Are there many older men who would be just as put off by, and want to avoid, a single mother as a married woman with children?

Generally speaking, I feel like there are fewer of them than married women with children. Personally, having children is a negative factor when I’m considering an offer, but it’s not an automatic dealbreaker in the way something like a tattoo might be. If she were such a wonderful woman that it outweighed the negative of having children, I’d have no problem making her an offer.

Knowing whether it’s a lot or a little doesn’t really mean anything.

I personally can’t be involved with married women. Women who have boyfriends are off-limits too, because I’d feel bad for the other man. That’s just my own personal preference. I have no problem with unmarried—or divorced—women who have children. There was a woman I met through a dating club who initially kept it from me, but eventually told me after we’d met a few times. I was glad she opened up to me honestly. She also had twins, so we talked about how difficult things must be for her and so on. After taking a shower, we had a proper conversation about seeing each other seriously. When I saw our reflections in the mirror, she seemed self-conscious about her breasts. Maybe she was worried about them sagging after breastfeeding. I thought it didn’t matter at all, but somehow I couldn’t bring myself to say that. Some time later, we stopped seeing each other because I was still young and said something hurtful. When we parted, she gave me a radiant smile, kissed me, and hugged me tightly. I only realized that was her message after I could no longer get in touch with her. Years later, while drunk, I emailed her, saying, “I’m sorry about what happened back then.” It was the first reply I’d received since we broke up: “Don’t apologize. We clashed because we genuinely loved each other.” I was both sad and happy to hear that. Afterward, we lost touch again. She was younger than me, but far more mature（笑） Sorry for going off on a tangent. To answer your question: “It depends on the person.” That said, I think people who are accepting will accept everything about you. So I’d say to look at the person, and if you feel there’s a chance, tell her how you feel. I wrote the story above to give you an idea of what someone who accepted that situation might have felt. I don’t know if it will be helpful, but I hope it gives you a little more courage to confess your feelings. Taro

Whether you’re single or married, if you have young children, you’d need to leave them with someone, right? When I think about my kids, I just can’t bring myself to go on dates.

Many male members sign up here to avoid risks, so I think a lot of them would prefer to avoid that.

In my case, like I said in another answer, there are only two options: either tell me right away or keep it hidden until the very end. So it’s not that I dislike it or try to avoid it. I don’t know whether it’s common, like Kazu says.

I don’t know whether that’s common or not. Two of the women I’m seeing are single mothers. They’ve grown as people through their experiences, and women who’ve given birth are often physically compatible as well, so I’m actually quite fond of them. The only drawbacks are that I feel a little more responsible for looking after them, and they’re not as flexible with their time.

It’s not that I dislike it at all. It’s just that if it’s possible to meet someone who fulfills all my needs, I can’t help thinking there’s no reason to settle.
