I think this is a generlization made towards immature guys. I am 32 and would never have a problem dating a woman with a child. I think the biggest hang up for guys though when it comes to this is that they get freaked when they really aren't just dating the woman...they are dating the woman and her child. As long as you ease the man into the environment, I wouldn't see it being a problem. I think most guys are open to it, just don't want to be instant dads.
my 2 cents, keep the change

Some guys are afraid to not only of receiving heat from his own family and friends, but you the guy will have to deal with the woman's ex. The situation varys with each single mom. It is a huge resposibility for the guy to deal with some thing like this.
If there truly is a decicated guy out there wanting to handle all the baggage taht comes with it, then you got it good

I have dated single mothers and a lot of times the child will see you as an outsider. This will create problems in a relationship and no matter how hard you hard you try. The child wishes always comes first. This does not only apply to men. Trust me a lot of women will not date men with children as well. A friend of mine is a single dad and he has had women stop seeing him because of his son.

Being that I'm a single Father, I do... as I am sure most other "single" guys do. Fact is most females that are 25+ will be Mothers. And if the thought of dating a single Mother is a turn off for you, most-likely you will find yourself alone for most of your life.

Because most men do not like responsibility, and there's no bigger responsibility than a child. Single moms must find babysitters before they can go out. They have other priorities than the man they're dating. They have to behave more responsibility than childless women.
Not all men are that way, but enough that it's definitely noticeable.

Most guys just don't like entering into a relationship with someone who already had a child/children. My baby daddy has a 4 year old and has told me the entire time I have know him that he would NEVER date a women with a child already...baggage I guess, think they would rather have their own.

Sometimes they are afraid of being with someone who already have kids. They think the kids won't listen, or the parent will get mad if you try to say something to the kids, or they just don't like kids. There are a lot of reasons why, but it depends on the person. There are plenty of people out there that will date someone with children.

everytime this question comes up (like 2x a week) I see the same answers from girls who don't know their @$$ from their elbows saying that it's because men don't like responsibility.
What kind of a crock is that?
The fact is, we're gonna spend the rest of our lives paying for women's mistakes, so why would we want to add this unnecessary burden to the pile?
Single mom = DEALBREAKER.
