was super young, and calls him dad.

Important kicker though, is the piece where the guy gets no say in rearing the kid(s). That's unacceptable in a relationship. My family member was told by her parents early that if she was getting into another serious relationship that he needed to be respected as the man of the household. Especially if she wanted to have kids with him.

Essentially a couple needs to be each other's #1 priority. Otherwise it is set up for failure.

If you’re truly an alpha, you have young, desirable women lining up to date you. It’s not necessary to date single moms if you’re an alpha.

You can DATE a single mom without paying her bills or raising her children. You seem to be talking about MARRYING a single mom. And just learn to say no.

From a woman’s perspective, dating with kids is dangerous. A mother’s boyfriend is statistically the person most likely to sexually abuse a child. I just don’t think the risk would be worth it until kids are teenagers, at the youngest.

The age of her children also plays a large part in this decision-making criteria.


Absolutely this.

And the relationship with the ex.

Cull 'em out if they've been divorced 2 or more times

Done that too. I don’t want anymore kids but if God hooks me up with a new woman after this 6 year event of caregiving for my 89 year old mother kids ain’t shite!

I discipline the same for my kids as her kids which are mine and love them the same. Kids are malleable if that’s the right spelling?

Attention deficit kids of today I never faced that dilemma in life and don’t know how that would fit in to what I feel about things here.

I didn’t go through that at parent stage.

Dating is a bitch but I’ve never had a girlfriend/Wife less than a nine and I’m not going to settle for less.

I can respect not wanting to date a woman with a kid, but if you stay single long enough, you'll get to an age where that is pretty much your only option.

Not if you have money, status, and resources. My uncle is 58 and he just married a 27 year old woman.

Spot on, but the real answer is just dont date trash.

The jury I was on, we convicted a guy that did just what you're saying.

That said, the mom was trash, and she got convicted, too.

Likely not an option for 95% of dudes, and that's honestly kinda weird. That marriage probably has a pretty low chance of making it. The higher the age gap the greater the divorce rate, and it's not really even close.

Nothing weird about scoring young, hot pussy.

I lived in the Conch Republic for a spell in Key West at 49 years of age. I inherited a condo there and made a good living from a home office. I pulled in the hostess from the White Tarpon on Mallory Square. It was a wild ride. She was 25 and I knew she had a finance in NY and she was Russian.

I knew what I was getting into and ahead of the game. Fun times for sure I had a decent boat and could do all the fun things down there. Eventually that played out but you knew it would.
In dating never let love cloud judgement that’s where men frick up and I am the first to admit that mistake.

And losing half your shite. In 7 years, he'll be on Medicare and she'll be in her mid 30s. If she's still hot, there are rich dudes who are 38 that she could probably still marry. Good luck to him.

I'm 47 and married, but I have absolutely nothing in common with someone in their 20s.

You mean I could’ve found a guy who would financially support me and my kids and let me completely raise them the way I wanted with no compromises?

Damn! I’ve been doing it wrong for 10 years.

Too bad the kids are grown now and I can’t trap a new one.

Why are they single and who is the baby daddy?

A military widow and a mudshark are two entirely different things.

Back breaking tbh. You have to be one resilient motherfricker to survive that mentally and financially. Lesser men throw in the towel after two bad ones

I can’t even contemplate what ever dating again would even look like in my 50s. Thank god im nowhere near the walking hard-on I was in my 20s and 30s. Between raising my daughter, fishing/hunting, and looking after my mother who has early stage dementia, it could be years and years before pussy is worth anything to me
