Online Dating Profiles of Divorced Single Moms
If you’re a single mom who is recently divorced or maybe you’ve been divorced for awhile and you just feel like “now’s the time” for you to jump pack into the dating game and venture into internet dating, I have a little word of caution for, as well as the single guys reading your profiles.
In this same series of the examples of the singles to just stay clear from, we’ve had
Internet Dating Profile Personas of Men: Mr. Laid Back, Internet Dating Personas of Women: She Gives High Maintenance a Bad Name and, Internet Dating Personas of Men Online: Wussy Guy.
Well, single moms, do single guys need to steer clear of your profile? You didn’t just write the equivalent length profile of your college admissions essay about how much you love being a mom, how you’re juggling childcare and getting your kids to their soccer practice just leaves you no time for a personal life, right? Your dating profile photos aren’t where you’re either with your kids or your hair is up in a scrunchie while you wear mom wear (please see a few episodes of Stacy London and Clinton Kelly sharing fashion and image wisdom in TLC’s “What Not to Wear.”), right? No, no, of course not. YOUR image is attractive and alluring. Another phrase you could use to describe YOUR image is “Classy Sexy,” right? (Don’t make me report you to Stacy and Clinton! lol) You have bought a new outfit for yourself in the last year, and at least 1 of those included a cute cocktail date dress and a darling skirt, right? Of course it did.
And your dating profile photos. They are all of you, yes? None with your children, right? Your image is one of being an interesting life partner, shared life companion, who does some interesting things in life where a single man just has his interest piqued.
Meanwhile, you are not lying about being a mom in your profile. Of course. Because while the goal of internet dating is 1. Volume and 2. Get to the Date, the number #1 RULE of internet dating is ….
Be Truthful.
So, you naturally have already truthfully identified yourself as being a single mom by your designation as “Divorced” and as “Having Children.” What that means is you have no need to add more your being a single mom to your dating profile. You might be just a bit curious as to why? The reason why is you want to project your attractive and alluring woman image. To add more from your single mom image would be to overpower you Attractive and Alluring Woman image with too much Matronly image and energy.
Once you’re really ready to be dating again, after you’ve done some personal work to release whatever it was about your ex that you just might need to do, make sure your dating profile puts the right image out about you to attract single men and avoid putting them off. You’re a divorced woman who is a single mom. It doesn’t define you 100%. It’s part of who you are, not everything about you.
Happy Dating and Relationships,

October 17, 2011 at 9:34 PMApril, that’s great advice to single moms! Writing a good profile is difficult enough without faling into those traps – we’d be silly to even consider writing a profile without your help!
I particularly like your comment that being a single mum is “part of who you are, not everything about you” – a very valuable point!

October 17, 2011 at 10:18 PMExcellent advice for single moms! There are far too many single parents who center their lives around their children to the exclusion of all else and then wonder why they can’t get a date or make a relationship work.

October 18, 2011 at 12:38 AMWow there is so much that goes into online dating and having a successful profile. I know my cousin said that when he put a pictue of him with his mom on his online dating profile he got a lot more responses to his profile. Do you think it is a good idea for men to have a picture of them with their mother on their profile?

October 18, 2011 at 3:24 PMI’m often surprized when someone dating again after divorce takes the reigns and writes their own internet dating profile. Single Moms, listen to the only internet dating expert April and have her give you the profile you deserve. You’ll be happy with the profile, and happier with the results.

October 18, 2011 at 4:51 PMHi April,
I like how you state for the single-mom to simply put “divorced” and “having children” … enough said. Funny thing is that I wouldn’t even realize why I would pass up a profile of a single-mom talking all about her kid(s) until you pointed it out!

October 20, 2011 at 5:29 AMI definitely like this post. Single Moms should never lie about that but, by the same token, most men would not be looking to date the children.
Be classy, be sexy, be honest. The rest will take care of itself.
