no not true. If u go to page 4 of dis tread u will see where i listed 4 cogent reasons y marrying a single mother might be dicey.
I stated my own reason too. Its easier for a single dad to walk up to any girl he wants but it's not same with a single mum.

Not sure if any of my sons comes home with a single mum, that I will approve of the Marriage.

Single mum shd target a widower or divorcee at best.

An inexperienced man who is supposed to be the head of the house should not be learning from the wife who already pass through some rudiments of marriage/child raising. The fun a d adventure of freshers will not be there.

That marriage will not work out. Even that lady will eventually be ungrateful for the sacrifice of that man. Don't quote me because you are deriving your points from text book but I am not. All such marriages I have seen failed eventually with the man questioning himself for being to nice....

I think it's time I spilled this.

I really don't think so. Maybe some are not just attractive enough or they're not really ready for re-marriage.

I'm having something to do with a Guyanese chick atm, she's a single mom, and she's as hot as they come. I personally won't mind her because of our soul attraction.

Most of them are usually not in a rush to get into a relationship so I doubt if 'challenge' is the right word... single moms are very cautious and sensitive when it comes to choosing new partners.

I agree with you.

Single mums are simply women who misused their opportunites and still do not know what they want.. I know many of them. Suitors aren't their problems..

The prettiest lady in my area is one.

Single Mothers Are Very Nice Set Of Ladies, They Are Very Caring, and Nice To any Man they Eventually Get Married To. They Display Qualities Of A ”Very Good“ Wife Material. But On The Long Run, The Stupid, Naughty And Wayward Character That Made Them SINGLE MOTHER's Will Start to Manifest. This Is Just One Of The Reasons, Why They Are Left Alone For Men Of Their Type.

Many single mothers don't dress smartly, you see them looking like old women.

If these single mothers dress smartly and classy there will be single guys chasing and want to marry them, it is not only about the child they had out of wedlock it is how they appear/dress.

Lastly many guys won't want to marry a after 1,2 woman, they prefer marrying girls with no kids even if she had abortion in the past(guys hypocrisy), they don't want another man's child and sometimes it is not always the guy not wanting to marry a single mum it is the family that reject the union.

This is where "polygamy" comes in, this is the advantage of polygamy in the society for single mothers.

With 3-4 kids omotola still look dateable, at that age genevieve still look awesome. Some ladies even after giving birth, fail to package themselves, they simple make themselves look like waste bin. Having a child out of wedlock is not the problem, the problem is the wedlock in the appearance of the lady!!! Giving birth doesn't mean you should start dressing like my grand ma in the village :/

Exactly. But like he said no one is above mistake. If not for the liability aspect of having a child one didn't budget, being a single mother doesn't mean the woman is wayward. It takes a very brave single woman to keep a pregnancy which eventually results to a child.
Fourwinds:
correct. Dats one very good point.
2. It will be funny to bring a girl with a kid to ur family and announce to dem u want to get weded except ur have urs already. AMANDIOHA.
3. U may have problem dealing with dat child once she/he grows up in d near future because he/she is not ur biological child.
4. Dis one is very deadly. Some women are not loyal at all. It is just like d case of a girl who will never forget d guy dat disvirgin her. Women are too emotional, d guy dat dump dem before dey find comfort in u can appear one day. Before u say Jesus, u will find her all over him and she is gone with d guy and d child. Dis one in particular, i fear women.

There's only one simple logic to this question... single mothers don't love.. period!

They think you owe them some stake. Guys don't like women that talks all day about their problems. Single mum are like men... too masculine in behaviour and lack the patience to build a solid relationship.

Single mum's kid have to like you, else, nothing will happen between you and their mum.

And the last reason why single mum find it difficult to hold down a man is because single mums are too cheap. Guys knows this.... buy their kids gift and enter the 'promise land' without even trying.

Some single mums have low self-esteem and don't know how to say no. Some are too career-oriented and wouldn't even know it when time flies by.

