To ask if good looking single mums have an easier time getting dates

I know lots of men aren't keen on dating single mums, fair enough. I am a single mum of 2 young DC and don't seem to have any luck. My best friend is also a single mum of 2 young DC and seems to have no problem whatsoever and men chasing her left, right and centre! I like to think we are both nice people, the only difference, she is extremely beautiful and I am average. :(

I think I'm attractive but, objectively, am probably average looking. I have 2 kids and had no trouble getting dates (mostly via Tinder) when I separated from their dad. Luckily, just 2 months after my separation I met the love of my life and we both fancied each other like mad. I don't think it's hard to get dates if you know what you want (I made an actual list!), you're confident in yourself that you are attractive & worth it, and are not ruling men out for stupid reasons.

Don't put yourself down. I was a single mum to a toddler when I met my gorgeous partner. I'm not good looking at all.

I was actually thinking the opposite to you the other day bizarrely. I have some friends who are single mums, who are absolutely beautiful, always make an effort etc but they seem to be unlucky in love. Some guys get put off by nails, hair, fake tan, nice clothes etc as they are seen as high maintenance (not the case for all men obviously).

I am certain the right man is out there for you.
