Unfair ‘stigma’ over single mums dating?

[NY25]

Has anyone noticed this recently? Loads of content about how single mums are ‘wild’ and can’t wait to get their hands on their date in a physical sense. Basically that on child free weekends we act manically sex starved.

I’ve had a few dates myself and a couple of the men have referenced how ‘everyone says that single mums will eat you alive’.

I find it funny that the same is never said about single dads?

Anyone 😂

I find it funny that the same is never said about single dads?

Really? You've never seen all the posts that describe them as players, predators, or using their kids just to pick up women?

All i can say is... quite happy if I never have to deal with a man again. Actively NOT dating or looking.

I wouldn't eat then alive. Might bury some of them alive 😄 🤣

What did you say back? Because if a man said that to me on a date I would walk out.

Just your basic lightly sparkling misogyny.

I’ve never heard this! Those men sound awful, I bet they have abhorrent views of any women and not just single mothers.

Where are you seeing this content?

Yeah its been about for a while that single mums are grateful for the attention 😄

Same with plus sized women

Terrible gender

Oh I've had this. Even women at school who try and keep their partners away from me at school events, as if I'm so desperate I'm going to straddle them in the middle of assembly 🙄

Also apparently I live in a free house and get all sorts paid for by the Government. I don't deserve to go on holiday because hard working tax payers are funding my holidays.

In reality, I work full time, I'm paying a mortgage and the only benefit I get is child benefit. £27 a week doesn't really cover the cost of a holiday.

I don't care who or what a person shags just dont have them around children or move them in amd put partnere before children

Youre dating the wrong men

As always, blame the woman.

So it is perfectly acceptable to deliberately date someone awful and take no responsibility for that choice at all?

Sometimes women are at fault

It’s a horrible, misogynistic stereotype coming from the chronically online pick up artist types. They speak about single mothers being desperate and clearly up for being used and abused. Dating seems like a minefield these days, the world seems to be a much darker place than when I was last single.

Ha! Try being widowed in your 30s - the judgement for daring to date again!

Women are at fault for men being arseholes?

Sure.

Yes women are at fault for dating men that are arseholes when they are literally flying a massive red 'i am an arsehole' flag.

Second that

Newsflash, if they signalled it, women wouldn't date them. It's called love bombing for a reason.

Bore off with the mansplaining.

Meh I don’t care, only if it affects the children negatively. My NDN separated from her DH a couple of years back and last year started dating someone new, he also has a young child. He’s at hers constantly and already looks after her youngest sometimes while she’s at work.

She obviously trusts him (I guess because he has his own child) but it gives me the heebies just because I read the news too much I guess… I also worry because they’ve already broken up twice so it doesn’t seem overly stable. It’s none of my business obviously but both times they broke up she made it my business by telling me for some reason.

So women have no say in the matter they are forced to have a relationship with them?

and how is mansplaining?

Blaming women for bad men who FAKE being nice to hook them in is either mansplaining or complicit with sexism.

If I fake my experience for a job it's a lie. If a bloke fakes his personality, it's a lie.

Oh come on, some men are running around with big red flags and some women will still date them. Some humans would date anything. Not everyone has self confidence and standards and women absolutely should wise up and stop dating, marrying and parenting with total bell ends.

I literally have a friend who is constantly being treated like shit by men but she picks men that quite honestly look like trouble and dont hide or manipulate her, they are very upfront and she chooses to ignore the aspects she doesnt like
