Where It’s Not Safe
Not always.

I can see that with young mothers.

Definitely not with moms in their 30s.
That father is always gonna be in her life or connected with her

I can be replaced

Im not saying dont do it, but know what u getting into

Most guys just dont wanna do it

Not sure but I think ladies prefer different guys at different stages which is fine; it might be the case that she is actually settling for you.

Ask yourself if she would be checking for you prior to having a kid

Uh, what if the couple amicably split? Why is the onus on the mother for creating a child and being the sole person to raise it?
Cause a single dad don’t gotta worry about his new wife raising another woman’s kid :yeshrug: it’s a double standard but it is what it is...the mother 9/10 keeps the child...it’s easier for a single dad to date and start over than a woman...

I am a single man in this situation...and I'm going to whole-heartedly say...."Yes"...:ohlawd: Mind you...I've been wit my lady about 10 yrs. Can't help but wonder if she would do the same if the shoe was on the other foot...or she could move anyway she wanted to move...:mjpls: Its only natural to have those thoughts. Luckily...I've kept my mind sane by dabbling from time to time...but you can't help but wonder...:patrice: You would obviously have to be settling tho since your someone with no restraints...whereas she has em.

If the kids are yours.....you're definitely not settling. Look at LeBron. Savannah was "technically" a single mother for 9 years before Bron finally put the ring on her finger.:troll:.

If the woman makes you happy and you're prepared to help raise children, go for it. On a side note, some of the best (redacted) I've ever had was from single mom's looking to have some side fun. Women ages 30 to 45 :ahh:

Most men still wont want her

Shes got ties to her childs father

Well doesn't that suck. But, if she's a single mother, isn't it potentially damaging to her child?. Im mentioned this in another post, but women are trapped in this social paradox, whatever path they choose vilification will follow.

I don't plan on getting married yet, and tbh I don't see it (neither do I want any children), my mind might change later, but when people ask me abut my future they are shocked that I don't want to get married and have children. Life in general taught me that society won't see women as sentient beings capable of human error— thats only reserved for men. Comments I read on this everyday continually reaffirm this notion. I ignore most of the garbage said about women in the locker room cuz its just so much and not worth getting into.

& before someone tells me to join lipstickalley- fukk you alot of them are unhinged, I hate their web layout it gives me a migraine.


&yes I am pmsing.

People can do whatever they want. I don't see myself doing it because I don't want deal with another dude. I grew up in a two parent household, I hope to do the same thing. My friend was setting me up with this single mom, she had a kid, two stem masters...but the child she had at 20 was with a bum ass nicca and dude has multiple babies...i am not signing up for that.

We hear women preaching daily about not settling for less when choosing men, but we never hear what settling means to men. Seems they want use to take any type of woman. Men are expected to except any size, color, attitude and women with kids.

So i ask you, would you consider yourself settling when being with a single mother?

We are getting to a point in society where women are just garbage.

There's no standards anymore for anything, so why even critique?

This is our society now. :yeshrug:
