Single moms with sons struggle to find new mates

These may be more enlightened times, but single mothers-particularly those with boys-still face a struggle finding a new partner in China, an online dating agency has found.

A survey of more than 10,000 divorcees registered with online matchmaking service provider Jiayuan found that 35 percent of men would not consider dating someone with a child, while 25 percent said they would reject any woman with a son.

For women seeking men, the proportion was 27 percent and almost 13 percent respectively, according to the survey conducted in late February and released over the weekend.
