...and signed up at Plenty of Fish. So, originally I was just curious and wanted to see the caliber of available man. Of course you have to create an account which I half-a**ed. Anyhow, I kinda felt like I was shopping for men, lol (granted most items were clearance). I actually sent messages to a couple of military guys in Iraq; I know it sounds strange but the distance appeals to me. Is that weird?

Nope the distance makes you feel safe which may be what you need right now.

What did you think of the guys on POF?

I've been on POF for about a month. So far I've thrown back everything I've caught

I got one response and the guy was semi-cute, but not my type; I just can't do facial piercings. I have to be honest that I'm not too crazy with the available guys. I also had an epiphany today that I'm not the same single girl I was before I had my daughter. Undoubtedly "single mother" is a turn-off for some guys, but I just want to practically wear a disclaimer that says "Just because I'm single doesn't mean I'm desperate and just because I have a child doesn't mean I'm looking for a replacement Dad-she has one".

""Just because I'm single doesn't mean I'm desperate and just because I have a child doesn't mean I'm looking for a replacement Dad-she has one"."

I know that feeling! Unfortunately though, the second part of that statement isn't fully true: since at some point we hope that the guy we're with will join us and our children as a "family unit" and therefore be involved in our child's life as a role model not unlike a father/ mother figure. So those who can't do it are best to just say it up front that they can't do it and save everyone time.
