We have single Mums that can make good wives, and no matter what the society says, there are single Mums that can make good homes.

If you look deeply, a single Mum having a child may not be the main issue of many guys, but below may be the issue many guys avoid single Mums in marriage.

(1) Fear of she cheating with her baby daddy: Do you know how painful it may be loving and supporting a single Mum only to discover she is sleeping with her baby daddy who may be so irresponsible.

(2) Fear of not being a father to her child or children: If after a man marries a single Mum and treats her child or children so well like a true father, and gets dumped in the future because he is not their biological, such may be so painful to him.

(3) Fear of divided emotions: A single Mum may be emotionally connected to both her husband and baby daddy. This might make her husband feel unsafe in the marriage; and if he expressed his concern, there may be outburst that he is just being insecure.


As a lady, never accept to get pregnant before marriage, no matter the promises given. Just avoid pre-marital sex. Again, if baby Daddies had married their baby Mamas, this issue may have subsided.
Women are too clingy to their kids, no man want to be in such a competiton

Correction: a single mother can never raise a son or a daughter properly. The presence of a man can never be overstated in marriage, never.
Agreed

… lack of sex doesnt kill .. doesnt even do anything to you….so u are just talking garbage…yall just watch too much sexual content that makes ur discipline hard to maintain …

U make sex sound like a favour women do for men… in case u dont know women spread legs because they want it too…
and if they stop spreading the outcome is that men will marry quickly and not widespread rape…..
Stop directing your statement to me. Direct it to all the men who lack self control and all the sex addicts and rapists. Even if you can control yourself it doesn't mean every man can do so. This is not between me and you. You are failing to consider the general impact including all the men who lack self control. Stop asking women to be virgins while you don't put the same pressure on men to be virgins too. The men who lack self control will make it chaotic when they start going for it by force. Your sisters wouldn't be spared in that chaos.

Single moms have a lot of problems because of their status. You must be extremely tough to be able to handle their dramas. How many men want such dramas? Nil.

What can be true is that single moms often face more challenges, and those challenges can sometimes affect behavior. For example:

1. High stress or fatigue – handling parenting, work, and finances alone can be exhausting
2. Limited time – less time for rest, social life, or close supervision
3. Financial pressure – can lead to tough decisions or strictness
4. Emotional strain – dealing with loneliness, past relationship issues, or responsibility overload

My best bet, avoid single moms at all cost. They may look sweet on the surface, but when the cracks start setting in, the earthquake would be too gigantic to patch up on the long run.

Many single mothers are on a revenge mission and some that unfortunately have daughters end up teaching their daughters to hate and use men with so much hate and crafty attitude.
The final lesson they impact on their daughters is to encourage them to leave any marriage or relationship that they cannot controll the man, after all their mother trained their daughters singlehandedly.
It takes the grace of God for a.single mother not to be damaged and by extension raising her daughter to be toxic towards the opposite sex and the cycle continue
well said. I will recommend men to be very watchful of dating ladies from single woman parent household. Girls from such household are usually prone to feminism,misandry, prostitution,terrible behavior etc.. Guys, before you take any relationship serious,watch out for this pls.

Funny guy….

During months of covid… many pple stayed in their house… they ddnt die because of no movement and no sex… no chaos will happen….

The people that tell women to close their legs say so because women are the custodian of sex… go and check marriages .. if sex is not happening its the woman thats the cause….. until a woman wants to have sex.. nothing is going to happen

You are very very right it's more easier to raise a son by a single mother compared to raising a daughter, but if there is no strong discipline when a single mother raises a son then ur guess is as good as mine.
Mind you not all single mothers are damaged goods as I have seen some single mothers who went through he'll to be a good single mother. Circumstances can do a lot of damage and you can't necessarily blame the mother.
The only way a man raised by a single mother can be upright is when there is a responsible and respectable male figure in the background. In the form of an uncle,step father or an upright male figure. Anything other than these, can lead that young man astray. A man raised singlehandedly by a woman will be prone to been Gay, extremely emotional, lack of willpower, no grit, lack of ambition,lack of drive,timidity etc..I am not saying even kids from both parents household cant be very weak but it will heightened if the young boy is in the hand of a woman wholy.

A man in his 50s recently found out that the child he had fathered for 20 years after marrying her single mother and was about to graduate.
She didn't invite him to her graduation ceremony but invited her biological father who spent zero dime on her.
The mother was in support of her actions.

A single mother's instinct is self preservation!
Her child comes first
Then her.
The baby daddy if he is alive and you.
Omoh!

