It’s only the second week into the thirteenth season of The Bachelor — and Jason Mesnick has already booted two of the four single moms off the show!

Can someone please enlighten us here? Does a reality show like the The Bachelor really shed light on the reality of dating single dads?

Secretly, we’ve always suspected that many single dads shy away from single moms. Now, for the first time ever, our worst fears are apparently confirmed.

We’d love to know:

Do single dads deliberately avoid single moms in order to keep the focus on their own kids?

We’ve spoken to many single dads who tell us they have already have more than enough of their own “ex drama.” They’re not interested in the complications of dating a single mom, especially her “ex drama” -– not to mention her own kid complications.

Is this true?

Last week, Jason Mesnick on The Bachelor sent home:

- Treasure, a 28-year-old nurse practitioner and single mom from Utah

- Stacia, a 24-year-old charity accountant and single mom from Utah

The two single moms remaining are:

- Megan, a 25-year-old lacrosse coach and single mom from Pennsylvania

- Stephanie, a widowed 34-year-old medical marketing representative from Alabama (that’s her in the photo, on the left).

Tell us, single dads: Do you avoid dating single moms?

And single moms, we’d love to hear your thoughts on this one!
