And not only that but a pic of Bruce Willis as a potential suitor.

What is going on?

Why is a single parent dating site a bad idea? I massively prefer dating men with kids for tons of reasons, not least that one day, they may end up as step dad for ds and I want someone who's already proved himself as a good dad. Also makes it easier explaining why you need a sitter, can't be spontaneous etc! I also don't want any more kids and a guy in his thirties with kids is much likely to want a baby than one without.

There's nothing wrong with it per se LucieMay, despite Hully getting her voluminous knickers in a twist :)

I think it's more about the site pretending its something to do with MN when it isn't

JenaiMathis · 19/12/2012 23:50

that and Single Mums .net .... it's all manner of wrongness.

MarcelineTheVampireQueen · 19/12/2012 23:54

It even says in the blurb..

"This site was created by parents (not single anymore) for parents to have a place to go for online dating

SUE THEM!!!

LucieMay · 19/12/2012 23:55

Dowa yeah I see what you mean, they have ripped off the logo.

CuttedUpPear · 20/12/2012 00:01

And the website is cheaply constructed and full of typos - what an insult!

Kleptronic · 20/12/2012 00:28

Damn straight it's cheaply constructed, and put together by someone with no design skills whatsoever. 'Tis a travesty.

Also I reckon by the spelling it's American. Or at least the copy has been written by an American. Or by someone with American set as the standard language in their pirate copy of Microsoft Word. With the spillchacker broken.

Not that I'm saying Americans are travesties. Clearly they can't all be. There's too many of them. Obviously every country in the world harbours travesties. I know mine does, and I'm one of them.

That site is a wrong 'un, and it shouldn't be advertised on here, which is not a wrong 'un.

Right that does it I'm going for a lie down.

D' ya think there might be some cocklodgers going cheap on there?????

JenaiMathis · 20/12/2012 00:41

They ought to do PissedOffMums.net for desperate non-single mothers.

I quite like that little disclaimer Grin would have been nice on some of the threads going last week!

Shock Is it an offshoot of mumsnet? The logo!!!

I'll have to tell dp I looked, don't want him worrying Wink

BelleDameSousMistletoe · 20/12/2012 06:48

I noticed it and, despite being single, managed to resist... Xmas Hmm. It looks so much like an MN site that I wondered if our previous jokes about a dating site had been taken up.

Please MNHQ make it go awaaaaaay...

IceTheChristmasKateMumsnet · 20/12/2012 10:42

Hi everyone,

We've had a chat with the relevant people, and have been told that ad will be seen no more!

CuriousMama · 20/12/2012 19:12

and the logo?
