Guys. Dating can be a bitch, but that doesn’t mean you have to go out with one. Let me offer some practical advice to those of you who are out there seeking companionship, romance, a good time… and maybe more. No matter the manner you employ to find your prospective dating partners; online, through social clubs, at bars, or old school at the grocery store, I have 9 reasons why single moms should be at the top of your list.

Dating is one of life’s rituals where high-highs and low -lows are the rule not the exception. This exhilarating yet totally bi-polar process gets even trickier later in life after the frivolity of the 20’s and early 30’s and when the weight of responsibility creeps on like the waist size. Peoples past experiences and expectations drag the lows down lower and place a more manic and incredulous quality to the highs.

Single moms are not immune to the conditions of life that affect people and their dating relationships, however in my well-researched opinion, there are many reasons why they are better prepared to whether the storms of dating life than others. Just to name a few, the single mom generally stands on a sturdy foundation of reality (think Groundhog day), has the ability to laugh at herself (think wardrobe malfunctions), and add to that the bonus…constant chasing of the children has kept the inches off of her waist…