Firstly it is the prayer & wishes of every single man to have a lady dat's complete.
Meaning not yet used up by another man
& d reason is marrying a lady dat's with kid can generate some problems in the nearby future coz from past experience i'v gathered most of them in one way or d other do av some link still connecting dem with d father of d kid which result in some other shits most of d time
Nd in another words u may want to reason dat if d lady is of gud quality nd admirable xracter y would she leave her 1st husband
But Not all cases do diz condition applies anyway so if u ave a lady with kids just pray over it nd study her very well b4 embarking on d journey

it all depend on choices....one man meat is another mans poison....any man who cant marry a woman dat has a child out of wedlock should not conderm another man who marries a single mother...alot of persons marry for many reasons.....since there is no where in the bible is it commanded either to marry a single mother or not to marry is on personal preferences...so no one should conderm anyone who cant marry or agree to marry...once dere is mutual understnding one can mary a single mother...the child may turn out to be an important figure in the society....JOSELPH IN THE BIBLE MARRIED A SINGLE MOTHER....marry was not loose or immoral but she gave birth to Jesus before joself strtd avng sex with her.....in the same vain grls who are truely victims of rape and got pregnant are not loose or immoral thus is not bad if any man agree to marry her....the secret to family hapiness is all about WIFE HAVING DEEP RESPECT FOR THE MAN, THE MAN LOVING THE WIFE AS HIS OWN BODY...CHILDREN BE OBEDIENT TO UR PARENT....MARIAGE BED BE WOTHOUT DEFILEMENT....we cant say somone who is immoral cant repent afterall rehab in d bible was not a vigirn but a prostitute and JESUS came from her linage of chronology of acestors...so if u love a grl..marry her if she has a baby love her for who she is...true who is not just about wht u feel but combination of wht you feel and know about a person

Yes I know. But there are different meaning of the word job. There is a "paid job" in which you work for money, a "task" which is a job you have to do and a "duty" which is a responsibility.
So you should know the one I was refering to in my post

the word job entails financial gains for service that's y is diff from a career which is done for passion and a task is not recurrent in nature and more of a contract term while a duty tends to incline with a self impose will which is duly enforced by ones willingness or sometimes effective with stringent sanctions and default effects

Dude just check the dictionary for the meaning of the word "job" and its application. You would be able to understand more clearly the explanation I rendered. I believe my signature is simple to comprehend and it doesn't need to be agued. Thanks

Most men wont want the drama involved with Single mothers

Some of them are still emotionally involved with their ex baby daddy

Some carry the baggage of what their baby daddy did to them into their new relationship

There is always the fear that the child/children from the previous marriage after spending a lot on them would never see you as their father and would still look for their own biological father

Moreover single girls are in excess demand, why would one need to go for an after 1?
mister, majority of ladies/ married women ( DT are not even single mothers) still stay connected with their exes , physically or emotionally ......y do skul mates still continue with their relationship after getting married to different spouses

Op.

Once upon a time, I would have opened a thread like this because I honestly believed it to be true but look at me now..

I have dated 3 single mothers and they were amongst the best relationships I ever had. The stories behind the babies ranged from r-ape at the age of 15 to juvenile delinquency that resulted in a pregnancy. I am older now and understand the complexities of the world a little better now that is why i advocate legalization of abortion cos some of these girls would have aborted these babies if they could do it legally and safely.

However I will address your post for what it is.

The reason is seems like single mothers don't find suitors are as follows;

1. The single mothers themselves.. If the women let's herself go just because she is a single mother, then she only has herself to blame for not attracting ant suitors. In fact whether she is a mother or not, if she does not packages herself to be attractive, she will not attract anyone. Some women just wallow in self pity or what have you and just let themselves go. They are not attractive, don't seem to be pushing themselves to achieve any goals and tend to blame their situation on the kid.

2. Only a handful of men and mostly boys have this mentality of not marrying single mothers. I use to be one of them, then I grew up.

3. For the handful of guys who hold this line of thought, it is based mostly on the fact that they would have to raise another man's child. Also that child would always be the elephant in the room in that relationship and the child is very likely to complicate the marriage. Issues with regards to discipline, love, respect and more are issues that make most guys who hold this view abstain from marrying a single mother. Another key reason is also acceptance by extended family members like his mother and co. These I believe are the reasons why the few guys who feel this way would rather not marry a single mother and I can't fault them as such.


To the single mothers; You are seen by men as what you present yourself to be. If you see having a child out of wedlock as a problem then that's what that child would be. Men (not boys) mostly don't care about such especially when the mother has a good head on her shoulder and seems to be doing very well for herself and her kid. My advice to you is simply to accept the child as a part of your life which they are and start pursuing a future for them. Raise the child well so their attitude isn't appalling to your dates. Take care of yourself and look as sweet and sexy as possible. Be focused and watch men fall all around you.
