If you want a man in your life at any time, there are some pretty practical reasons for finding this man when you are younger. First, the male/female ratio changes as people age. When people are in their 20s and early 30s, there are more single men than women. As people approach 40, however, the ratios even, then there are more single women than men. In addition, there is competition from younger women to add to the difficulty of snaring a suitable mate. So, it is just plain easier to find a man when you are younger. |

Second, there are not millions of good guys
to sort through, and the picking gets thinner as women age. We (men) are pretty hard to
housebreak; you might as well start early! Third, when a woman makes the children her sole focus, everyone loses something. 1. The lady misses the companionship, support, and intimacy the right partner could offer. An extra parent might give her an occasional break that could even make her an even better mom. 2. Children miss a resident, full-time, male-role model. 3. The guy loses a great lady and some wonderful kids. |

In spite of this, some women
still want to wait to have a relationship. Something is clearly wrong with this picture. I am not aware of any studies showing that single-parent families are better for children than two-parent families. I am also unaware of studies suggesting that lonely women make the best moms. Certainly your kids would like to have all your time ... but in the long run, they might be better off with a little less time from a lot more mom. Maybe it's time to "get a life." Many single moms feel dating will be too time-consuming. However, dating doesn't have to take forever. Most singles learned about dating while still in school. Unfortunately, they haven't learned much since. The rules have changed, though, and dating doesn't have to be frustrating and time consuming. Properly done, singles' ads, social functions, matchmakers, and plenty of other alternatives exist to sitting at a bar if you really want to meet someone.
