I was talking to a single woman (single mother) about dating as a single parent. I think she mentioned she's been pretty busy with her kids lately to date.
She told me, even though I'm 47, that I may be better off dating a woman without kids, because most single parents want to date single parents and someone without kids would never understand the other's situation. I thought it was a bit presumptous to say on her part, but I bit.
I asked her, "Well, how much younger do you suggest?" and she said, "Mid-30s" I laughed and said, "Well, I have to find a woman that'd be willing to stomach dating someone a decade older than herself. And heck, there are a ton of mid-30s women with kids, still. But if they don't have kids, the other party has to be open to dating older.
Do you think it was a silly suggestion on her part?
