Asshole douchebags who post pictures of themselves w/o their shirts on hitting on easy sluts on an online dating site -- sometimes even pass the same trick around? Yeah better narrow that broad stroke you painted on an entire user base of millions.lost said:After reading the PoF thread on bodybuilding.com, whew, I would be very weary about looking for women (to date/marry) on plenty of fish, even OKCupid even though it seems to be slightly better.
The post shows guys basically using copy/paste replies and getting numbers maybe the 1st or 2nd reply from the girl, then nudes not too long after, and banging them.. even guys talking to other guys about girls they BOTH met up with (separate occasions but same chick) and banged.. so yeah wouldnt go lookin for wife material on there.

Much love for Dabamf but one caveat I"ve noticed.Dabamf said:Well Sharmai said something similar but I want to expand on it.
We all on some level are aware of our own value to the opposite sex, and people tend to partner up with people of the same value. Obviously people can see their own value differently and people value slightly different things, but on a whole it works out pretty simply. That"s why a super model isn"t dating a fat ugly guy, and furthermore, that fat ugly guy would NOT, contrary to what you"d expect, seek the super model as a long-term partner, but instead go after someone with a similar or slightly higher value.
Now where kids come in is basically you take a girl and cut her arm off. You can look at her and think how hot she is or how great you two get along, but at the end of the day she only has one arm. If she is way hotter and more interesting than you, the monoarm brings her down to your level and you are interested. But if you are yourself hot and interesting, the widowed arm will push her down below your level.
So basically you can get a significantly hotter and more interesting girl if she has a kid than one who doesn"t have a kid (because the one who doesn"t have the kid will be able to get higher valued men than you). That"s your tradeoff.
I"d say for most of them that yes, it"s definitely not a confidence builder in their own minds, regardless of the circumstances.Lefazz said:So, would you say that most single women with children viewthemselvesas undesirable?
If I just caught my girl friend in a lie to go meet a guy she had previously fucked, without my knowledge AND I knew she was actively concealing it, the relationship would probably be done. It never would have even got to the shot part.lost said:Yeah, she still thinks I was wrong for flipping out about her walking off to get the shot and that I"m a psycho for flipping out. Some might think hey yeah maybe flipping out causing a scene was a bit much, but to me it was an accumulation of all the past things just smacking me in the face yet again.
And on top of that, every failed relationship she has also impacts her children, which in turn makes the woman less likely to want to make a relationship work, and she"ll subconsciously or consciously do things to prevent one from working in order to spare the kid(s) from the pain of having yet another guy come over and play and bond with them for a couple of weeks and then be gone forever. It"s a vicious cycle that a lot of them can"t really get out of.Sharmai said:The problem a single women with children has is she can"t find a guy to be with her and stay with her for a serious length of time.
Most of these guys are complete fucking retards who think taking pictures with themselves with their shirts off and using it as their main facebook image is a cool thing.lost said:After reading the PoF thread on bodybuilding.com, whew, I would be very weary about looking for women (to date/marry) on plenty of fish, even OKCupid even though it seems to be slightly better.

I was single for a few months last year and when I used pof and okcupid I would not seriously consider trying to date them even though a lot of them were some of the best looking girls on there. I only met up with one of them and had a few who would message me quite a bit and I would just be friendly but not show any interest.Lefazz said:I"m curious as to how most guys perceive single mothers... as in, are they completely undesirable? A definite "no" attribute?
It"s kinda sad, I admit, but it some ways I see it as a plus as I think their expectations might be lower. The expectations as in, having some fantasy dream of finding their "white knight" or being "swept off their feet"... "love at first sight", etc. Nonsense they might finally realize doesn"t exist.
quality post, but you"re overcomplicating things. it comes down to this:Rune said:Much love for Dabamf but one caveat I"ve noticed.
A lot of available women in their mid to late 20s insanely overvalue themselves because they still see themselves as the hottie 18 year old despite partying hard for almost a decade and having nothing to show for it. Most of the decent ones are locked into a solid career path or mommy track at this point. But as time goes on they get less and less attention. It"s a slow process though because there"s always an old enough guy who"s willing to get on that. But the bitterness and insecurity begins to take hold anyway.
Stay away from these, IMHO, because it"s just a retarded waste of time to deal with their misconceptions. Big clues: they refer to their father as daddy, have a retarded sense of fashion, and are completely financially dependent despite finishing college and having a (dead end) job.
However, most of them slowly start to wake up as 30 starts to loom. While they outwardly pretend they"re just as hot, they begin to realize internally they"re a complete and total wreck, MOSTLY because all their friends they always made fun of for staying in committed relationships are now progressing past getting hitched and are actually having kids, even their sworn BFFs. This is kind of dangerous because they"ll pretend to get their shit together long enough to pounce on a guy and pretend they"re marriage material. Annnd this is also why they won"t let you ever talk to their friends alone. Other warning signs include inexplicable crying, stalking, huge significance placed on big, expensive grown up bullshit like fancy restaurants, and desperate hints at engagement rings.
So this sort of explains the gap. Because the women in that age group are either busting their ass in a professional career or raising kids at home, and everything in the middle is still sloring it up in places where most guys at that age don"t hang out that much.
That"s not to say that it can be a very GOOD reason either, some of them I know of are just nuts and only think of work, and can barely function normally in a social situation.kegkilla said:2) women who are single and approaching 30 are single for a reason. (not necessarily a bad reason, they could be career oriented)
Single moms in their 20"s and early 30"s maybe. Single moms in their late 30"s and into their 40"s? Not so much. All the single moms I knew of growing up ended up meeting some guy and getting married and all the ones I can think of off the top of my head are still happily married including my own mother.Ravvenn said:Single mothers who care about their child(ren) do not have lower standards, but realize their options are now limited. They can lower their standards or accept that it"s slim pickins and hope to get lucky.
Undesirable? After reading these posts, yes, lol. As a placeholder, they"re desired. But to actually plan a life with and marry? Not all that common.
Un-wed-able (nice word, btw). Yes, absolutely! Only a select few get to be the exception. That"s life, you all confirm it. Even in a solid relationship, I think single moms have a lower chance of getting married than a childless woman, especially if he doesn"t want or like children and she wants more, she is unable or unwilling to have more children and the man wants his own or worse, his mother wants and fully expects grandchildren.
The older I get the more I realize if I ended up single again, I"d likely stay that way for good.
