A
New Organization for Successful, Stable and Sexy Single
Moms
Message from the founder:
Hello!
Welcome to Hot Single Moms! It is my sheer pleasure to share
with you intimate details of our history, identity, stance in life,
goals and vision.
Oh, if you thought you had stumbled upon a porn site, I should
confide in you that this experience (of visiting the HSM site) is
more satiating than visiting a real porn site! For free, you’re
going to receive a fleeting fulfilling insight to a Hot Single Mom –
various facets of the traits that make her successful, stable, sexy,
and still very desirable as a serious potential mate.
History
The Hot Single Moms group was established in April 2007. I
had posted on craigslist countless times over the past 6 years since
I’d been single, looking for other single parents to hang out with
to do kids or family activities together. That produced one or
two single parents each time, but everyone was so totally busy with
their single parenting that they soon disappeared after one or two
meetings. Since my children were older, I decided that I needed
single mom friends to exchange notes about dating and offer each
other dating support, to attend singles events together, or to act
as each other’s “wingmen” in social settings. I posted my first
craigslist ad looking for other single moms for dating support in
February 2007, and that miraculously produced several like-minded
women – a couple of whom have since successfully moved on to
relationships and “graduated” from the group, and a couple who are
still here with me. By April 2007, there were about 8 members,
and I was finding it inefficient to coordinate everyone’s emails to
each other. Hence, the google group was born. Hmmm, but
what do I name the new group? After dating several men and
being amused by their surprise that I could still look so “hot”
after having 2 children, I decided that no better name could serve
this group of attractive, vivacious, wise and energetic women than
Hot Single Moms! Currently, the group has over 100 Bay Area
members, and the ages range from 30’s to early 50’s. A North
Bay/Marin County (north of San Francisco) chapter started in
February 2008.
Identity
I would like to educate people that not all single moms divorced
to make millions off their wealthy ex-spouses, or fit the
traditional outdated mental image of social welfare dependents
receiving food stamps and unable to break their substance-abuse
habits. Way on the contrary. Most worked really hard to
save their futile marriages and fought hard against divorce, like
myself. Some became single moms by choice after rejecting an
incompatible partner’s marriage proposal, or decided to conceive a
child by artificial insemination or via the sperm bank. And of
course, some became single moms after a beloved spouse suddenly
passed without a goodbye from accidents, illness, or more recently,
from trying to bring democracy to other lands beyond our own.
Stance in Life
Every single mom I have known has always put her children first
before herself. We stand for responsibility, self-reliance,
determination, and courage in the face of adversity. We work
during the day; still look after our children in between, in the
evenings & sometimes weekends as well; sometimes sacrificing our
personal and rest time to carry out the household chores, help the
children with their school work, become school volunteers as well as
sports team moms, etc. Some single moms do not have families
close by for a support network, like myself, and still stand outside
with a brazen smile on our faces for the challenges each brand new
day!
Goals
I hope Hot Single Moms will become the support network for all
single moms out there. It is currently Bay Area-based, but I
hope to create local groups in major cities in the future. I
hope the group will become the first point of contact for single
moms thinking that they are the only ones who have lost the company
of their married friends, or become alienated by their friends who
have never been married and without children.
I hope to create a vibrant community of single moms who thrive on
building relationships with each other, and in the process of making
new lifetime friends, will learn about and discover
themselves. Loving themselves and seeing the full potential of
their individuality without relying on a partner will guide single
moms to a future as successful, stable and sexy independent women as
well as successful long-term relationship or marriage partners, if
that is one of their goals.
Vision
I would like to incorporate a non-profit division to Hot Single
Moms – that would reach out to truly destitute single moms. A
vision of HOPE – that there will always be light at the end of the
tunnel – with single moms helping other single moms by being the
guiding light, advocate of hope, and a mentor or role model.
In the following pages, I hope it will illuminate to you that Hot
Single Moms are often the sole support system of a disintegrated
family, and more often than not, sacrifice a personal life for the
sake of raising their children full or part-time. Believe it or
not, Hot Single Moms in the Bay Area, are more than likely highly
educated established professionals who work hard both in and outside
of the home, successful and stable in their financially rewarding
careers, and still look fit and sexy in their outlook on life.
Thank you for starting the tour of Hot Single Moms!
Sincerely,
Wendy
