why is it,when your a single mother,alot of men think you are desperate for a man and dont treat you with as much respect as those who dont have children?

Update:

Thanks to all who answered,i have a very successful career,own my own home ,have nice car-basically there is nothing a guy could provide financially that i havent myself.But still when i meet somebody they normally just want a one night stand,obviously presume im easy because i have children!

    I think they see you as used goods with too much baggage, they think there had to be something wrong with u as your not married anymore...until they get to know u better when they see a different tale... Also don't allow them to disrespect you, you are just as equal as anyone..

    I even have in no way heard that yet i dont have self belief that to be authentic, i think no rely if on your 20's or 30's as single mom (0r 40's 50's or whilst a single teenage parent),you will and can preserve the flaws being a single parent can modern to you, its constantly good to have an excellent help gadget no rely if family, buddies, community good church, be effective , pray and ask God for capability and awareness, and no rely your age as a single mum, you would be in basic terms large and preserve existence as a single parent contained in the main effective way you are able to!! :) its no longer constantly hassle-free yet existence isn't constantly hassle-free regardless of joint mum and dad , so i dont comprehend why some human beings might think of youthful single mums can no longer cope besides , yet i dont purchase that for a 2nd , :) ;)

    Yes, I went through this myself. Eventually I met a single dad that knew how mean that was and we married each other and lived happily ever after.

    I firmly believe that single mothers make better couples with single dads because they can relate to each other. That's just my opinion.

    I actually found the opposite true. I get more respect. I think that it is because all my attention is on my son and I dont have the time to be tooo nice to a guy. I used to be too nice and got crushed. Now, I don't give a &%^... it is all about my son.. and they keep calling.
