They're not wrong. In fact I'd say it starts earlier than 30. There's a lot of single moms even starting at 25.
When you stop and considerate it, thismakes sense. A majority of guys will refuse to seriously date single women. If they thought men's commitment was bad without children then you got a whole new can of worms to open once you throw kids in the mix.
You're going to see some of this is shallow but it's just the reality. To different guys it's seen as either extra responsibility, extra baggage, others who are more concerned with sex over the person will see it as "wear and tear" and finally others will think they're being used as a wallet which is already a concern but exacerbated by an additional human included in the package. Edit: One more thing some guys see a child as an eternal reminder that she loved another.
So in the dating market, a childless woman is seen as being "higher value". Essentially a canvas that doesn't already have somebody's paint all over it. So yes, single moms are going to be more readily available.
More readily available doesnt mean that anything else isnt out there though. Unattractive people are more readily available than attractive ones. Doesnt mean its impossible to get with somebody attractive.
