I’m a 25 yr old VERY single lady, so naturally I go out do single things and meet guys. Out of the last 4 guys I’ve met only ONE was childless. Now a few years ago, if you had a kid or kids I wasn’t checkin for ya, no ifs ands or buts about it. But recently I came to the conclusion that it is going to be extremely hard for me to meet guys without a kid. I just feel like I’m in the age range (25-30) where it’s very common for single men to have kids. Now that I’m older, I don’t have a big issue with dating guys with kids. I also feel like if I wanna date, I don’t really have room to be judgy towards men with kids. By the time I rule out those that are in situations, those that don’t like the ladies, and the unworthy ones, the pickings are slim.
Based on responses received on twitter, I’m not the only female experiencing this. While discussing this common theme with a few guy friends, they said that they don’t meet too many baby mamas. Even in friends/associates, I have one girlfriend who is expecting but I have MANY guy friends that have kids. If single women are meeting/dating baby daddies then who’s dating the baby mamas?! Are the baby daddies still dating the baby mamas AND other women? Are the baby mamas too busy to date? Do their careers and kid(s) take precedence over dating? Are the women in this age range not having kids as much as the men are (lots of guys date younger women)? I don’t know the answer, but I was curious to know what other people think is goings on…
What do yall think about all of this? And ladies, how do you feel about dating baby daddies?
