Although most men who don’t have children have a preference to date women who don’t have children, not all of them are adverse to single moms.

This is especially true of men who grew up in single mom households.

About 40 percent of the male population are born into single mom households.

This makes them familiar with the challenges a single mom goes through.

As long as the single mother that raised him was loving and kind to him, he develops a love and respect for single moms.

To these men, single moms bear the qualities that they saw in their own single mother as they were growing up.

A single mom that is loving to her child, despite the difficulties of having to raise her offspring on her own.

This lets him know that if he has children with her in the future, she is certain to be a good mom to them.

Like his single mother, she has demonstrated responsibility in taking charge of the financial well-being of her offspring.

This makes him aware that if he were to get into a relationship with her, she won’t be a financial burden to him, but an asset.

She has been through so much that he knows she has internal fortitude.

Like his mother had when she was raising him.

This means that, were he to date her, he knows that he has a strong partner by his side, of whose support he can lean on in tough times.

He isn’t blind to the fact that as a single mom, she does come with challenges.

For example, if there is a father in the picture, he would have to contend with him.

This is where he does have a little hesitancy.

The hesitancy is greater if his own father was abusive towards him and his mother while he was growing up, in a shared custody situation.

In dating a single mom, he is curious and nervous about how positive or negative an impact the father of her offspring has in her life.

As long as he learns that it isn’t abusive, and more so positive, he rests easy.

This makes it easier for him to consider a long-term future with her, without having to worry about how much of a negative impact the father of her children have on his relationship with her.

All of this being said, there are men who have nefarious and selfish reasons for dating single moms.

They love to date single moms, believing single moms are desperate for a man, and easy to take advantage of.

These are men who either grew up in extremely abusive single parent households, or grew up in nuclear families, but are solely looking to use single moms for sex.

Be weary and vigilant of these men.

The men who grew up in extremely abusive single parent households are the most menacing of the two.

He makes you believe that he cares about you and the well-being of your offspring.

To this end, he is kind at first.

He takes you out on romantic dates, and treats your kids to gifts.

Once he has gotten you to fall for him.

He switches into who he really is.

This is where he becomes verbally abusive towards you and your offspring.

He makes you feel so low about yourself, he gets you to believe that you aren’t worth much as a person, and that he is the only man that will ever accept you and your kids.

Thanks to the abuse he went through as a child, he is no stranger to how to go about abusing someone, and he does it with single moms, believing them to be vulnerable.

A man like this isn’t hard to figure out early, as long as you don’t let yourself get carried away with him too soon.

He has a history of abusive relationships with women.

As a single mom, you owe it to yourself and the safety of your children to vet any man you choose to date.

This is where you learn about what his dating history has been like.

Should you learn that he has had a propensity to date single moms in the past, and those single moms have nothing but bad accounts of their time with him, stay away.

As for the man who grew up in a nuclear family and is only dating you for sex, he is much easier to figure out.

He doesn’t want to do the work of courting you properly with all of the financial expense that comes with it.

A man like this is looking to have sex with you quickly, sometimes as early as on the first date.

He doesn’t see you as anything but someone he uses as a tool for sex until he finds a single woman who doesn’t have children.

Needless to say, a man who isn’t giving you the time and patience that a courtship requires, and is quickly making a move to get you into bed with him, is a man you must avoid.
