To many posts about dating single mothers....
Time to step it up soldiers - get the message out there.

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Let the divorced guys with kids deal with the single mommies. A single mommy is nothing more than a cvm dumpster for a single guy.Warrior74 said:LOL. some men will never date if that's the case. You should be teaching HOW to date single mothers if you really want to teach something. Or how 'play' or 'dj' single mothers. Dood. Do you know how many single mothers there are out there these days? Girls have kids before they hit 25 in a lot of places. In some areas single motherhood is the norm. So stop and look at the world view of others and minister to their needs instead of inposing your world view.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Then teach them that. but don't tell them to avoid single mothers all together. Teach them the real game. Both eyes open game.speed dawg said:Let the divorced guys with kids deal with the single mommies. A single mommy is nothing more than a cvm dumpster for a single guy.
Yeah I can dig that. I myself used to date lots of single mommies with no emotional attachment. Problem is you have guys that fall in love with them.Warrior74 said:Then teach them that. but don't tell them to avoid single mothers all together. Teach them the real game. Both eyes open game.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
It's not about being AFC or not - it's about investing time, money, sweat, tears on another man's genetic code - as opposed to your own.Is adopting a poor child from a third world nation AFC? Is the big brothers/ big sisters program AFC? Let's agree that getting "trapped" by a desperate single mom in search of a provider/daddy without fair reciprocation is AFC. Beyond that, I believe there a substantial 'gray area.'
This prevents you from spending your resources on your own off-spring - as opposed to someone else's. Sure, if you have millions of dollars, maybe there's a difference, but then you need to talk about emotional and actual time spent raising someone else's genetics.Is adopting a poor child from a third world nation AFC?
This is different from taking over the daddy role. Giving back to society and helping others has many benefits for both parties - and society in general.Is the big brothers/ big sisters program AFC?

It's AFC because you don't really want a kid, you really just want the mother's *****, but as part of the bargain you have to raise a kid that you really don't want if you are honest with yourself.Jeffst1980 said:I don't see how "raising another man's child," without regard to the circumstances, is AFC.'
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
