Some men view a single mother to be a burden or a no no. They see it difficult to love a woman with another man's child. But these are some reasons why loving a single mother could be the best choice.

1. "Her love is tested"

2. "She is more mature"

Getting a child forces a woman to grow. She tends to be more mature than her peers who have no children.

3. "She knows what to do with money"

A succesful woman with no child tends to make money and spend her money in clubs, drinks, pampering herself and ventures that concern only her. But a single mother is more financially prudent with money, because a child/children depend on her, her priorities tend to be better placed.

4. "She has a bigger vision"

A successful woman with no child tends to have a vision restricted to self: her studies, her career, her goals. But a single mother must have a vision greater than hers, she sees way ahead in matters beyond her. The stakes of the future are higher because she must mother her child/children to it.
