Taking on a mom and dad role is a huge task on its own and a woman who makes it look easy attract men. Here’s why:

1. They’re mature

Regardless of age, when you’re now responsible for other people, naturally maturity kicks in and men love a mature woman.

2. They’re independent

Even though a little help can lift some weight off their shoulders, they depend on themselves and not anyone else for everything. If they don’t make things happen, no one else will.

3. They’re quirky

They’re the realest girlfriend any man wishes for. Small things that annoy childless women don’t faze them. They’ve been pee’d on, vomited on and all the other disgusting things you can imagine.

4. They’re patient

Raising kids on their own tests their patience and that works out well for the guys. They have much higher tolerance for little things like arriving late and picking up after him

5. They’re committed

Once they start something with you know that they’re in full force. Most of them would rather have one partner and potentially get something solid from it than have to juggle multiple partners, it’s a lot of work and a waste of time for them.

6. They’ve got a great sense of humour

They have to because having kids means seeing and hearing the unexpected on a daily basis, sometimes it makes them angry and sometimes they just have to laugh it off. So those ‘not so funny’ jokes men like telling get laughed off at and men totally love it.

7. They’re flexible

Not that they’ll understand every time you bail out on them, but at most times they do. They get it, sometimes unforeseen problems requires one to cancel dates.
