Single moms and the men who love us.
I want to bring your attention to another great comment that came in recently…this one’s from Finch, one of nearly 500 men who have now read my post on “How to Date a Single Mom.“
Dating a single mom never even crossed my mind until my current relationship just fell into my lap. Now I couldn’t be happier. We’ve only been dating two months and I’ve already fallen hard for her. And her three-year-old daughter? Icing on the cake! This relationship actually made me realize I love kids! And yes, one thing I love about her more than anything is the complete lack of bullshit games that younger women typically play. I’m not looking at a fake plastic mask, I’m looking at her. Just her. That’s a bigger turn-on than anything. - Finch
I just absolutely LOVE this. It proves my point - that when the right guy comes along, the fact that you’re a single mom doesn’t mean squat. It might be harder on us (for reasons they can’t really understand) but for them - we’re pretty damn hot. Check this out … Yahoo Personals polled men on what makes a single mom so sexy. Here are some of the reasons:
- She’s strong.
- She’s not going to gamble her child’s happiness on just any man - so by dating you, she’s paying you a compliment.
- When you do get together, she’ll make it worth your while.
- She enjoys her time out more than women who can come and go as they please.
- No spur of the moment dates - you have to plan. But planning entails anticipation…and that’s cool

Props to single moms! The situation’s not quite the same for single dads, at least in my experience. I’ve found single women aren’t as keen on gaining an instant family - they’d rather start their own from scratch. But hey, they don’t know what they’re missing, do they? Maybe they’ll learn from your single men readers who think dating a single parent is great.
I LOVE this post! You A) took the words right out of my mouth and B) said it like it needs to be said. Being a single-mother IS awesome, and any man who can’t truly appreciate the magnitude of supremacy in which we operate needs to hit the road.
Awesome. Enjoy your trip.
I LOVE this! We are sexy, strong and we are a great catch!!
Thanks for posting.
My pleasure! Happy to remind myself and everyone else why we are so fabulous! And this time we’re hearing it straight from the men…nice.
I imagine many of qualities that make a single moms so irresistible can also be said for single dads too. I don’t know if I agree with all of Yahoo’s top ten(yes, we are stronger than most dating candidates thanks to the emotional (and physical!) workout we get handling the responsibilities of single parenthood, but no, we can’t necessarily cook (unless you count unwrapping a power bar preparing a meal). =)
Thanks Ms. Single Mama, I love your blog.
Modern single momma - we spell momma differently! I’ve noticed the variation on the spelling on mama since starting my blog…
You’re absolutely right - I’m definitely not a great cook - I definitely cook more than I used too, but not quite a mommy cook yet! Just don’t have the time to prepare an amazing meal.
And thanks for the compliment! So glad you like it!
LOVE this post - everything’s so right on. I’m VERY picky, but I can tell you, when I DO decide to finally let someone in again, I’ll definitely make it worth their while
Read Jon’s comment under my post “Porn for New Moms” Awesome! How adorable!
Couldn’t agree more with Finch… maybe guys like us are the minority…I certainly hope so
Great post there finch. Showing that men do appreciate single mama’s will certainly help alot of womens self esteem.
