Yes, dating websites are filled with single mothers who are past their prime and are looking for a chad that can support them.

I don't understand

So being a mother makes you "damaged goods"?

Would a single father also be "damaged goods"?


Well it is almost impossible to meet a single mother who doesn't come with baggage: Baby daddy issues and children who don't submit to step fathers.

When a woman dates a single father in many cases she’s not expected to be a nurterer or financially support another man's children while a man is expected to do those things plus be around her kids more than his own.

That's just a math problem

Cause it's like 80% men, 20% women on dating sites, so even if every woman matched, that means at best 1 in 4 men would get a match

It's unbalanced not because women are too picky, but because it's just not an accurate reflection of real life populations where there are slightly more women than men.


Women can be picky when it comes to online dating. It is no coincidence why the the top 10 percent of men get 60 percent of the matches on dating apps.

This is a generalization though. There are millions of blended families in this country alone that exist normally. Not everyone is "damaged goods" because their relationship with their children's parent didn't work out.

When i was younger i used to think that way, and I was flat out wrong. You'll learn that things aren't simply black and white when it comes to single parents. Sh*t happens man, people are complicated.

Now whether someone doesn't want to date a single parent is a personal choice. And that is 100% fine. But that doesn't automatically make single moms damaged people.

Yeah same, but sometimes the penis has a mind of its own and just ends up photobombing selfies. It's not easy being a man :cry:

Online dating apps are a literal sausage party. I dunno how some guys do it.

A post of mine that Mr.DollarBills disagrees with? I thought I'd never live to see the day.

What I mean by damaged goods is that the woman carries baggage from their previous relationships. It doesn't mean that just because she has a child or children that she is incapable of making a man happy or functioning in a family. But speaking from first hand knowledge there is a lot of crap that a man will have to tolerate in order to make a relationship with a single mom work in the long run.

I don’t know if this is helpful, by me, my brother, and my uncle all met our wives through online dating. We all used different sites. I had a lot of bad dates from online dating. I would usually have a first date at Buffalo Wild Wings. That way, if they stood me up, were ugly, or boring, I could watch sports.
