Why are single women so desperate?

I am a 27 year old woman, considered very attractive, and I have lived in several cities in several states. But I have never been married, but I would love to get married to the right man. The problem is that with every singles’ group, every dating website, etc, there are always more single women than single men. And to make matters worse, most of those single women aren’t really single , meaning that they are really a “package deal” single mom PLUS child PLUS ex-husband/boyfriend. That’s not one single person, that’s a family. Every single mom I’ve ever met seems to have only one thing on her mind, to bag a “daddy” for her hungry child. It’s sort of frustrating to young women like me who are trying to date responsibly, and marry the RIGHT guy, not some guy just because he’s cute or I think I can “change him”, BUT I have to compete with “single” mom’s. I’d love to find a single’s club where they have one set of the TRUE singles made up of women who have never been married and single men, and then segregate the “single” mom’s into a separate group with guys who will date anybody. I may sound witchy (can’t put the other word here), but I’ll bet a lot of women who have never been married at all feel the same way, right? I haven’t met the “single” mom yet who isn’t really a desperate female hunter, looking to find a “daddy” for her hungry child. .

Update:

Ooops! I just realized that I meant to title my question, "Why are single moms so desperate?" I will repost, but also will choose the best answer here as well.

Update 2:

Tim S, I've always thought the single women who want to get married outnumber the single guys, every where I've been in the US.

    You sound smart and successful, and you are also a little green, because you are 27.

    I know you arent trying to sound witchy, but truthfully, men will see it that way. The reason I bring it up, is because it's prolly never been brought to your attention. If you are seeing your "dating" situation like this, chances are you are seeing a LOT of components of your life this way. It is usually consistent with women, across the board. I have a friend who has been single for 25 years... 25 YEARS.... No kids, smart, pretty, has her own place, family etc. but no friends... sadly because she is so NEGATIVE, and everything in a dinner conversation with her is a RANT. Or it is a political agenda, on how if she were to win the lottery, that every teacher she knew would get $1000 gift from her, to help "the kids". Poor thing doesnt realize that even if you gave $100,000 for EACH child, it still wouldnt help the education situation...this shows a pic of who she is... She keeps blaming men, and how she gets all the "winners" and how one guy looked at her when she first walked up "Like I was dog vomit"... That was a visual I didnt need to hear. So you see she "can't see the forest because of the trees"... She cannot see that she is getting in her own way. Dont get in your own way... Keep doing what's best for you. The singles clubs aren't going to "weed" out the single moms, or the guys who want to be daddy, etc. That's YOUR job. This coming from a single woman with no kids who VERY much agrees with you. But that's our responsibility to make the choices in a man, not for a group to do it. Good luck.

    Both. It depends on the person and their situation. I have been single for 14 months now. I loved it for the most part, really enjoyed ever seconded of it. At this stage I may be getting a little tired of it, but I would not say I'm desperate I could still carry on being single with out feeling like I need a man

    Not really sure, we need some inaccurate statistics on this that go by online dating.. That was my sarcasm at work, I'm sorry :D. Let me be serious though, I think most guys don't due online dating because they don't want to seem desperate and if they do, I bet they don't really talk about it. I've done online dating, I'm a 23 year old male but it was only to see what else was out there. I would much rather start a friendship with a girl from let's say, my church or maybe even my gym. I'm very shy though but I still prefer getting to know someone and seeing them before going on a first date. I don't like to see myself as desperate, but I'd like to find love but that's something that can't be rushed, so I just do my day-to-day routines hoping sometime I'll meet that special someone, try not to think about it too much though, then you might make yourself depressed or sad and rush into something not for you!

    I sort of agree with you. Maybe not all single moms are desperate to find a "daddy" for their children, but there are a lot of them who are exactly that way. And it does seem like over half of the singles' market are composed of single mom's. And yes, a lot of them do try to hide the fact that they have little ones at home (and an ex-hubby) until they get some guy interested, and then they tell him once they think they have him "hooked". That's why a lot of guys are starting to ask up front if a single woman is a single mom with a child at home and an ex-husband out there. Your question will anger single mothers, but the truth does sting. And a lot of single moms did make their own situations with bad decisions. God bless and I hope you find a nice Christian man to marry you.

    Well i suggest you stop signing up to dating sites or dating groups and broaden your horizons. Why not try meeting men by doing something you're interested in like a dance class, kick boxing class or book club. Or perhaps try going out with your non single girlfirends to a bar or club a met a guy that way. They say the more you look for a guy the less likely you are to find one so maybe dont try so hard.

    I was under the impression more guys were on online dating sites than women according to some stats. Anyways, I must say girls on online dating sites are mostly false. They try to make themselves seem like they have such a busy life and are busy traveling, etc...They try too hard in my opinion and that's truly a major turn off. And not just a few but the majority are like that! So you make a great point and yes, more than interesting they seem desperate trying to find some perfect guy. I've only tried using one site and never again will I use one. I can't stand dishonest women.

    You can’t talk a woman into bed or into a relationship. So if you’re wondering how do you get a girl interested in you when nothing you say seems to be working, the problem might be with your hands more than your words. Read here https://tr.im/gdpA4

    Touch her appropriately as soon as you meet her and slowly escalate the duration and intensity of each touch. Give her time to get comfortable with your touch – if she’s not comfortable holding your hand, she’s definitely not going to be comfortable being sexual with you.