This one na TKO for any man wey go marry single mum.

Lol

No.
Rather, don't have sex before marriage.

Na una go still wan kpeme ontop that advice because una feel entitled to sex outside marriage.

Men that sleep with people's daughters outside marriage are nothing but thieves.

I shook my head when I saw the comment

I can’t believe that there are some group of men that believe men loves sex more than women huh

Ask anywhere, women loves sex more than men, they are just good at pretending that they don’t

I so much like all of the comments I read so far and God Bless Brotherhood.. if this thread/topic can spread to reach everywhere it will be so good maybe this will serve as caution to most of our ladies that 97% of men do not want to have anything to do with single mother ( exclude Widow and the cause for her being a widow needs to be studied) . I so much want one woman to have me all of my children and not have additional kid or children from another father.. those ladies that are single mothers are not ready to stay with a man , they sees themselves better off the man they want to marry or stay with it , they want to be free and not controlled, they switch Sides , them feminist, bad parenting and bad influence.. you will see many of this single mother teaching their mates to leave, if the man is not this , he's not that forgetting we're coming together to form a team and accept our shortcomings and amend things but No .. they think life will be always smooth and man must always ready to provide .. when you asked them why you left your baby father , answers will be , he's not responsible, he's not doing this , he's not doing that .. I can never marry a single mother Never will I do that because she will not stay .. the one that have me my only daughter was not a single mother but her brain is wired to be a single mother , she preferred to be at her parent house ( as I even rush to build my personal house , when I found she's pregnant.. I can't even say this is what I did wrong but she wanted to be free and not be under anybody's controll, monetarily, I tried ( 30k-25k every 10days ) but she chooses her parent house and her mum is in support . Her dad could not say a word against her action because her mom is the boss at their house .I just had to pause and keep observing afar off .. I don't chase her , no any form of domestic violence from me to her, nothing, so pathetic, men.. Single mothers are the author of what happened to them and i will never date or marry any.. i typed epistle , that's because I'm pained
Ey yah!

I can feel you.

Just focus on building yourself.

Create peace of mind for yourself.

You are just contradicting yourself and saying rubbish. If women are the custodians of sex then they are doing men a favour when they allow men have sex with them.

Tell your fellow men to zip up and stop disturbing women for sex. It doesn't make sense asking women to be virgins while men keep disturbing women for sex. If you can't tell men to abstain from sex then stop asking women to be virgins. The ecosystem wouldn't work when women are becoming virgins and men don't want to be virgins.

Men are very smart people.
Even single fathers demonize single mothers but you will see a lady who has never given birth before accepting to marry a man with baggages.
Women are so foo. Lish.

When I was single, the moment I find out you already have a child, I just ghost.
I ghosted one guy who had a 10 year old son.
He couldn't believe it.
Men are the ones that are expected to provide... no one wants a financial loss in a risky relationship....

What makes me angry about the part in bold is that most of you advise ladies to avoid premarital sex but you don't advice men to do the same. If women avoid sex when men need sex it is going to chaotic.

The biggest issue about single parenting is the same with any person who is not is simply the right character.
Build yourself, appreciate yourself, humble yourself, and forgive yourself.

If you don’t work on yourself, put values and virtues in yourself, whether single parent or not, you go get issues.

Run ooo. Nothing do them but the problem is the child or children they have. The lady will start to victimize the man thinking the man doesn't want to show affection for her child. The child grows up and start babbling after all you are not my father. Avoid single mothers they are cancers

Lol… it appears u are already getting angry….we dont have to agree

But Like i said…. Continue to expect others to be responsible for you own chastity….. if you have a daughter don't tell her to close her legs… instead keep screaming at all the men you see not to approach her

So why are men getting married and feeling bad if a woman rejects their marriage proposal?
The society pushes men into getting married. If a guy reaches certain age unmarried, even his family starts mounting excessive pressure on him and calling him irresponsible. For this reason, marriage has become an unavoidable burden men must carry in order to conform to societal order.
Re: Reasons Why Several Guys Do Not Want To Marry Single Mums by lapintoz: 9:23am On Mar 22
The problem with most single mum is thst you are No. 4 on their list of priorities even though they will make you think that you are No. 1.

No. 1 - The Child(ren)
No. 2 - Her own needs
No. 3 - Her own family needs
No 4 - The hidden re-desire for her baby father
No 5 - The mugu new husband

By the time her attention reach your side, nothing left in the basket!

I tell the baby mamas i know, men dont like to raise other men's kids. Because last last, the real father takes the glory. And you are left with nothing!
