In particular, why do many people often label single guys as immature or "not man enough" to date a single mom, instead of anticipating and respecting the legitimate (and often very mature) reasoning men have for not becoming involved?

I’m 32 years old and I have three children. I am presently an Executive at a Globally known company. I have my own house, car and love to travel. I love sharing and experiencing new things. But I’m tired of experiencing them alone, I’ve been single for the past three years and openly dating. Everyone I meet likes being single I don’t. I’m honest off the bat. I let them know I would like a relationship, I’m not looking to get married but would like to deal with the same person for a while.

I am seeing someone right now that had a young relationship when we met. He discontinued his relationship with her when we started "kicking it" but he still talks to her. But I see him maybe 4 to 5 times a week. I have alot of responsibility, he has none. We had a long conversation last night…let me rephrase that, he had a long conversation last night about how he loves being single and he has to "do him". I don’t want that anymore but I’ve given up. I need some words of encouragement…something to help me deal with this new society of speed loving, no more forevers, no one says forever they say for life and if we are talking prison terms isn’t that like 15 years? Lol…you know what I mean. I just need some advice on how to cope with the dilema of being single at my age and also attracting younger men. He is much younger than me which I think is the underlying issue. HELP!!!

I’m usually not this distraught with these matters but the holidays are coming up and I am starting to hate the way I live.
No, I’m not fat, I am actually very attractive and that’s why I attract younger men.

We all know those are among the best citizens in America and give so much to this country.

My question is simply how many of Obama’s voters consist of these admirable people.
Isn’t it about time these people get the wonderful things they deserve by having Obama transfer money to them?

I am a single mom of three and want to pursue a college degree, an AA then transfer into a 4 year university. I dont have family in the same city and the father is not in the picture along with no CS, anyways I just want to hear from single mothers who are in college and how do you make it work, Does financial aid really help much?

The British government currently pays welfare to single mothers, but is looking to review those payments. Until now they have been unconditional, but new proposals suggest that payments may be withheld if mothers refuse training designed to help them re enter the workplace when the child becomes a year old.

In a surprising twist, the conservative opposition party (equivalent to the US Republicans) has opposed this, saying that mothers should receive benefits unconditionally until their children are all of school age.

An article in todays newspaper explains in much greater detail and can be found here: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/cameron-joins-labour-revolt-on-single-mothers-1192832.html

Brief excerpt follows:

"David Cameron will join rebel Labour MPs in opposing plans which would force single mothers to prepare for work when their youngest child reaches the age of one.

The Conservative leader yesterday denounced the Government’s proposal as "shameful" and accused ministers of playing "macho" politics with vulnerable lone parents.

Although the Opposition pledged its support in principle to the Government’s welfare reform plans published last week, it believes it is wrong to expect single parents to prepare for work until their youngest child reaches school age."

Should welfare payments to single mothers depend on whether they are prepared to work?
