Single parent means the parent is the only parent to the child, responsible for all financial, material and emotional needs. It means there is an absence of the other parent as opposed to a co-parent; meaning that the parent is not the only parent regardless of whether or not they are a couple.

When a person is able to date/marry somebody who would normally be way out of their league, because they don't care that the person has children. Single parents are often desperate to find somebody who does not mind being around their kids, and therefore will lower their standards for a potential romantic partner.
