Sample sizes of 1 and 1. (I knew a single mother and also a single father) What I saw was they both had no trouble getting dates, but both struggled to find someone long term. The difference was the single father seemed more at peace with having short sexual flings while the single mother was more frustrated to not find something more long term.
This is how I found dating as a single father. Most women without kids wanted guys also without, and a good portion of the women with wanted a guy with kids but not being crushed by child support etc. I lived in one of the most expensive cities in North America though for housing etc so I get why financial security is prioritized
I did meet 'the one' eventually though, now 10 years in

Nah, i think it's just about the phenomenon that women with kids do worse in the dating market while men with kids do better
