Key signs of a glow up include being confident in who you are (57%), feeling better about yourself than ever before (52%) or even finally embracing who you are (51%).<\/p>\n<p>Taking things a step further, another 77% experienced a \u201cgrow up,\u201d or a time when priorities come into perspective and mindsets shift. These respondents evolved into a more mature version of themselves (57%), left their old self in the past (51%) or let go of old grudges or negative feelings (49%).<\/p>\n<p>In fact, another 70% believe that their relationship with themselves improved when they became a single parent.<\/p>\n<p>Conducted by Talker Research on behalf of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stir.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stir<\/a>, the survey explored how single parents are embracing life and are reinventing what the next chapter holds.<\/p>\n<h2>Single Parents Are Attracting More Potential Partners<\/h2>\n<p>More than half (54%) find themselves being approached more by other singles or potential dates since becoming a single parent.<\/p>\n<p>Maturity (55%), the ability to show care and attention (54%) and responsibility (54%) are single parents\u2019 top three \u201cinstant turn-ons,\u201d and the good news is that those same three attributes are what respondents find most attractive about themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis research confirms that single parents aren&#8217;t just adapting \u2013 they&#8217;re elevating,\u201d said Rachel DeAlto, Chief Dating Expert, Stir. \u201cThe combination of personal growth and increased self-awareness creates a magnetic attraction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These periods of evolution didn\u2019t happen overnight, as the average single parent went through 11 months of self-rediscovery before venturing back out onto the dating scene.<\/p>\n<p>Learning how to adjust to being on their own (42%), taking better care of themselves (39%) and prioritizing their own needs (35%) are just a few of the steps single parents took before they were ready to get back into the world of dating.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly half (49%) of those surveyed even find themselves to be more dateable now than before they were single parents.<\/p>\n<p>Many attribute their post-break up desirability to the fact that they are now more confident (45%), though improved mental (43%) and emotional health (42%) are also top contributing factors.<\/p>\n<p>One-third (33%) of men even believe it\u2019s because they are physically healthier.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond dating, respondents also found that other aspects of their lives have evolved after becoming a single parent.<\/p>\n<h2>Beyond Romance: Friendships, Hobbies, and Self-Care Rise<\/h2>\n<p>Two in five (41%) spent more time with their family and friends, whereas dads were more likely than moms to focus on fitness (35%) or get back into old hobbies that their child\u2019s other parent didn&#8217;t like (24%).<\/p>\n<p>Single moms, on the other hand, prioritized self-care (41%) and are trying new things, such as new foods or taking classes (28%).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re seeing single parents prioritize themselves in healthy, transformative ways,\u201d said DeAlto. \u201cThis isn&#8217;t selfish \u2013 it&#8217;s strategic self-investment that benefits both parent and child.\u201d<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-77a2b51505e0255bcb3880f42ed561f0\"><strong>Single Parents\u2019 Are Instantly Turned on by Someone
