  1. When I was a young middle school teacher (before I became a college professor), some of my girl students tried to match make me with their moms. Kids really do need and want a father or father figure in their lives. As a teacher, I can testify that 90% of my students with behavioral problems had no male authority figure in their lives. My female colleagues always envied how easy it was for me and the other male teachers to get students to behave: both boys and girls respond more positively to male authority. It's too bad our schools are not only female-centered but becoming moreso year upon year.

  2. Women file 80%-90% of divorces, so being a single mother is absolutely a choice.

  3. I dated single mothers when I was in my thirties. I like kids and get along very well with them, so that part was no problem. Kids can tell if you like them--you can't fool them the way you can adults. The problem was that every single mother I dated had an ex-husband or ex-boyfriend who was either the person they hated most in the world, or the person they still wanted most in the world. Most of these guys (not all of them) were either bad fathers or else the women had driven them away. It quickly became apparent that I was going to pay for whatever debt the ex had incurred, or that I was always going to be her second choice. One single mother used to slip and call me her ex-husband's name when we disagreed on something. Another one went running back to her ex when he wanted her, until he didn't want her, and then she tried to come back to me (I said "no" of course). And she ranted against him many times during our relationship, telling me what an absolute a-hole he was--then went back to him. I don't think the problem is "single mothers" so much as women who haven't resolved the issues from their most significant relationship (the one that resulted in having a child). Those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it.
