Turnabout is fairplay.

    I feel less attractive...

    I work with a guy who refuses to date single mom's and I've talked to several men (not in a dating situation) that won't as well.
    I know I'm to a point where I instantly have my guard up...I just assume most men have an issue and really I'm sure they don't but its made things difficult

    **EDIT**

    After being primarily single for the past 3.5 years, I'm fine with staying a single mom at this point. I've been doing just fine on my own so far. If its not broke why "fix it"

    Not sure what prompted this, but I've been a single mother for 17 years and haven't noticed less male attention because of it. :-)

    I've lived with someone the last almost seven years, though.

    Oh, screw it. I tried to post a link to my "I (heart) Hot Moms" t-shirt, but it didn't work. :)

    Anyway, to answer the question, absolutely NOT. Divorce happens. Sometimes, through no fault of either party. There are times when both parties realize they're just not a match and are better off not being a couple. That's how it was with me when I was married (and divorced). It was probably the friendliest divorce ever, and we remained friends.

    And kids? The only issue there is that they can be an inconvenience in getting together, but true adults can deal with that and understand that the kids always come first. So no...kids aren't an issue either.

    The only thing that matters is, do the two people wanna be together? If so, previous relationships and children aren't the least bit important.

    I'm assuming the same woman if she were not divorced/single mother

    I dated a guy for a year who "would never date a single mother."

    Current man said the same, then married a woman who was a single mother and after they divorced ended up with me.

    They say they won't until the right single mother comes along.

    LESS i mean can u blame em? We have so much responsibility on our hands and things to take care of. being with a single mom is harder than with a mom with no kids, you just have to find the right guy who is willing to deal.

    the "divorced man" thread.

    I'm actually quite confident in being a single mother!

    Unfortunately, I think there is a social stigma about this......but one should never judge unless they know the circumstances.

    I was a single mom of two when I met my husband. Good thing he didn't think I was less attractive just because of the kids. And he had no experience with children at all (although he was 43 and I had two young children-ages 4 and 6). We have now added to the family and have five. He still tells me I'm H-O-T.

    I guess as long as you find a guy that's half blind....

    haha

    IMO, divorced women and single mothers are not less attractive but much more complicated which does factor in.

    That's part of the reason I'm still with my husband. 36 with 2 kids and health issues...yeah I'm not much of a catch :laugh:
