Reason 2: Lower Expectations
She Knows Prince Charming is a Fairy Tale
A single mom is not as high maintenance as a woman still struggling with the princess syndrome. She’s already worn the dress, taken a ride in the carriage that turned back into a pumpkin and lost her silver slipper. She doesn’t want the illusion of a Prince Charming; she wants a real man who though imperfect is willing to give her his all.
Single moms play fewer games. If she doesn’t like you she will tell you. If she’s into money, she’ll let you know right off the bat. When a woman only has every other weekend to date, she has to be efficient and get to the point. She is done messing around.
According to AskMen.com, “The advantage to the single mother is that she has been through the game and is confident of her relationship needs. Most men who need a translator to decipher female code can appreciate this: you may not need one with a single mother because she does not have the time or energy to be playful or mysterious. She will tell you upfront what she expects and wants from you.”
A single mom doesn’t care if you have all your hair. She wants to know if your few strands of hair will be will around in ten years. She seeks stability, honesty, and most importantly integrity. Inner qualities become far more important to a woman with children than a flashy car or a big bank account.
A single mom seeks less image management and more authentic character.
Now let’s consider the guys. A single dad knows CHARACTER matters. He’s realized beauty fades but ugly goes all the way to the bone. He’s learned the attributes of stability, honesty and integrity matter. He understands a good woman is a true treasure and this time around he will search for the pearls not just the flashy gems.
