@miminyc – Thanks for sharing and thanks for the encouragement. It’s nice to hear that single moms are still desired by men in our age group. I’m so glad to hear of your success and wish you the best!

I think it’s bogus that Patti (or anyone else) implies that as 30-something single mom we have to settle for less. I am a 35-year old divorced single mom and just recently met a great guy, 34, never married, and has lots of amazing qualities – smart, handsome, successful, great values, funny. He doesn’t mind the single mom thing at all (we met on Match) and he really really likes me. We’ve seen each other a lot over the past month — sometimes 5 times a week, which is a lot, especially for NY! Anyway, I am very lucky I met him, and regardless of what happens, I am just grateful that God in his mercy showed me that wonderful men are still out there, and can still be interested in me, after I feel chewed up and spit out by my divorce. I know the same holds true for you, beautiful singlemomdating — so don’t give in to lowering your standards out of fear, and don’t let women like Patti brainwash you into thinking those stats are more powerful than God’s blessings.

I just wanted to let you know that Patti isn’t 100% wrong. Sometimes you need to remove the stigma of an older man from your mind. Not all of them wear dockers and look for the 20-somethings. There are plently of men in their 40s that are VERY attractive, successful and fun. As a matter of fact, a lot of time you come across the 40s have ‘Peter Pan Syndrom’ and act like they are 21 again…never wanting to grow up. It’s all about finding the ‘right’ person for you. It takes time. Keep dating, removing the stereotypes (because you, like me, don’t want to be put in that ‘box’ before someone has an opportunity to interact with us) and just know that there are plenty of other women who are forging ahead in this brutal world of dating with you!
