I am not going to make generalizations here, but I will make some observations about single moms if you choose to go down that path
1. Consider why she is a single mom
- If she was left for another women, she may be permanently damaged, tread with caution
- If an amicable "mutual separation", may be more worth looking into
- widows are probably the best ones, considering it was completely out of anyone's control
2. Understand how she views her child
- If she has the little fvcker on a pedestal, watch out!
- If she understands her child has issues, and is a "normal" kid like every other kid on this planet, that is a good thing
3. How quickly does she want to bring you into her kid's life?
- To me, anything less than 4 months clearly shows her intentions - she is looking for a provider
- If she holds out too long, she is probably damaged goods and afraid of commitment
4. Look at her situation
- Does she have a decent, well-paying job?
- Does she live on her own? Own or rent?
5. Look at her actions
- Is she lazy? i.e. does she think she needs to be taken care of when the child is not around? My ex acted like the world came to a halt when she didn't have her kid
- Does she clean? cook? take care of her body?
- Look at if she smokes weed a lot, drinks, parties often
- How many other men does she have in her life?
Of the 4 I have dated recently, they all display some of the negative actions here.
My ex - pedestaled child, every bad quality of #5, damaged from ex, lives with parents
E - probably the best of the 4. Has her own place, very giving, does not drink or party heavy, amicable divorce
S - smokes weed, appears lazy, left for another woman
N - everything bad....
Long story short, single moms get a bad rap because they possess tons of bad qualities. Single moms have even less quality women...
