Sure why not? They gotta learn sometime that they are gonna have to date down if they wanna keep a guy around when they have that kinda baggage. I went out with one once, she was fun. Never gotten into a relationship with one though.

If I was a single mom I'd look for a simp. Best bet.

If they don't expect you to be a father figure, have some times alone without the kid present in the home, and are dtf without many expectations sure.

Hard to get that combination because they're single mothers. anything short of that combo and you're going to be miserable with it or feel weird about it.

I've self-sabotaged my chances with multiple single mothers upon quickly finding out they are one.

If you want to seriously try one out though if she's hot, you could tell her you are aiming for something more relaxed and casual at the moment and that you don't think it would be fair to be directly involved with the child's world under those circumstances.

Worst she can say is that they are a package deal or that she wants someone who wants her kid and you can next under the pretense of caring about the kid. Or best case, she'll say she has free time and is dtf

Definitely don't upgrade past plate, but I'm sure you already know that

But should I give these girls with kids a shot to be plates?

Gah... only if you have to.

It’s annoying because there’s an option to display whether you have kids or not.

They do it to rope you in because they know "single mom" is not attractive. Bait and switch. Consider seriously if you want to date someone so dishonest.

I’ve never dealt with single moms before so I don’t know what I’m in for.

It works like this: their value is lower so their demands are HIGHER.

They have no time. You are not priority #2 in her life, you are priority #10 in her life, somewhere below "get more catfood". You are expected to do more for her "because she's a single mother". She will do less for you.

The practicalities are a fucking pain... is she going to find a babysitter and pay for it every time you go on a date?

They have fuck all time, their priorities are out of whack, but most of all: their value is down, their needs are up, therefore her demands go UP. It's fucked up that female psychology means "less value offered therefore demand more", but this is how they function.

There are many reasons why a woman could be a single mother. Most of the time it's because they made bad decisions and now they need a bailout. I'm 46 and the single women my age are way past the wall and have unrealistic expectations. I would not give any of them the time of day. They can die alone. I'm taking my ball and going home. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. $30 for bareback sex with an Asian HB10 18yr old street prostitute is the new normal... not this single mother dating crap.
