Not Dating Men Raised by Single Mothers

[likewtr4chklit]

I'll admit that THIS BOARD caused me to think twice about dating men from single parent homes, but when I took the time to review my own personal experiences - I found that there were other things that I could ask, do, look for, etc to discern if a man has the qualities that i'm looking for.

I hope that other young single women will do the same instead of going by sweeping generalizations.

Can someone comment on their experience with men raised by single fathers? I'm kinda interested in someone who hasn't had much interaction with his mother since he was 12 or 13.

I hear people say, "make sure he has a good relationship with his mother"...but what does that really mean? I do think he may have some issues accepting love, though he desperately wants it (perhaps abandonment issues?). Thoughts??

I dated a guy raised by his dad until he was about 15. Great guy, hard working, believed in providing, treated me well. I was just too young for what he wanted. Otherwise he was a keeper
