I know several single moms and most of them have boyfriends. They post pictures of their "familes" on Facebook. Vactions, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Bar Mitzvahs, etc. And their boyfriends don't have kids of their own. I understand having a single mom as a jump off. I understand a single dad dating a single mom. I don't understand a childless man dating a single mom. It makes no sense to commit financial and emotional resources to children who aren't yours. She probably has a ton of debt. The single moms I know aren't the best at managing money. If you marry the mother, you could pay alimony and child support for children who aren't yours if she divorces you. That's a ridiculous amount of risk just to be not unhappy. I don't know if these men know the truth and ignore it or are unware of the truth. But I do know that the thirst is real.
Captain save-a-hoe syndrome. These guys are a gold digger's dream! It's a little about the thirst, but it's also about a Jesus fantasy wherein, if they can save some skank from her sins, it makes them feel like a mini Savior. The more fucked up she is, the bigger the payoff when he saves her. Of course, once her life is stable, she'll get bored and go back to her whore ways.
It's not unlike a woman dating and trying to change a bad boy - she defines her worth by the amount she's able to change him.
